Awulachew, Seleshi BekeleMcCartney, Matthew P.Shiferaw, Y. S.Mohamed, Yasir[Hydrological water availability, trends and allocation in the Blue Nile Basin [Abstract only].]Hydrological water availability, trends and allocation in the Blue Nile Basin [Abstract only].

Land degradation is a serious threat in the Gumera watershed which is reflected in the form of soil erosion. Erosion is a major watershed problem causing significant loss of soil fertility and productivity. Increased sediment loads that shorten the useful life of the reservoir, the lives of other...

Ethiopia is an agrarian society in a land of drought and floods. Agricultural production, which is the source of livelihood for eight out of ten Ethiopians, is extremely vulnerable to climatic conditions. The causes of rural poverty are many including wide fluctuations in agricultural production ...

This research was conducted to introduce the concept of evaluating the countries large scale irrigation systems and using the IWMI?s minimum set of indicators for the same purpose. This was done by selecting two irrigation systems in the Upper Awash Basin. NuraEra state and Wonji estate farm were...

Recently, there has been very little irrigation development in Sub-Saharan Africa. The main reasons cited for this lack of interest in developing irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa is that irrigation projects are expensive and perform poorly compared to projects from other regions. However, when cl...
