Evaluation Of Water Levevaluation Of Water Levels In Relation To The Design Of Coastal Structures In Tanzaniaels In Relation To The Design Of Coastal Structures In Tanzania, Alfonse Dubi
Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)
Water levels on the coastline of Tanzania vary under the influence of meteorological conditions (winds and barometric pressure) and the East African Coastal Current, whose strength varies with the monsoon winds. Available tidal information is not enough to warrant statistical analysis for evaluating extreme water levels. The highest mean water springs occur at Bagamoyo and Pangani (3.93 m) and the lowest are found at Lindi (2.96 m). The highest astronomical tide is 3.7 m for Dar es Salaam and 4.6 m for Zanzibar, both of which occur during March/April and November. Measured highest water levels approach 4.80 m for Dar …
Impact Of Land Use Change On Hydroelectric Power Generation In Cameron Highlands, Fook Kun Choy
Impact Of Land Use Change On Hydroelectric Power Generation In Cameron Highlands, Fook Kun Choy
Student Works (2000-2009)
This study assesses the impact of land use changes on annual energy production of the hydro stations of Cameron Highlands Hydroelectric Scheme. Land use affects sediment load and streamflow of Sungai Telom and Sungai Bertam, which influences power generation and energy production of the several hydro stations in Cameron Highlands. Data of rainfall, streamflow, suspended sediment load, land use and energy output for the period 1964 to 1998 were collected, processed and analysed. Regression analysis, double mass curve method and double ratio technique were used in the assessment. The suspended sediment load and annual runoff of Sungai Telom and Sungai …
