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 ...
Assessment of gully erosion using conventional field measurements: A case study from northern Ethiopia
In Ethiopia, one of the poorest countries
in the world, soil erosion by water
contributes significantly to food insecurity
of rural households and represents
a real threat to sustainability of the existing
subsistence ...
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 ...
Assessment of forest cover change and its environmental imacts using multi-temporal and multi-spectral satellite images
Ethiopia has a large number of species of flora and fauna in general and forest resources in particular with a significant rate of endemism. Ethiopian forest cover once was 40 per cent of the country’s land area. Reduction ...
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 ...
Investigation of the impact of stone bunds on erosion and deposition processes combining conventional and tracer methodology in the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, northern highlands of Ethiopia
Different soil and water conservation methods intend to prevent ongoing land degradation,
which is triggered by rainfall driven soil erosion in the Ethiopian agricultural lands. A
commonly used technique is the construction ...
Monitoring surface run-off and soil erosion processes
Within the ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ (UNPRA) project, the University of Natural
Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria (BOKU) research focuses ...
Predicting soil attributes for environmental modelling
The UNPRA–Ethiopia project ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ aims to improve the livelihoods of rural communities in the rainfed agro-ecosystem of the Amhara region ...
Assessment of Gully erosion by linking photogrammetric appraches and field measurements
Erosion processes thesis
Evaluation of the Impact of Stone Bunds on Soil Loss and Surface Runoff in the Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, Northern Highlands of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is highly affected by land degradation and one of the key problems is soil erosion.
It is mainly caused by the rapid population increase, deforestation, low vegetation cover
and unbalanced livestock and crop ...
