BIOSAN Latrine for Refugee Camps
Makhanu, S. K.; Waswa, George (2010)Provision for energy needs, safe water supply and sustenance of environmental quality are among the topmost challenges facing the present human society. Water and sanitation inadequacies also hinder economic and social ... -
Indigenous Construction Technologies in Flood-Prone Areas of Western Kenya
China, S. S.; Waswa, George; Kundu, P.M.; Omuterema, S.O. (2007)Shelter and sanitation are essential for the well-being and development of most societies. The approach and technology for the provision of shelter and sanitation varies with the social, economic and environmental ... -
Interactive comment on “A model of landslide triggering by transient pressure waves
Waswa, George; Lorentz, S. A. (Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014)Hydraulic diffusivity coefficient in Iverson’s (2000) paper and Pressure head diffusivity coefficient in our manuscript may appear as a matter of semantics, but they do not describe the same physical process, as indicated ... -
Interactive comment on“Hillslope experimentdemonstrates role of convergence during two-stepsaturation”byA. I. Gevaert et al.
Waswa, George (Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014)Based on experimental results, obtained from a large scale physical model, Gevaertet al. (2014) attempt to present an alternative physical process of the formation of agroundwater ridge; its dependence on the shape of a ... -
A model of landslide triggering bytransient pressure waves
Waswa, George; Lorentz, Simon A. (Copernicus GmbH, 2014)Previous studies indicate that most rainfall-triggered shallow landslides are initiated by a spike in rainfall intensity, which does not usually occur at the beginning of a critical storm, within which the slide is triggered, ... -
Model Post Disaster Reconstruction in Third World Countries, (Case of El Nino Emergency Project– Kenya)
Makhanu, K.S; Waswa, George; Masinde, G. W. (2007)Following El Nino phenomena that occurred between November 1997 and March 1998, heavy rainfall all over the country caused floods that impacted thirty-five of the seventy-six administrative districts and the provincial ... -
A Pressure Wave Theory For a Transient Drawdown in an Unconfined Aquifer
Waswa, George (2018)Previous observations indicate that when an unconfined aquifer is pumped at a constant rate, the drawdown-time curve exhibits a three-segment graph; a steep early time segment, a flatter intermediate segment and a somehow ...
