Analyzing the spatial and temporal variability of soil moisture content in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021)Soil moisture content is a crucial hydro meteorological parameter in the hydrological processes such as evaporation, evapotranspiration, rate of runoff. Its observation can be used to monitor drought occurrence, flooding, ... -
Estimation of soil moisture using Sentinel -1 and Sentinel -2 satellite data
(Makerere University, 2019-05)Soil moisture is one of the important parameters in meteorology, hydrology as well as agricultural, which also affect the operation of the mechanism such as global water cycle and plant evapotranspiration. Changes in soil ... -
Evaluation of the performance of the water cloud model and the modified water cloud model in estimating soil moisture.
(Makerere University, 2021-12-23)Periodic droughts and reliance on rain-fed agriculture in Uganda have limited the crop yield obtained in the country. Irrigation farming as a straightforward measure has been adopted by the government through rehabilitation ... -
Soil moisture monitoring technology for smart irrigation systems in Uganda.
(Makerere university, 2024)This research project deals with end nodes of a smart irrigation system. At the end nodes, data about soil status is obtained and sent to the central severs for processing before commands are sent to the smart valves to ...
