Abstract To understand Phosphorus (P) sources and transport processes in the subsurface in Bwaise III Parish, Kampala, P attenuation and adsorption capacities of soils were studied in situ and from laboratory measurements. Relationships between sorption parameters and soil matrix properties, rates and mechanism of the adsorption process and soil P fractions were also investigated. P...Read More

Abstract A study to assess the impacts of land use and hydrogeological characteristics on the shallow groundwater in one of Kampala’s peri-urban areas (Bwaise III Parish) was undertaken for a period of 19 months. Water quality monitoring was carried out for 16 installed wells and one operational protected spring to ascertain the seasonal variation. The...Read More

Abstract Moisture damage in bituminous surfaced pavements is a serious problem on many roads in Uganda. This damage affects the cost of transportation leading to difficulty in implementing Government’s Poverty Eradication Action Plan. Use of anti-stripping additives has globally been practiced to abate this damage. However, in tropical Africa use of conventional anti-stripping additives (ASAs)...Read More

Abstract In urine diverting toilets, urine and faeces are collected separately. The purpose is to collect the fractions in their undiluted and small volume concentrations and to recycle their nutrient content. Faeces should be treated before they are used in agriculture since they may contain enteric microorganisms, some of which may be pathogenic. In this paper, composting of...Read More
