Defourny, N.[What are the main drivers behind Ethiopian farmers soil and water conservations practices?]What are the main drivers behind Ethiopian farmers soil and water conservations practices?

Up until today, rainwater management practices have been promoted regardless of site-specific biophysical characteristics and regardless of the socio-economic and institutional environment. Therefore, low adoption rates and high disadoption rates of rainwater management practices are observed. In...

Mixed crop–livestock farming system is a major livelihood strategy in most sub-Sahara African countries. Low water use efficiency and water scarcity characterize the dominant rainfed agricultural production system in the densely populated highlands of Ethiopia. Improving water productivity in the...


Debela, A.A.Erkossa, TekluZuberi, M.I.[Management practices and agro-ecological effects on crop water productivity in Meja watershed, Ethiopia]Management practices and agro-ecological effects on crop water productivity in Meja watershed, Ethiopia

With the construction of the new Renaissance Dam at the Ethiopian Sudan border, reducing sediment load in the Blue Nile is becoming increasingly important. Past attempts of decreasing sediment concentrations have been only partially successful. In this paper, we will examine the temporal distribu...


Steenhuis, Tammo S.Enkamil, M.Asmare, D.Tilahun, S.Yitaferu, B.Worqlul, A.W.Zemadim, BirhanuMacAlister, C.Baker, T.Langan, Simon J.[Evaluation of rain water management practices for sediment load reduction in the (semi) humid Blue Nile basin]Evaluation of rain water management practices for sediment load reduction in the (semi) humid Blue Nile basin

Over the past five decades, gullying has been widespread and has become more severe in the Ethiopian highlands. Only in very few cases, rehabilitation of gullies has been successful in Ethiopia due to the high costs. The objective of this paper is to introduce cost effective measures to arrest gu...

Although Ethiopia has a large potential to develop irrigation, only 5% of the 3.5 million hectares of land potentially available has been developed. To examine the underlying causes, this study evaluates the suitability of surface water irrigation for the Lake Tana Basin development corridor. Sur...

This study was conducted in Mizewa watershed which is located in Blue Nile Basin (BNB) to estimate on-site financial cost of erosion in terms of yield reduction taking maize as representative crop. For this purpose, discharge measurement and runoff sampling was made during the rainy season of 201...


Taye, G.Adgo, E.Erkossa, Teklu[On-site financial costs of soil erosion by runoff from the Mizewa catchment of the Blue Nile basin]On-site financial costs of soil erosion by runoff from the Mizewa catchment of the Blue Nile basin

Access to safe drinking water services in the Ethiopian Highlands is one of lowest worldwide due to failure of water supply services shortly after construction. Over hundred water supply systems were surveyed to find the underlying causes of failure and poor performance throughout the Amhara Regi...


Tilahun, Seifu A.Tigabu, A.D.Tarekegne, T.M.Addisie, Meseret B.Beyene, H.A.Alemeyehu, Z.A.Ayele, M.Collick, A.S.Steenhuis, Tammo S.[Factors in the suboptimum performance of rural water supply systems in the Ethiopian highlands]Factors in the suboptimum performance of rural water supply systems in the Ethiopian highlands

Most soil erosion studies conducted in Ethiopia are focused on quantification of sediment and lack specific information on temporal and spatial variability of sediment and its associated plant nutrients loss. This study was, therefore quantified and characterized runoff and sediment along with es...
