  • Africa-Appropriate Urban Stormwater Management: The State of the Art

    Creator:
    Kahsai, Simon K.
    Abstract:
    Urban development causes changes in the hydrology, increasing stormwater runoff volumes, which often leads to flooding and ecosystem degradation. This is a common phenomenon in most urban Africa, due to lack of stormwater drainage infrastructures. Green Infrastructure (GI) has been shown to be an effective approach to lessen the effects...

  • Characterization of hydrologic parameters and processes in shrink-swell clay soils

    Creator:
    Stewart, Ryan D.
    Abstract:
    Vertisols and other vertic-intergrade soils are found all over the globe, including many agricultural and urban areas. These soils are characterized by their cyclical shrinking and swelling behaviors, where bulk density and porosity distribution both vary as functions of time and/or soil moisture. In turn, alterations in physical soil parameters...
