Intense rainfall/runoff events produce large proportion of suspended sediment concentrations and sediment load responses. With an aim to mitigate land degradation problems in Ethiopia, soil and water conservation projects are being massively implemented. The effect of these conservation measures ...

Contributions of peak sediment events to annual loads and the effects of best management practices on peak loads in the sub-humid Ethiopian highlands: the Debre Mawi watershed [Abstract only]
Restoration of degraded landscapes through the implementation of soil and water conservation practices is considered a viable option to increase agricultural production by enhancing ecosystems. However, in the humid Ethiopian highlands, little information is available on the impact of conservatio...

Impact of soil depth and topography on the effectiveness of conservation practices on discharge and soil loss in the Ethiopian Highlands
Land use and management affects runoff and soil loss from a catchment. The present study investigated the effects of land use on runoff and suspended sediment concentration and yield in the northwestern Ethiopia. We selected two small catchments: cultivated land and grassland dominated catchments...

Effects of land use on catchment runoff and soil loss in the sub-humid Ethiopian highlands
Controlling soil erosion is important for maintaining land productivity and reducing sedimentation of reservoirs in the Ethiopian highlands. To gain insights on sediment loss patterns, magnitude of peak sediment events, and their contribution to annual loads, hydrometric and sediment concentratio...
