Water and Energy Management in Bamba Children’s home (Kenya)
In this final degree project a study on the water and energy availability and management in Kabarnet town in Kenya is going to be performed. In order to do so, statistical, mathematical and in general, engineering methods are going to be used in order to examine the feasibility of covering totally or partially basic needs of their population. Furthermore, several approaches will be made on the matter, taking into account rain data from 1985 until 2017, electricity coverage, waste water management. Starting from the rain data, and using matlab, a tool will be developed. Based on Monte Carlo statistical method, its role will be to randomize the amount of rain water for future years taking into account previous years data with Euler Maruyama integration. This tool will have several practical uses, limits are in the reader’s imagination. An example is: sustainable water and energy consumption policy that, according with the developed code will assure their needs to be covered in a certain range of time with an specified percentage of probability. Another example would be, in the agricultural sector, obtaining the optimum time of the year for growing certain types of vegetables, cereals. as Kenya’s economy is mainly based on agricultural products. Moreover, important issues as social, political and economical frameworks will be considered. Finally, budget and financing for the project will be proposed and studied. The main goal of this project is to become real at some stage in the next two of years. Therefore feasibility is a key point which means being realistic with the available resources regarding financing, labour costs, materials. The mathematical tool developed can be used for any other country or region in order to predict amounts of rain and calculate water storage levels depending on expenses. Although, for this case, consumption is particularized for the case of Bamba Childen’s Home, which is an Orphanage in the city. As a first stage, the project was going to analyze and introduce solutions to this problem on ...
