Parameterization of the Effect of Bench Terraces on Runoff and Sediment Yield by Swat Modelling in a Small Semi-Arid Watershed in Northern Tunisia
In Tunisia, Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions are among the most practicable strategies to prevent and mitigate rainwater losses through surface runoff and consequential erosion of fertile soils. In this ...
Soil and water conservation effects of stone bunds at different scales – a case study from Gumara-Maksegnit watershed, Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
Various soil and water conservation (SWC) interventions across the Ethiopian farmlands are supposed to prevent ongoing land degradation and soil depletion related to rainfall driven soil erosion.
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 ...
Assessing the impact of soil and water conservation structures in the Ethiopian highlands. A case study from the Lake Tana Basin.
Without well planned adaptation efforts climate change is predicted to affect the agricultural
sector in Eastern Africa and to ultimately reduce agricultural yields and hamper efforts to achieve
food security and reduce ...
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 ...
Impact of vetch cover crop on runoff, soil loss, soil chemical properties and yield of chickpea in North Gondar
Cover crops improve the sustainability and quality of both natural system and agro ecosystem. In GumaraMaksegnit
watershed which is located in Lake Tana basin, farmers usually use fallow during the rainy season for
the ...
Assessment of SWC intervention impacts at the watershed scale: Case study of Rmel watershed in central Tunisia. In B. Elleuch, 2nd International Conference on Integrated Environmental Management for Sustainable Development. Book of Proceedings. 251-265.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the large scale impacts of the bench terrace SWC technique
widely applied in central and northern Tunisia using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool). The model was set up for the ...
Climate Change Scenario Modeling using Soil and Water Assessment Tool. Training report
The workshop ‘Climate Change Scenario Modeling using Soil and Water Assessment Tool’ was held
from 5th to 7th of May 2015 at Icarda office in Amman, Jordan, as part of the activities carried out
by the CGIAR Research Program ...
Improving Sorghum Productivity in Waterlogged Vertisols in North Gondar, Ethiopia.
Sorghum is a major crop in Vertisols of the North Gondar zone in Ethiopia. Due to
waterlogging on these Vertisols, the crop may stay in the field for more than seven months and
productivity is extremely low. Sorghum ...
Impact of Vetch Cover Crop on Runoff, Soil Loss, Soil Chemical Properties and Yield of Chickpea in North Gondar, Ethiopia. Purdue 2016.
Cover crops improve the sustainability and quality of both natural systems and agro
ecosystems. In the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed which is located in the Lake Tana basin of
Ethiopia, farmers usually use a fallow period ...
