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 ...
Impact of stone bunds on temporal and spatial variability of soil physical properties: a field study from northern Ethiopia
In the Ethiopian Highlands, stone bunds are a common practice for soil and water conservation,
influencing runoff and erosion processes from sloped agricultural areas. The objective of this study was
to investigate how ...
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 ...
Spatial Variability of Selected Soil Attributes under Agricultural Land Use System in a Mountainous Watershed, Ethiopia
In the Ethiopian Highlands, research projects were often measuring soil attributes of spatially
structured point data but soil variability at a watershed scale is not clearly defined. This study was
conducted to assess ...
Reducing land degradation and farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in the highland dry areas of north-western Ethiopia
The document presents research activities on Mitigating Soil Erosion and Water Scarcity, Increasing Farmers’ Adaptation Capacity to Climate Change in the Highland dry areas of Ethiopia
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 ...
Productive & Resilient rainfed farming systems in drylands
A partnership of scientists and smallholder farmers in Ethiopia’s Gumara-Maksegnit watershed is integrating innovative technologies, best practices and bio-economic modeling tools to help increase the productivity and build ...
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 ...
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.
Implementing a holistic approach to watershed management
Introduction to the closing workshop on "Reducing land degradation and farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in the highland dry areas of north-western Ethiopia ". -> a succes story including scope for further reserach
