Comparing the long term clogging pattern of permeable pavements for stormwater treatment and reuse (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Tota-Maharaj, K., & Monrose, J. (2020, February). Comparing the long term clogging pattern of permeable pavements for stormwater treatment and reuse. Paper presented at 2nd Polish IWA Young Water Professionals Conference “Emerging Technologies in Water and Wastewater Sector”, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland

Permeable pavements are engineered to temporarily store water to reduce flooding during rainfall events. Permeable pavements are distinguished primarily based on their surface materials which can vary from concrete, asphalt, plastic or stones. This p...

Feasibility of decentralised Sustainable Refugee Camp Drainage System (SRCDS) (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Tota-Maharaj, K., Ajibade, O. O., Hills, C., & Macleod, C. (2020, February). Feasibility of decentralised Sustainable Refugee Camp Drainage System (SRCDS). Paper presented at 2nd Polish IWA Young Water Professionals Conference “Emerging Technologies in Water and Wastewater Sector”, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland

In this research, a new decentralised drainage system, Sustainable Refugee Camp Drainage System (SRCDS), is developed for effective management of storm water and greywater in Dadaab refugee camp, Kenya. The SRCDS uses the principle of Best Management... Read More about Feasibility of decentralised Sustainable Refugee Camp Drainage System (SRCDS).

Environmental technologies for remediation of contaminated lands in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria: Opportunities for ecosystem services to host communities (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Tota-Maharaj, K., & Ngene, S. (2019, May). Environmental technologies for remediation of contaminated lands in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria: Opportunities for ecosystem services to host communities. Paper presented at Environmental Design and Management International Conference (EDMIC 2019): Drivers and Dynamics of Change in the Built Environment, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria

Several remediation technologies have been tried in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria to address the persistent hydrocarbon contamination with little or no success as they are either inappropriate for the environment and thus complete remediation is...

Parametric stress distribution in 3D printed polymer quadric-surfaced sludge digesters (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Ramroop, N., Tota-Maharaj, K., & Anoyatis, G. (2018, June). Parametric stress distribution in 3D printed polymer quadric-surfaced sludge digesters. Paper presented at 5th International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) Europe Congress-New Challenges in Hydraulic Research and Engineering, University of Trento, Italy

The stresses developed in the shell of the quadric surfaced sludge digester, vary according to the height-to-diameter ratio. The optimum dimensions of a 3D printed polymer digester due to hydrostatic loading is evaluated through finite element analys...

Evaluation of engineered wetlands and filter drains as Low Impact Development (LID) technologies for stormwater management in refugee camps (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Tota-Maharaj, K., & Ajibade, O. (2018, June). Evaluation of engineered wetlands and filter drains as Low Impact Development (LID) technologies for stormwater management in refugee camps. Paper presented at 5th IAHR Europe Congress- New Challenges in Hydraulic Research and Engineering, University of Trento, Italy

Refugee and internally displaced persons camps face annual flooding problems related to hydrological problems such as localised ponding of surface water and flooding events followed by periods of droughts. This research project comprises of four set...

Hydrologic performance of permeable pavement systems utilising various sub-base materials for Caribbean applications (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Monrose, J., & Tota-Maharaj, K. (2017, September). Hydrologic performance of permeable pavement systems utilising various sub-base materials for Caribbean applications. Paper presented at 14th IWA/IAHR International Conference on Urban Drainage, Prague, Czech Republic

This paper examined the hydrological performance of three 0.19m2 laboratory-scale permeable pavement rigs with varying sub-base aggregates of basalt, limestone and recycled concrete aggregates. Observed flows from different underdrain offsets were co... Read More about Hydrologic performance of permeable pavement systems utilising various sub-base materials for Caribbean applications.

Log logistic distribution to model water demand data
Presentation / Conference
Surendran, S., & Tota-Maharaj, K. Log logistic distribution to model water demand data. Paper presented at Procedia Engineering, Leicester, UK

© 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. There had been insufficient studies previously to conclude the suitability of the appropriate probability distribution functions in modelling water demand. The purpose of this study is to find an appropr... Read More about Log logistic distribution to model water demand data.
