How Can We Represent Seasonal Land Use Dynamics in SWAT and SWAT+ Models for African Cultivated Catchments?
(MDPI, 2020-05-28)In SWAT and SWAT+ models, the variations in hydrological processes are represented by Hydrological Response Units (HRUs). In the default models, agricultural land cover is represented by a single growing cycle. However, ... -
Hybrid CV-CC operation of capacitive deionization in comparison with constant current and constant voltage
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2016-02-24)Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a technique used to desalinate saline water by means of electrical potential applied to the electrode along both sides of a spacer channel through which water flows. CDI operates either at ... -
Hybrid Reverse Osmosis‐Capacitive Deionization versus Two‐Stage Reverse Osmosis: A Comparative Analysis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2014-06-06)Reverse osmosis (RO) is a high‐pressure single‐phase desalination process used to obtain freshwater from seawater/brackish water. The RO system shows high energy consumption for a given unit volume of pure water produced. ... -

Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia removal from biogas using water hyacinth-derived carbon nanomaterials
(Academic Journals, 2017-07-31)The presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) in biogas pose serious human health and environmental challenges. In this study, H2S and NH3 were successfully removed from biogas using water hyacinth-derived ... -
Hydrogeochemical characteristics and spatial distribution of groundwater quality in Arusha well fields, Northern Tanzania
(Springer, 2018-07-09)Arusha aquifers have been exploited intensively serving as the main source of domestic water supply in the city. But the quality of groundwater is not clearly documented for future planning and management. Hydrogeochemical ... -
Hydrogeochemical similarities and groundwater-surface water interactions for the karst hydrological system of northwest Rwanda
(Springer International Publishing, 2023-08)The groundwater of karst environments is vulnerable to pollution due to its heterogeneous nature and can be completely depleted due to its strong connection to surface water when predominantly driven by natural and ... -
Hydrologic responses to climate and land use/cover changes in world heritage site of Ngorongoro conservation area and surrounding catchments, northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2023-01)In Tanzania, various studies have analyzed the impact of climate and land use/cover changes on water resources. However, information on the interactions between climate and land use/cover change, temporal and spatial ... -
Hydrological System and Water Balance of Ungauged Crater Lakes of the Northern Crater Highlands
