Water from dry riverbeds: How riverbeds can be turned into water sourcesby hand-dug wells and sand dams
Water from dry riverbeds as a hands on manual provides the requisite insights and information on how surface runoff that is released into seasonal rivers as flash floods can be harnessed and abstracted through appropriate technologies such as hand dug wells, weirs and sand storage dams (sand and subsurface dams). This hands-on handbook begins with a historical perspective/background information on sandy riverbeds as reservoirs of good quality water and then goes on to look into the survey and design considerations required before constructing hand dug wells, weirs and sand storage dams (sand and subsurface dams). This manual has also addressed the concern over when to develop these water sources by giving the suitable seasons for surveys and construction works. The latter information is important because experiences from emergency relief operations in the arid lands of Kenya (i.e. Turkana) have showed that the construction of sand storage dams in times of drought cannot provide the badly needed water to water deficit areas. Instead, these dams should be developed with a view to being recharged during the rainy season and utilized in subsequent dry spells.

Some medicinal trees and shrubs of eastern Africa for sustainable utilisation and commercialisation
The book 'Some Medicinal Trees and Shrubs of Eastern Africa for Sustainable Utilisation and Commercialisation' is a fulfilment of one of the major recommendations adopted by the East and Central Africa Regional Agricultural Forum for Training Team (ECA-RAFT) Workshop and General meeting held in Kigali, Rwanda, during the period 24th 281h May 2004. The ECA RAFT, an ICRAF supported initiative, is a regional network of public Universities and Colleges, dedicated to the enhancement of training in Agroforestry and integrated natural resources management in tertiary institutions. The general assembly of ECARAFT, while reviewing the status of Agroforestry and natural resources educational materials available in universities and tertiary institutions in the region, concluded that there was an urgent need to enhance and mobilise the teaching capacity of educators and educational institutions in Agroforestry and integrated natural resources management. Hence, the adoption of the recommendation: andldquoto develop a new manuscript on medicinal trees and shrubsandrdquoas one key regional priority activity in pursuit of this objective. Consequently and within the constraints of the available resources, a regional team drawn from four universities namely, Makerere University, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), Kenyatta University (KU) and coordinated by Maseno University (MSU) was constituted to undertake the task that has culminated in the publication of this book.

The ESRI Guide to GIS analysis, Volume 2: Spartial measurements and statistics
In The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics, Mitchell (the author) takes users deeper, showing how an emerging set of tools that rely on spatial statistics provides GIS users the capability to conduct detailed, mathematical analysis of geographic information, This second volume introduces statistical tools, geared specifically for geographic analysis, that are relatively new to GIS software packages and thus to most GIS users. It shows the tools in use in many different applications, explains which tools are best with which situations, and provides guidance on interpreting the results you get. The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics focuses on four fundamental tasks of statistical analysis. These are: calculating the center, dispersion, and trend, Identifying patterns, Identifying clusters and Analyzing geographic relationships.

Inception Report of the Integrated Water Resource Management Plan
The present project is a further development of an initial intervention by GAA in the Dur-Dur Valley. This second phase seeks to contribute to the stabilisation and improvement of rural livelihoods in Awadal region based on the sustainable use of natural resources. The project area covers the entire Dur-Dur watershed, which is situated within the Districts of Borama, Baki and Lughaya. The project is designed to enable communities in the watershed to manage natural resources and farming systems increasingly in a sustainable, efficient and equitable manner. A major investment of the project is to develop an Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP) in close collaboration with land-users and administrative bodies.
