(IWA, 2023)In Ghana, crystalline rock aquifers with secondary hydraulic features and preferential flow pathways serve as very important aquifers. Protecting and managing these geological porous media require identifying preferential ...
-
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022)Transportation has the highest dependence on fossil fuels of any sector and accounts for 37% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Maritime transportation is responsible for around 940 million tons of CO2 and approximately ...
-
(Journal of Recycling Organic Waste in Agriculture, 2022)Purpose Recycling of food waste fraction of municipal solid waste into compost for use in agriculture is seen as an effective environmentally–friendly option. In developing countries, however, there are few commercial ...
-
(Water-Energy Nexus, 2022)Water, Energy and Food (WEF) are inextricably linked, and the Water-Energy-Food nexus (WEF nexus) provides a comprehensive framework for addressing the complex and intricate interconnections in the development of these ...
-
(International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2022)Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is required for a good estimation of available water for use in any catchment as ET constitutes major means by which water is lost in any catchment. SWAT model uses climate ...
-
(Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2022)The availability of water in the Senegal River basin is a basic issue for moving towards efficient resource management. Given the extent of the river and the large number of stations, hydrological modelling is a reliable ...

Impacts of climate change on crop and irrigation water requirement in the Savannah regions of Ghana. (2022)Irrigation is important for food security, however, water requirements for sustainable irrigation may be affected by climate change. The study analysed water requirements of two commonly cultivated crops in the dry season ...
-
(Sustainability, 2022)The Black Volta River basin faces several challenges, which impede the sustainability of its water resources and biodiversity. Climate change coupled with land use/land cover (LULC) change patterns account for most of the ...
-
(2017)We are in an advancing stage of data acquisition and an even greater dynamic stage of dealing with big data. Data sizes have evolved over the years from a few kilobytes to Exabyte. The transportation engineer has also been ...

(EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts, 2017)
-
(80th European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers (EAGE) Conference and Exhibition, 2018)An approach to characterization of multilayer aquifer systems using open well borehole dilution is described. The approach involves measuring observation well flow velocities while a nearby extraction well is pumped by ...

(Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science, 2016)The trade-off between full cost recovery and providing the urban poor with potable water in the right quantity, quality and at affordable prices is ever increasing especially in African countries. Ghana, not being an ...
-
(Civil and Environmental Research, 2016)Delays in construction projects are a global phenomenon, causing a multitude of negative effects on the key project participants – clients, consultants, and contractors. The main purpose of this study is to identify the ...
-
(Journal of Civil Engineering and Construction Technology, 2017)The paper reports results of study on standard masonry mortar containing sand and sawdust as aggregates in a mix proportion of 1:3 and water-cement ratio of 0.55. A modified mortar of same design mix proportion (1:3) but ...
-
(International Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT), 2017)The effect of biotite on rheological properties of bitumen was investigated using biotite extracted from gneiss rocks. The research methodology involves two phases. The first phase involves the separation of biotite from ...
-
Study of recycled polyethylene plastic waste as binder in building block for greener construction. (International Journal of Trend in Research and Development (IJTRD), 2018)Plastic production has overtaken most man-made materials including metals and has long been under environmental scrutiny. Most plastic wastes are accumulated in landfills, natural environment and oceans. It is estimated ...
-
(Geoenvironmental Disasters, 2016)Background: Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters of climate change effects in West Africa. Flood risk occurrence is a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors, which calls for a better understanding ...
-
(Sustainability, 2016)Flood risk occurrence is very often related to heavy precipitation; and available future weather data is a potential source for long term flood risk prediction. The aim of this paper was to determine and analyze trends in ...
-
(Climate Change Research at Universities, 2017)Flood risk occurrence is very often related to heavy precipitation. The availability of analysis of weather data is a potential source for long term flood risk prediction and management. The aim of this paper was to determine ...
