Socio-economic characterization of Gumara-Maksegnit watershed
Watershed degradation in Ethiopia has been intensified by a combination of factors such as improper agricultural practices on steep slopes, indiscriminate cutting of trees for fuel and construction and illegal/improper ...
Linking Selected Soil Properties to Land Use and Hillslope – A Watershed Case Study in the Ethiopian Highlands
Deforestation of native forests for crop production in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, located in the Lake
Tana basin, Ethiopia, dramatically increases the vulnerability of the soil for rainfall driven erosion. Hence, the ...
Performance of frequently used interpolation methods to predict spatial distribution of selected soil properties in an agricultural watershed in Ethiopia
Soil maps of an agricultural watershed provide a wealth of knowledge and can be
a vital tool for implementing site specific soil managements. Hence, watershed based soil
assessment was conducted to select an optimum ...
Response of tef row planting to sowing dates on the highland heavy clay soils: Reducing Land Degradation and Farmers’ Vulnerability to Climate Change in the Highland Dry Areas of North-Western Ethiopia
Teff, Eragrostis tef /zucc./ Trotter is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia that occupies (32%), the largest cultivated area under cereals and 26% of the whole area cultivated to annual field crops by covering ...
Application of soil erosion models in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed
This presentation shows the the use of different Soil erosion models in a watershed in Northern Ethiopia
Determination of Weeding Frequency to Increase Production and Productivity of Sorghum
Sorghum (sorghum bicolor) is primarily a rain fed crop with low input management.
Sorghum production has so many constraints, insect pest, disease and weed infestation
are the most known among of them. Farmers in Ethiopia ...
Intensification strategies for Ethiopian Watershed: Incentives, Niches and Policy Implication

Assessment of land degradation processes in the northwestern Ethiopian Highlands
Soil erosion in the northwestern Amhara region, Ethiopia has been a subject of anxiety,
resulting in a major environmental threat to the sustainability and productive capacity of
agricultural areas. In the present thesis, ...
Modeling streamflow and sediment using SWAT in Ethiopian Highlands
The coincidence of intensive rainfall events at the beginning of the rainy season and unprotected soil conditions after extreme dry spells expose the Ethiopian Highlands to severe soil erosion. Soil and water conservation ...
