Mwangi, Moses (2014-02)
The impact of climate variability and extreme weather events on gender: gender vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies for improved household food security in Malawi.

Nyariki, Dickson M.; Tasokwa Kakota, V. M.; Mkwambisi, D.; Kogi-Makau, W. (2010-09)

The challenge to achieving household food security is a combination of biological, physical, and social factors. However, social factors, gender in particular, have received a cursory attention in adaptation studies. This ...
Impact of hydrological and land use processes on the quality of water in the Gucha catchment, southwestern Kenya

Kitheka, Johnson U.; Ongwenyi, George S.; Nyagaga, James M. (1993)

The paper examines the hydrological and land use processes that are affecting the quality of water in the Gucha catchment situated within the lake basin region in southwestern Kenya. The significance of hydrological ...
Impacts of floods and drought on the development of water resources of Kenya: case studies of Nyando and Tana catchments

Kitheka, Johnson U.; Ongwenyi; Abwao, P. (1993-07)

With the rapidly growing population in Kenya at an estimated rate of 3.63% per annum and the resultant high rate of urbanization coupled with the fact that 75 % of the country is either arid or ...
Impacts of floods and drought on the development of water resources of Kenya: case studies of Nyando and Tana catchments

Ongwenyi, G. S.; Denga, F. G.; Abwao, P.; Kitheka, Johnson U. (1993)

With the rapidly growing population in Kenya at an estimated rate of 3.63% per annum and the resultant high rate of urbanization coupled with the fact that 75 % of the country is either arid or semiarid, the proper management ...
Impacts of weeds and weeding regimes on maize forage yields and quality for resource poor maize-dairy farmers in Central Kenya

Mburu, Mary W. K.; Murdoch, A. J.; Maina, J. M.; Kivuva, B. M.; Njuguna, J. M.; Mwangi, D. M. (2004-06)

A survey of maize-dairy farmers in the Central Kenyan Highlands showed that thinnings, green stover, dry stover and weeds from the maize crop respectively comprised 6%, 10%, 8% and 5% of the total forage. Nevertheless, ...
Improving soil hydrological properties of denuded semi-arid rangeland in southeastern Kenya using reseeding technology

Mganga, Kevin Z.; Musimba, Nashon K. R.; Nyangito, M. M.; Nyariki, Dickson M.; Ekaya, W. N.; Mwang’ombe, Agnes W. (2010-09)

A study was conducted to establish the contribution of Eragrostis superba, Enteropogon macrostachyus and Cenchrus ciliaris in improving soil hydrological properties in semi-arid Kenya. Kamphorst rainfall simulator was ...
Influence of forage value on the choice of grass species to combat desertification in semi-arid regions of Kenya

Mganga, Kevin Z.; Musimba, Nashon K. R.; Nyariki, Dickson M.; Nyangito, M. M.; Mwang’ombe, Agnes W. (2016)
