The Blue Nile Basin (Abay in Ethiopia) covers wide range landscapes and climatic zones in Ethiopia and Sudan. Different agricultural production systems, in the basin, evolved in response to those diverse landscapes and climatic zones, and the attendant human decision dynamics that responds to cha...

Improved water and land management in the Ethiopian highlands and implications for the downstream Blue Nile
The riparian countries of the Nile have agreed to collaborate in the development of its water resources for sustainable socioeconomic growth. Currently there is significant potential for expansion of hydropower and irrigation in the Blue Nile River in both Ethiopia and Sudan. However, the likely ...

Application of the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) Model to simulate current and future water demand in the Blue Nile
With its total area of about 200,000 square kilometers (km2), which is 20% of the country?s land mass, and accommodating 25% of the population, the Upper Blue Nile Basin (Abbay) is one of the most important river basins in Ethiopia. About 40% of agricultural products and 45% of the surface water ...

The purpose of this study is to simulate water allocation for major activities (existing and planned) in the Abbay Basin using up-to-date water allocation and simulation models. The model, MIKE BASIN, is used to gain an insight into the potential downstream consequences of the development of phys...

The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a watershed model widely used to predict water quantity and quality under varying land use and water use regimes. To determine the respective amounts of infiltration and surface runoff, SWAT uses the popular Curve Number (CN). While being appropriate for e...
