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 ...
Predicting Spatial and Temporal Soil Moisture Distribution in an Agricultural Field of Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, North Gondar, Ethiopia
TropiLakes 2015 Book of Abstracts.
Final Dataset from erosion plot experiment conducted in Gumara-Maksegnit (2013).
Final Dataset from erosion plot experiment conducted in 2013 in Gumara-Maksegnit as elaborated by Andreas Klik of BOKU, scientific responsible of the study. Please contact author to obtain more detailed metadata or to ...
Using magnetite tracer to evaluate a novel plot experimental design for the assessment of soil and water conservation impacts of stone bunds in Ethiopia
In the Ethiopian highlands the removal of native forests and rangelands for crop cultivation dramatically increased
the vulnerability of the soils for rainfall driven soil erosion. Overlaid with intensive rainfalls occurring ...
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 ...
Investigation of the impact of stone bunds on soil water content - A case study in the northern Ethiopian Highland
During rainy season (June to September) soil erosion by surface runoff is a major issue and a big challenge
for soil conservation scenarios in the northern Ethiopian highland. For reduction of water erosion and thereby
decrease ...
Flume experimental evaluation of the effect of rill flow path tortuosity on rill roughness based on the Manning–Strickler equatio
Numerous soil erosion models compute concentrated flow hydraulics based on the Manning–Strickler equation
(v = kSt R2/3 I1/2) even though the range of the application on rill flow is unclear. Unconfined rill morphologies
generate ...
