Fusion of TerraSAR-x and Landsat ETM+ data for protected areamapping in Uganda.
(Elsevier, 2015)
TerraSAR-X satellite acquires very high spatial resolution data with potential for detailed land cover mapping. A known problem with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is the lack of spectral information.Fusion of SAR and ...
Reverse logistics system and recycling potential at a landfill: A case study from Kampala City
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
The rapid growing population and high urbanisation rates in Sub-Saharan Africa has caused enormous pressure on collection services of the generated waste in the urban areas. This has put a burden on land-filling, which is ...
Stabilization of heavily trafficked gravel roads using waste steel slag
(Makerere University, 2015-11)
ABSTRACT
Enormous quantities of waste materials, both domestic and industrial are generated every year in Uganda’s steel making factories which include among others Roofing Rolling Mills Ltd, Steel rolling Mills, Modern ...
The impact of abstraction on the quality and quantity of groundwater in Kampala: A case of Kawempe Division
(2015-10)
Studying the impact of abstraction of groundwater on its quantity and quality in the deep aquifers will contribute to the mitigation of pollution in water resources in urban areas. Assessment of groundwater quality and ...
Evaluation of human/afterbirth placenta waste management effectiveness and selection of the best treatment technology using AHP in Kampala health units
(Makerere University, 2015-10)
Proper treatment of human/afterbirth placenta waste plays a major role in prevention of
infection, disease transfer and environmental hazards. However, storage, treatment and
disposal of the human placenta have remained ...

(2015-11)
The study aimed at determining rainwater harvesting potential as an appropriate technology for water supply in peri-urban areas in Uganda with the case study of Bwaise, Kawempe Division, Kampala. Three hundred eighty four ...
Value engineering application in the improvement of charcoal briquetting processes in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2015-07)
The increase in the demand for energy in Uganda due to the high population growth rate coupled with unsustainable harvesting and poor management of forests means that Uganda is approaching a biomass fuel crisis. This ...
Investigation into the engineering properties of marble dust and river sand stabilized black cotton soil for subgrade construction
(Makerere University, 2015-11)
Expansive soils such as black cotton soils undergo volumetric changes when exposed to moisture variations consequently resulting into premature failures of civil engineering infrastructure founded on them. To avert this ...
