Field based assessment on the performance of house-hold biogas plants in Bishoftu Area, Ethiopia
(Makerere University, 2012-01)
Several programmes have been implemented to disseminate biogas technology in many parts of Ethiopia. Their success rate has however been poor. This is mainly due to less attention given after the technology is introduced. ...
Capacity utilization of National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) water supply system in Northern Uganda: a case study of Arua Municipality
(Makerere University, 2012-07)
Capacity utilization refers to the relationships between actual output that ‘is’ produced with the installed equipment and the potential output ‘which’ could be produced with it if capacity is fully utilized. The capacity ...
