In Ethiopia the use of groundwater for agriculture is very low. Many irrigation schemes obtain
water from river diversions in which only farmers with land near the rivers gets profit from
irrigation, while others are ...
Reservoir sedimentation is a significant issue that shortens reservoir life and has an
impact on operations like irrigation, hydropower, and drinking water supply since it
significantly diminishes ...
Reservoir sedimentation is a gradual accumulation of the incoming sediment load from a
river. The main reason of land degradation and reservoir sedimentation is soil erosion. So
that, modelling of sediment ...
Estimation of time of concentration faces a great extent of uncertainties in hydrological
design provision and introduction of water resource management policies. Researches has
shown that the estimation of time of ...
Climate variability and land use change are major factors that affect watershed
hydrology regionally and globally. This study aims to determine the effects of climate
variability and land use change in the ...
Numerous hydrological modeling studies have been carried out in several basins with
various climatic, land-use, soil, and geological conditions. The applied models have
different structure to ...
In Ethiopia, available rainfall records are mainly limited to daily time steps. Though
rainfall time series data at shorter time steps are important for various purposes like
modeling of erosion processes and flood ...
Land use land cover change (LULC) is a very significant issue in terms of global dynamics
and their responses to hydrological features and the soil and water management of a
watershed because it has a ...

Irrigation is a way of bringing water to crops by using force or gravity to move it from
the source to the field, in order to make up for the lack of moisture in the soil wher e the
crop's roots are. There are ...
This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of future climate change and irrigation expansion
on the available surface water resources of the Gilgel Abay catchment, which is located within the
Abay River Basin in ...
The development of irrigation systems has long been recognized as an important tool to
encourage economic growth and rural development in Ethiopia, as well as a foundation for food
security and poverty ...
Floods are common to many parts of Ethiopia causing a lot of losses to human lives as
well as damage to property. This thesis was conducted to know the extent of flood
inundation area for Azuari River. ...
Flood is the devastating natural events as it causes massive destructive of life, economy
and infrastructure. The main objective of this study was Flood Inundation mapping Using
HEC-RAS and Geospatial Techniques. ...
Population growth, and future developments, are occurring at an ever-increasing phase. These
process results in an increased demand for water sectors. Water is not only influenced by human
activities, but ...
Famine and environmental degradation in Ethiopia have been mostly caused by extreme
rainfall variability. Rainwater harvesting is a technique that has been used for many years
to address these problems. The best locations ...
