The Rise of Fashion and Lessons Learned at Bergdorf Goodman
Authors: Neimark Ira
Published: September 2016

From lavish events attended by high-profile personalities such as Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher, Jacqueline Onassis, and Yves Saint Laurent to the latest creative ventures of Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Donald Trump, Ira Neimark, the legendary leader of fashion luxury retail, recounts how he and his talented fashion and merchandising team brought Bergdorf Goodman to its leadership position—an approach, he shows, that continues to inform the most successful designers and business leaders today. While his personal anecdotes focus on how and why Bergdorf helped build the fashion industry during one of the most exciting periods in its history—the late sixties through the early nineties—the author also shares his views on how contemporary retailers have increased profits by skimping on service, resulting in the loss of customer loyalty. The Rise of Fashion and Lessons Learned at Bergdorf Goodman is a valuable resource for anyone who aspires to succeed in the business of luxury fashion.

Abstract. The implementation of strict emission control measures in Beijing and surrounding regions during the 2015 China Victory Day Parade provided a valuable opportunity to investigate related air quality improvements in a megacity. We measured NH3, NO2 and PM2.5 at multiple sites in and outside Beijing and summarized concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2 and CO in 291 cities across China from a national urban air quality monitoring network between August and September 2015. Consistently significant reductions of 12–35 % for NH3 and 33–59 % for NO2 in different areas of Beijing city during the emission control period (referred to as the Parade Blue period) were observed compared with measurements in the pre- and post-Parade Blue periods without emission controls. Average NH3 and NO2 concentrations at sites near traffic were strongly correlated and showed positive and significant responses to traffic reduction measures, suggesting that traffic is an important source of both NH3 and NOx in urban Beijing. Daily concentrations of PM2.5 and secondary inorganic aerosol (sulfate, ammonium, and nitrate) at the urban and rural sites both decreased during the Parade Blue period. Concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2 and CO from the national city-monitoring network showed the largest decrease (34–72 %) in Beijing, a smaller decrease (1–32 %) in North China (excluding Beijing), and an increase (6–16 %) in other regions of China during the emission control period. Integrated analysis of modeling and monitoring results demonstrated that emission control measures made a major contribution to air quality improvement in Beijing compared with a minor contribution from favorable meteorological conditions during the Parade Blue period. These results show that controls of secondary aerosol precursors (NH3, SO2 and NOx) locally and regionally are key to curbing air pollution in Beijing and probably in other mega cities worldwide.

Abstract. The main issue arising from the comparison of ground-based and satellite measurements is the difference in spatial representativeness, which for locations with inhomogeneous spatial distribution of pollutants may lead to significant differences between the two datasets. In order to investigate the spatial variability of tropospheric NO2 within a sub-satellite pixel, a campaign which was lasted for about six months was held at the greater area of Thessaloniki, Greece. Three DOAS/MAX-DOAS systems performed measurements of tropospheric NO2 columns at different sites representative of urban, sub-urban and rural conditions. The direct comparison of these ground-based measurements with corresponding OMI/Aura and GOME-2/MetOp-A and GOME2/MetOp-B products showed good agreement only over the rural area. GOME2A and GOME2B sensors show an average underestimation of tropospheric NO2 over the urban area of about 9.12 ± 7.33 × 1015 and 9.58 ± 8.21 × 1015 molecules cm−2, respectively. The mean difference between ground-based and OMI observations is significantly lower (6.03 ± 6.04 × 1015 molecules cm−2), mainly due to the higher spatial resolution of OMI. OMI data were adjusted using factors calculated by an air quality modelling tool, consisting of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale meteorological model and the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions (CAMx) multi-scale photochemical transport model. This approach resulted to significant improvement of the comparisons over the urban monitoring site. The average negative difference of OMI observations from Phaethon measurements was reduced to 1.15 ± 6.32 × 1015 molecules cm−2.
Increasing boreal wetland emissions inferred from reductions in atmospheric CH4 seasonal cycle
Authors: Barlow J. M. , Palmer P. I. , Bruhwiler L. M.
Published: September 2016

Abstract. Observed variations of the atmospheric greenhouse gas methane (CH4) over the past two decades remain the subject of debate. These variations reflect changes in emission, uptake, and atmospheric chemistry and transport. We isolate changes in the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CH4 using a wavelet transform. We report a previously undocumented persistent decrease in the peak-to-peak amplitude of the seasonal cycle of atmospheric CH4 at six out of seven high northern latitude sites over the past two to three decades. The observed amplitude changes are statistically significant for sites at Barrow, Alaska and Ocean Station M, Norway, which we find are the most sensitive of our sites to high northern latitude wetland emissions. We find using a series of numerical experiments using the TM5 atmospheric chemistry transport model that increasing wetland emissions and/or decreasing fossil fuel emissions can explain these observed changes, but no significant role for trends in meteorology and tropical wetlands. We also find no evidence in past studies to support a significant role for variations in the hydroxyl radical sink of atmospheric CH4. Using the TM5 model we find that changes in fossil fuel emissions of CH4, described by a conservative state-of-the-science bottom-up emission inventory, are not sufficient to reconcile observed changes in atmospheric CH4 at these sites. The remainder of the observed trend in amplitude, by process of elimination, must be due to an increase in high northern latitude wetland emissions, corresponding to an annual increase of at least 0.7 %/yr (equivalent to 5 Tg CH4/yr over 30 years).
The Impact of Historical Land Use Change From 1850 to 2000 on Particulate Matter and Ozone
Authors: Heald Colette L. , Geddes Jeffrey A.
Published: September 2016

Abstract. Anthropogenic land use change (LUC) since pre-industrial (1850) has altered the vegetation distribution and density around the world. We use a global model (GEOS-Chem) to assess the attendant changes in surface air quality and the direct radiative forcing (DRF). We focus our analysis on secondary particulate matter and tropospheric ozone formation. The general trend of expansion of managed ecosystems (croplands and pasturelands) at the expense of natural ecosystems has led to an 11 % decline in global mean biogenic volatile organic compound emissions. Concomitant growth in agricultural activity has more than doubled ammonia emissions and increased emissions of nitrogen oxides from soils by more than 50 %. Conversion to croplands has also led to a widespread increase in ozone dry deposition velocity. Together these changes in biosphere-atmosphere exchange have led to a 14 % global mean increase in biogenic secondary organic aerosol (BSOA) surface concentrations, a doubling of surface aerosol nitrate concentrations, and local changes in surface ozone of up to 8.5 ppb. We assess a global mean LUC-DRF of +0.017 Wm−2, −0.071 Wm−2, and −0.01 Wm−2 for BSOA, nitrate, and tropospheric ozone, respectively. We conclude that the DRF and the perturbations in surface air quality associated with LUC are substantial and should be considered alongside changes in anthropogenic emissions and climate feedbacks in chemistry-climate studies.
Sky camera geometric calibration using solar observations
Authors: Urquhart Bryan , Kurtz Ben , Kleissl Jan
Published: September 2016

Abstract. A camera model and associated automated calibration procedure for stationary daytime sky imaging cameras is presented. The specific modeling and calibration needs are motivated by remotely deployed cameras used to forecast solar power production where cameras point skyward and use 180° fisheye lenses. Sun position in the sky and on the image plane provides a simple and automated approach to calibration; special equipment or calibration patterns are not required. Sun position in the sky is modeled using a solar position algorithm (requiring latitude, longitude, altitude and time as inputs). Sun position on the image plane is detected using a simple image processing algorithm. The performance evaluation focuses on the calibration of a camera employing a fisheye lens with an equisolid angle projection, but the camera model is general enough to treat most fixed focal length, central, dioptric camera systems with a photo objective lens. Calibration errors scale with the noise level of the sun position measurement in the image plane, but the calibration is robust across a large range of noise in the sun position. Calibration performance on clear days ranged from 0.94 to 1.24 pixels root mean square error.
The potential uses of tracer cycles for groundwater dating in heterogeneous
aquifers
Authors: Farlin Julien , Małoszewski Piotr
Published: September 2016

Abstract. The use of the annual cycles of stable isotopes to estimate the parameters of transit time distribution functions has been recently criticised by Kirchner (2016). The author shows that the mean residence time of heterogeneous catchments calculated from the damping of the amplitude of the input signal are very often over-estimates, sometimes by large factors. We show here that the overestimation depends on the relative time scales of the cycle’s frequency and the mean transit time and that tracer cycles can still be used, at least for groundwater systems sustained by baseflow. Firstly it appears that an exponential model is a good approximation for the transit time distribution of a heterogeneous groundwatershed if the subgroundwatersheds’ transit time distributions are themselves exponential and their mean transit times are in the same range or slightly higher than the period of the tracer cycle. Secondly, we suggest that tracer cycles can still be used as secondary data to test whether the degree of heterogeneity of the subsurface is small enough to warrant approximating it by a homogeneous medium. Lastly, we develop a model predicting the amplitude of groundwater temperature from the annual air temperature cycle, and show that even though temperature is not a conservative tracer, it can be useful for groundwater dating. The potential use of the temperature cycle is illustrated in the case-study of a sandstone aquifer drained by contact springs.
Characterizing the spatiotemporal variability of groundwater levels
of alluvial aquifers in different settings using drought indices
Authors: Haas Johannes Christoph , Birk Steffen
Published: September 2016

Abstract. To improve the understanding how aquifers in different alluvial settings respond to extreme events in a changing environment, we analyze standardized time series of groundwater levels (Standardized Groundwater level Index – SGI), precipitation (Standardized Precipitation Index – SPI), and river stages of three subregions within the catchment of the river Mur (Austria). Using correlation matrices, differences and similarities between the subregions, ranging from the Alpine upstream part of the catchment to its shallow foreland basin, are identified and visualized. The river is generally found to be a dominant factor, frequently affecting not only the wells closest to the river, but also more distant parts of the alluvial aquifer. As a result, human impacts on the river are transferred to the aquifer, thus affecting the behavior of groundwater levels. Hence, to avoid misinterpretation of groundwater levels in this type of setting, it is important to account for the river and human impacts on it. While the river is a controlling factor in all of the subregions, an influence of precipitation is evident too. Except for deep wells found in an upstream Alpine basin, groundwater levels show the highest correlation with a precipitation accumulation period of six months (SPI6). The correlation in the foreland is generally higher than that in the Alpine subregions, thus corresponding to a trend from deeper wells in the Alpine parts of the catchment towards more shallow wells in the foreland. Extreme events are found to affect the aquifer in different ways. As shown with the well known European 2003 drought and the local 2009 floods, correlations are reduced under flood conditions, but increased under drought. Thus, precipitation, groundwater levels and river stages tend to exhibit uniform behavior under drought conditions, whereas they may show irregular behavior during flood. Splitting the time series into periods of 12 years reveals a tendency towards higher correlations in the most recent time period from 1999 to 2010. This time period also shows the highest number of events with SPI values below −2. The SGI values behave in a similar way only in the foreland aquifer, whereas the investigated Alpine aquifers exhibit a contrasting behavior with the highest number of low SGI events in the time before 1986. This is a result of overlying trends and suggests that the groundwater levels within these subregions are more strongly influenced by direct human impacts, e.g. on the river, than by changes in precipitation. Thus, direct human impacts must not be ignored when assessing climate change impacts on alluvial aquifers situated in populated valleys.
An approach for evaluating the role of protection measures in rock fall hazard zoning based on the Swiss experience
Authors: Prina Howald Erika , Abbruzzese Jacopo Maria , Grisanti Chiara
Published: September 2016

Abstract. Rock fall hazard zoning is essential for ensuring the safety of communities settled at the toe of potentially unstable slopes. Rock fall hazard zoning can be performed including the effect of protection measures, when land use restrictions might not be enough to mitigate hazards. The real effectiveness of the measures must be assessed to make sure they can play their role, especially in those cases when measures might have been installed at a given site since years. This article focuses on how to evaluate the effectiveness of rock fall protection measures and how hazard zoning can be influenced by their correct operation. The approach presented is divided into four main stages, which include a two-step procedure to evaluate the effectiveness of both existing and new protections. It is based on quite a comprehensive rock fall protection database built for the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland, and on the Swiss Federal Guidelines for hazard zoning; however, all the methodological framework proposed and related considerations could be in principle extended to any other regional or national contexts in which a combination of intensity and frequency is used to assess rock fall hazards.
Integration between X-Band Radar and Buoy Sea State Monitoring
Authors: Ludeno Giovanni , Reale Ferdinando , Raffa Francesco , Dentale Fabio , Soldovieri Francesco , Pugliese Carratelli Eugenio , Serafino Francesco
Published: September 2016

Abstract. The paper presents the results of an integrated buoy and X-Band radar sea state monitoring activity carried out on the southern coast of Sicily. The work involved the integration of buoy and radar data, as well as the simultaneous acquisition of Significant Wave Height (SWH) values from two similar radar sets located at a slight distance from each other – a rare and fortunate circumstance which took place during two storms in the winter 2014–2015. Good consistency and repeatability was reached between the two radars and the reliability of X-Band radar as a wave monitoring system was confirmed by the comparison with the buoy wave meter. A further and important result of the work is the knowledge gained on the short spatial and temporal fluctuations of the sea state: while such Small Scale Storm Variations (SSSV) cannot be easily discriminated from electromagnetic effects and from algorithm artefacts, some important progress has been done towards the identification of this phenomenon. Integration of different sensors is the key to a definite improvement of sea state monitoring for most coastal applications.
Satellite Microwave Assessment of Northern Hemisphere Lake Ice Phenology from 2002 to 2015
Authors: Du Jinyang , Kimball John S. , Duguay Claude , Kim Youngwook , Watts Jennifer D.
Published: September 2016

Abstract. Abstract. A new automated method for satellite assessment of seasonal lake ice phenology at 5-km resolution was developed for all lake pixels (water coverage ≥ 90 %) in the Northern Hemisphere using 36.5 GHz, H-polarized brightness temperature (Tb) observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E/2) sensors. The lake phenology metrics include seasonal timing and duration of annual ice cover. A Moving t-Test (MTT) algorithm allows for automated lake ice retrievals with daily temporal fidelity and 5-km resolution gridding. The resulting ice phenology record shows strong agreement with available ground-based observations from the Global Lake and River Ice Phenology Database (95.4 % temporal agreement), and favourable correlations (R) with alternative ice phenology records from the Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (R = 0.84 for water clear of ice [WCI] dates; R = 0.41 for complete freeze over [CFO] dates) and Canadian Ice Service (R = 0.86 for WCI dates; R = 0.69 for CFO dates). Analysis of the resulting 12-year (2002-2015) AMSR ice record indicates increasingly shorter ice-cover duration for 43 out of 71 (60.6 %) Northern Hemisphere lakes examined, with significant (p < 0.05) regional trends toward earlier ice melting for only five lakes. Higher latitude lakes reveal more widespread and larger trends toward shorter ice cover duration than lower latitude lakes, consistent with enhanced polar warming. This study documents a new satellite-based approach for rapid assessment and regional monitoring of seasonal ice cover changes over large lakes, with resulting accuracy suitable for global change studies.
Blind test comparison of the performance and wake flow between two in-line wind turbines exposed to different atmospheric inflow conditions
Authors: Bartl Jan , Sætran Lars
Published: September 2016

Abstract. This is a summary of the results of the fourth Blind test workshop which was held in Trondheim in October 2015. Herein, computational predictions on the performance of two in-line model wind turbines as well as the mean and turbulent wake flow are compared to experimental data measured at NTNU's wind tunnel. A detailed description of the model geometry, the wind tunnel boundary conditions and the test case specifications was published before the workshop. Expert groups within Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) were invited to submit predictions on wind turbine performance and wake flow without knowing the experimental results at the outset. The focus of this blind test comparison is to examine the model turbines' performance and wake development up until 9 rotor diameters downstream at three different atmospheric inflow conditions. Besides a spatially uniform inflow field of very low turbulence intensity (TI = 0.23 %) as well as high turbulence intensity (TI = 10.0 %), the turbines are exposed to a grid-generated atmospheric shear flow (TI = 10.1 %). Five different research groups contributed with their predictions using a variety of simulation models, ranging from fully resolved Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) models to Large Eddy Simulations (LES). For the three inlet conditions the power and the thrust force of the upstream turbine is predicted fairly well by most models, while the predictions of the downstream turbine's performance show a significantly higher scatter. Comparing the mean velocity profiles in the wake, most models approximate the mean velocity deficit level sufficiently well. However, larger variations between the models for higher downstream positions are observed. The prediction of the turbulence kinetic energy in the wake is observed to be very challenging. Both the LES model and the IDDES (Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation) model, however, are consistently managing to provide fairly accurate predictions of the wake turbulence.

Aspectos formales en la SPS televisiva para niños: un estudio descriptivo
Authors: Tamayo Ana
Published: September 2016

La comprensión de un subtítulo va más allá de entender el significado de las palabras que lo componen. Los aspectos formales en la subtitulación para personas sordas (SPS) pueden tener una relevancia crucial en el esfuerzo cognitivo necesario para procesar el subtítulo dentro de su contexto audiovisual (Perego 2008). El presente artículo estudia las prácticas habituales que marcan los aspectos formales de la SPS para niños en tres parámetros: el formato y la posición del subtítulo, las convenciones ortotipográficas y los recursos para la identificación de los personajes en las tres cadenas de televisión españolas dedicadas a la audiencia más joven. Este estudio se lleva a cabo mediante el análisis y evaluación de estos tres parámetros en comparación con la vigente norma UNE 153010 (AENOR 2012) y con la revisión teórica de estudios previos.
Propuesta de equivalencias de binomios en la traducción jurídica inglés-español
Authors: Andrades Arsenio
Published: September 2016

Las unidades fraseológicas son estructuras complejas que por su carácter idiomático pueden plantear dificultades de comprensión y de trasvase a otras lenguas. El traductor de textos jurídicos anglosajones se encuentra a menudo con unas estructuras fraseológicas particulares –los binomios– que caracterizan este tipo de discurso especializado. Basándose en un corpus comparable bilingüe inglés-español compuesto por contratos y formularios jurídicos, el presente estudio identifica la presencia de estas expresiones fraseológicas y extrae los ejemplos más frecuentes en inglés y en español. El análisis contrastivo de los datos obtenidos a partir del corpus permite establecer una serie de correspondencias entre los binomios de ambas lenguas y proponer una tipología de equivalencias aplicada a estas estructuras fraseológicas.

Este artículo narra una experiencia didáctica vivida en el aula de Traducción 3 C Francés del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad de Granada, que se desarrolla a partir de actividades de pre-traducción, relacionadas con la fase de análisis-comprensión del proceso traductor, es decir, que la traducción en sí no constituye la finalidad de la asignatura, sino que se trata de hacer hincapié en tareas previas que, debido a la falta de tiempo, son demasiadas veces pasadas por alto en las distintas asignaturas de traducción. En el centro del estudio se encuentran las referencias culturales. Se analizan en tres fuentes: la versión traducida al español de un artículo científico redactado inicialmente en inglés; la adaptación libre a obra teatral de la versión traducida; la traducción al francés de la obra teatral.

A DUPLA IMPLICAÇÃO DA EPOCHÉ E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O MUNDO NA FENOMENOLOGIA DE HUSSERL
Authors: Tourinho Carlos Cortes
Published: September 2016

O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar a relação entre a epoché fenomenológica e o problema fenomenológico da relação entre a consciência e o mundo. Inicialmente, o artigo examina a primeira implicação do exercício da epoché: a ideia da "perda do mundo." Em seguida, examina a segunda implicação deste exercício: a ideia da "recuperação do mundo" na consciência transcendental. Finalmente, o artigo esclarece a especificidade do idealismo fenomenológico de Husserl O exercício generalizado da epoché não implica em uma negação da existência do mundo. A tarefa deste idealismo é elucidar fenomenologicamente o sentido deste mundo que se forma intencionalmente na subjetividade transcendental.
O SENTIDO DO IDEALISMO DE HUSSERL
Authors: Morujão Carlos
Published: September 2016

O presente ensaio propõe-se explicitar o sentido do idealismo de Husserl entre as Ideias I (de 1913) e as Meditações Cartesianas (de 1931). A primeira formulação do idealismo, na obra de 1913, apresenta-o como o resultado da distinção entre a consciência e o mundo, baseada na diferença entre os respectivos modos de doação: a primeira dando-se absolutamente e sem perspectivas ou adumbramentos, o segundo dando-se como pólo de identidade numa multiplicidade de adumbramentos. A insuficiência desta formulação para fundar uma tese idealista evidencia-se no facto de Husserl ter, de imediato, acrescentado uma outra: a saber, a distinção entre o modo de ser absoluto da consciência (nulla res indiget ad existendum) e o modo de ser contingente e intencional do mundo. Porém, o sentido final destas duas distinções será apenas esclerecido nas Meditações Cartesianas. Nesta obra, Husserl caracteriza o seu idealismo - distinguindo-o do idealismo psicológico de Berkeley e do idealismo de Kant - como uma auto-explicitação consequente do Ego enquanto sujeito de todo o conhecimento possível. Como corolário deste definição «mundo que efectivamente é» apenas poderá significar «mundo constituído na consciência».
É O IDEALISMO DE HUSSERL COMPATÍVEL COM UM IDEALISMO METAFÍSICO?
Authors: Alves Pedro Santos
Published: September 2016

Neste artigo, argumento que o idealismo transcendental da fenomenologia de Husserl é compatível com um realismo metafísico. Não só desenvolvo um argumento acerca da tese da consistência entre as duas posições filosóficas, mas defendo também que essa a posição própria de Husserl. Consequentemente, apoio a minha interpretação numa hermenêutica de alguns dos textos mais importantes do próprio Husserl, onde ele discute directamente a questão.
ASPECTOS METAFÍSICOS DO IDEALISMO EM HUSSERL
Authors: Korelc Martina
Published: September 2016

No presente texto argumento que, na medida em que implica uma compreensão do ser, há um aspecto metafísico no idealismo de Husserl; apresento como Husserl pensa a relação entre o ser e o pensamento, e o sentido do ser que resulta disso, tanto para a consciência que é considerada a esfera origináriado ser, como para o ser dos entes mundanos, cujo sentido é constituído pela vida da consciência. É apenas o idealismo transcendental que, para Husserl, elucida o sentido originário do ser, tanto em função das exigências epistemológicas, como também em função das exigências práticas. No fim apresento o sentido do ser como ato de ser, proveniente da tradição metafísica aristotélico-tomista, como uma possibilidade de pensar para além do idealismo de Husserl.

Authors: Darkwa Irene , Nduro Kwabena
Published: September 2016

Over the last decade the concept of entrepreneurship has emerged as one of the tools for development, wealth creation and economic growth. It has gradually taken its place in academia, and fast becoming a way of reducing the unemployment situation bedevilling developing countries. The current paper examined the study of entrepreneurship and its influence on the start-up businesses among students at Takoradi Polytechnic. The study employed the quantitative and qualitative methods to execute the study. The results of the study revealed that Polytechnic students have a high potential of becoming their own bosses after graduation, have knowledge of supporting institutions that exist in helping new and existing entrepreneurs, but were not aware of the assistance they offer such target groups. The study discovered a high relationship between entrepreneurship and education; students were enthused about investing in less capital intensive ventures, and also reckoned that lack of funding was not tolerated at starting–up.
Applicability of Japanese Management and Production System in Africa: Using “Hybrid Evaluation Model” in Comparison with Other Developing Regions
Authors: Juhn Wooseok , Abo Tetsuo
Published: September 2016

The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the overall features of the Japanese management and production systems transferred into the industries in Africa, in order to examine its possibility of contribution to economic development in Africa. The most remarkable finding is that the African culture and social environment would be more or less compatible to Japanese style HRM. “Worksite–oriented” Japanese style management has been realized in various work practices not only at the local plants of Japanese firms but also of African firms under some institutional restrictions, i.e. strong labor unions and European type rigid social frameworks. For Japanese companies that are thinking of the investment in Africa, we could clarify the environment of Africa might be familiar to the Japanese management and production systems. Simultaneously, for the governments of the countries in Africa, this paper suggests that the JMPS could be one of the effective methods to develop the economy of their countries. This is the first time research approach to the transferability of the Japanese management and production systems based on the field research in Africa.

Characterization of Chyulu Hills Watershed Ecosystem Services in South-Eastern Kenya
Authors: Kiringe John Warui , Mwaura Francis , Warinwa Fiesta
Published: September 2016

Water is an important good provided by watersheds and is critical in sustaining life and socio-economic development. This study evaluated water provision in the Chyulu Hills watershed which is one of the important dry land water catchments in Kenya. Surface water discharge was mainly through rivers and springs with the latter being more prevalent than the former while ground water provision was primarily through boreholes and shallow wells. Springs discharged the highest water volume annually estimated at 128.14million m3 or 85.14% of all the water discharged in the watershed, with shallow wells and boreholes discharging the least water. For all the springs found in the watershed, Mzima springs discharged the highest water volume estimated at nearly 113.15 million m3 annually or 88.30% of the water produced by all the springs; and about 75.19% of the water in the entire watershed. Rivers which were active had a total water discharge of about 20.66million m3 per year, with Kibwezi River discharging 17.59 million m3 annually or 85.14% of all the water from rivers. Shallow wells were mainly prevalent at Nthongoni and the Makindu, and their annual water discharge was about 16.96million m3 per year with boreholes contributing 98.87% (approximately 16.76 million m3/yr.) of the ground water, and the rest (19,169.92m3/yr.) being contributed by shallow wells. The total amount of water discharged in the watershed by the combined water source types was about 150.49 million m3/yr.
