The inefficient water use, and variable and low productivity in Kenyan public irrigation schemes is a major concern. It is, therefore, necessary to periodically monitor and evaluate the performance of public irrigation schemes. This prompted evaluation of performance of three rice growing irrigation schemes in western Kenya using benchmarking and p...

The latest progress in the technology has led to automation and digitization in almost every fields, and has influenced a wide scope of application. This has caused enormous amount of data flow from each sectors, where the information contained in the data acts as the important component for the progress of the single person, organization, state, country and so on. These data with valuable information can be used in the constructive and the destructive perceptive based on the hands that handle it. So protective measures become very essential for preserving the data from unwanted access. This paves for developing a system to identify the suspicious movement in the volatile areas like military regimes, hospitals and financial organizations to safe the data. The method put forward in the paper incorporates the motion sensors and the face identification system to detect the suspicious activities and report to the lawful person. The algorithm for the system was developed using the python and tested for various sets of exemplary real time video recordings to know the accuracy in the detection.
Water flow and sedimentation processes have been significantly erratic at the Chókwè Irrigation Scheme (CIS) and have affected its hydraulic performance. Given its expansion there is need to understand these processes taking place on-site and along the channels of the scheme. CIS being the biggest project of its kind in Mozambique requires proper management of water flow and sedimentation processes. Therefore, the effect of water flow, sediment transport and deposition parameters on the performance of the CIS is needed. In order to determine the effect of spatial and temporal water flow and sediment distribution trends along the irrigation canals, there is need to establish a correlation between these parameters. Determining the influence of water flow velocity on sediment settling rate at different depths along the canal reaches is important in managing the CIS. In addition, a developed decision-support tool to predict sediment deposition is required. For this reason, it is therefore crucial to carry out a timely assessment of water flow and sedimentation processes in CIS in a review concept. From the current review, some gaps that exist for more focused research on Chókwè Irrigation Scheme have been identified. In this regard therefore, there is need to develop an effective support tool for managing water flow and sediment deposition along the canal reaches with a view to increasing crop production in CIS.
