Assessments on the impact of stone bunds on water erosion in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Northern Ethiopia
Soil erosion due to heavy rain events during the rainy season from June to September is a
big threat to the Ethiopian highlands. About 85 % of the total population of Ethiopia, live from
agriculture and therefore sound ...
Spatial and Temporal impacts of stone bunds on soil physical properties: a case study in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands
Central issue of rain fed agriculture systems in the Ethiopian highlands is to store rain
water in the soil during the rainy season. The aim is to maximize plant available water and
to reduce surface runoff and soil ...
Monitoring and simulation of soil erosion in the Ethiopian Highlands on a plot scale
Soil erosion is the main driving force for global land degradation. Soil erosion measurements
are an important tool to assess soil loss under site-specific conditions and evaluate the impact
of changes in land use on its ...
Impact of rangeland rehabilitation strategies on drought resilience in Jordan
Degradation of the Jordanian rangelands jeopardizes the food security and sustainable
development of the country. In response, organizations have implemented micro-water
harvesting, controlled grazing and protection ...
Evaluation de la biodisponibilité du silicium dans les sols marocains soumis à la culture de blé tendre en bour
Many studies show that silicon is a beneficial element for the growth of plants, especially cereals,
despite its non-essential element status. Hence, the reserve of bioavailable silicon in the soil can be
a limiting factor ...
The Suitability of the Vallerani System: A case study of the Jordan Badia
The Al Majeddyeh watershed is located in the Jordan Badia and is severely degraded area, because of
overgrazing and conventional ploughing. In small portions, land is rehabilitated through the
implementation of Sustainable ...
Runoff and Sediment Monitoring in an Agricultural Watershed in the Ethiopian Highlands
This master thesis was conducted in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, which covers an
area of 54 km² and is located in the Lake Tana basin in the North West Amhara region,
Ethiopia. This region is affected by severe land ...
Application of Water Accounting System (WAS) and WEAP21 Program For Rationalization of Water Resources Utilization in The Upper and Midmost Orontes Basins - Syria
Homs governorate watershed is considered as the agricultural production hub and a
strategic water reservoir of Syria. However, freshwater used unsustainably in the upper
and midmost Orontes basin (from Syrian- Lebanese ...
Impact Evaluation of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Options to Contribute to Land Degradation Neutrality in Rmel Catchment in Northeastern Tunisia
Soil erosion is a natural process causing serious land degradation problems. In Tunisia, soil
erosion represents a serious environmental problem. The Rmel watershed located in the
Governorate of Zaghouan in north-eastern ...
Oberflächenabflussbestimmung mittels photogrammetrischer Bildauswertung
This bachelor thesis " Surface runoff determination by means of photogrammetric image analysis" was conducted in the Gumara-Maksegit drainage area in the highland dry areas
of north-western Ethiopia, which covers around ...
