  • Hydraulic Practice in Hydrology
    River Conveyance Analysis in a Data Sparse and a Data Rich Region: Case Studies in Kenya and Switzerland Master’s Thesis Faculty of Science University of Bern presented by Danielle Huser 2016 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Rolf Weingartner Institute of Geography and Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research Co-Supervisor: Dr. Andreas Zischg Institute of Geography and Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research Advisor: Dr. Hanspeter Liniger Institute of Geography i Abstract This master thesis addresses two cases studies with rather different initial condition. First, it aims to establish stage discharge relations in data-sparse regions in the lower Ewaso Ng’rio Basin in Kenya, and secondly, it proceeds to a weak point analysis along the main rivers of the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. Regardless of their geographical distance, for both re- gions with their respective issues a hydrodynamic 1D simulations were conducted with the software Basement, providing simulations of river flow based on measured cross sections. In arid regions water scarcity is becoming a threat to more and more people. The Ewaso Ng’rio Basin (64 000 km2), located around the Mount Kenya is subjected to increasing pres- sure on water resources because of rising demands for irrigation, domestic purposes, and livestock in the upper basin. In the lower basin, users suffer from even more pronounced water scarcity, because they have secondary access to the rivers. Research on hydrological processes is limited since gauging stations (RGS) were missing up to this study. In order to overcome that limitation, this study aims to establish stage-discharge relations for four sites in the lower Ewaso Ng’iro Basin by relying on newly installed RGS providing water level data.
