This is done without proper information on whether the water meets quality standards set out by Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). Communities in this area of study have therefore resorted to obtaining ground water through drilling boreholes and digging shallow wells for their domestic needs. These towns have either no or inadequate supply of water from the local governments, that is, Kajiado, Machakos and Nairobi. This has led to establishment of satellite towns such as Ngong, Kiserian, Ongata Rongai, Mlolongo, Kitengela and Ruai. The Upper Athi River sub-catchment area has experienced exponential growth of human population since the turn of the century. Keywords: Average annual rainfall Average maximum temperature Trends Climatological standard normal Temperatures were indicators of the presence of climate change. Therefore, the declining average annual rainfall accompanied with rising maximum Temperature for 1981-2012 period was 0.5☌ a positive trend showing that the annual maximum temperaturesĪre rising in the study area. The average annual rainfallĪnomaly for 1984-2013 periods was -8.8 mm an indication of a declining rainfall trend while the annual maximum Provisional normal was computed for a period of 10 years due to lack of adequate data. Period between 19 which was used to compute the average annual rainfall anomaly. The rainfall climatological standard normal was computed for a 25-year The meteorological datasets were 1984-2013 records for

Was accomplished with the use of MS Excel spreadsheets. The aim of the study was to analyze average annual rainfall and average maximum annual temperature records forģ0 years in the study area to establish trends hence confirm the presence or absence of climate change. Therefore, supplemental irrigation can be adopted in areas where rainfall trends are declining to increase crop yields when all other factors remain constant for farmers to increase resilience. The total rain-fed crop yields for the period was 147.0 Kgs and that of the one under SI was 238Kgs, an increase of about 62%. F value was 17.94 higher than the critical value of 4.01 while the P-value of 9x10-5 was lower than the 5% level of confidence meaning that there was a significant difference in the yield means of rain-fed and SI crops.

This was done by MS Excel 2016 spread sheets by setting a statistical level of significance of 5%. The average weekly yields were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine whether the average yields from rain-fed and supplemental irrigated crops were statistically different.

The average weekly yields were computed for both crops for each season comprised of 14 weeks. The planting for rain-fed crops was done in three blocks each measuring 10m x1m with a spacing of 30cm between plants and 45cm between rows of plants and the procedure repeated for the crops receiving SI. The experiments were conducted in Kieni, Central Kenya where the rainfall pattern was bimodal.
TECDOC HBS SERIES
Overall, the results of calculation for the selected three tests of the IFA-650 series are in good agreement, or conservative in comparison to the data.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects that supplemental irrigation (SI) has on Kale (Brassica Oleracea) crop yields as compared to wholly rain-fed crop.
TECDOC HBS CODE
Three Halden LOCA experiments, IFA-650.12/13/14, using fuel irradiated in the Swiss Leibstadt NPP to a high level of fuel burnup are analyzed with the F2F coupled code system. Finally, close coupling of the updated FALCON and FRELAX codes is set up, referred to as the F2F coupled code system, due to which the two codes are being exchanging data during their simultaneous analysis.
TECDOC HBS FREE
The FRELAX code is redesigned with a view to simulation of bulk flow and diffusion of the gases in the rod free volume. The GRSW-A model of the FALCON code is extended to simulate the processes of fuel fragmentation and concomitant transient Fission Gas Release.

TECDOC HBS VERIFICATION
Outcomes of an activity on development and verification of models for Fission Gas Release in Light-Water Reactor fuels during Loss-of-Coolant Accidents are described.
