Land use, management and climate effects on runoff and soil loss responses in the highlands of Ethiopia
...
Soil erosion by water is a major cause of land degradation in the highlands of Ethiopia and anywhere else in the world, but its magnitude and variability are rarely documented across land uses and climatological conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine runoff and soil loss responses under cropland (CL) and grazing land (GL) management p...
Estimating the runoff response from hillslopes treated with soil and water conservation structures in the semi-arid Ethi...
Planning and management of water resources is crucial to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security in drylands. For this, adaptable and reliable runoff prediction models are urgently needed to support water harvesting and irrigation development. In this study we explored the potential of the runoff Curve Number (CN) method to estim...

Impacts of catchment restoration on water availability and drought resilience in Ethiopia : a meta-analysis
The coupled land degradation-drought impacts have been central challenges to ecosystem functioning and livelihood of farmers in Ethiopia. As a response, catchment restoration initiatives have been implemented since the 1970s. The objective of this article is to analyze the effects of such catchment restoration initiatives on water resources and dro...

Curve number calibration for measuring impacts of land management in sub-humid Ethiopia
Study Region: We investigate the event runoff response in six sub-catchments in the Lake Tana subbasin, headwater of the Blue Nile basin, northwest Ethiopia. Steep and mountainous terrains surround floodplains, imposing runoff and soil erosion in the upper catchments and flooding and sedimentation at floodplains. This study was conducted in the upl...
Land susceptibility to water and wind erosion risks in the East Africa region
...
Land degradation by water and wind erosion is a serious problem worldwide. Despite the significant amount of research on this topic, quantifying these processes at large- or regional-scale remains difficult. Furthermore, very few studies provide integrated assessments of land susceptibility to both water and wind erosion. Therefore, this study inve...
Gully and soil and water conservation structure densities in semi-arid northern Ethiopia over the last 80years
Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Gullies have been a common phenomenon in semi-arid northern Ethiopia for the last centuries. However, soil and water conservation (SWC) structures have been implemented for a long time to curb soil erosion. Though, like most of the affected areas worldwide, density and distribution of gullies and SWC structu...
