The impact of future climate and land use/cover change on water resources in the Ndembera watershed and their mitigation and adaptation strategies
(Environmental Systems Research, 2018)
Land use/cover and climate changes have a great influence on the hydrological processes in the watershed. The impacts of land use/cover and climate change are set to increase in the future due to the increased clearance ...
Beyond the drinking glass: expanding our understanding of water-nutrition linkages
(Feild Exchange, 2017)
Water access and management play central roles in determining nutritional outcomes. Water-for-nutrition is most often approached from a WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) perspective, where the aim is to improve water ...
Impact of Climate Change on Streamflow Hydrology in Headwater Catchments of the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Water, 2018)
This study assessed the impact of climate change on water availability and variability in two subbasins in the upper Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia. Downscaled future climate data from HadCM3 of A2 (medium-high) and B2 ...
Uncertainty in a Lumped and a Semi-Distributed Model for Discharge Prediction in Ghatshila Catchment
(Water, 2018)
Hydrologic simulations of different models have direct impact on the accuracy of discharge prediction because of the diverse model structure. This study is an attempt to comprehend the uncertainty in discharge prediction ...
Assessing potential land suitable for surface irrigation using groundwater in Ethiopia
(Applied Geography, 2017)
Although Ethiopia has abundant land for irrigation, only a fraction of its potential land is being utilized.This study evaluates suitability of lands for irrigation using groundwater in Ethiopia using GIS-basedMulti-Criteria ...
Insights From a Multi-Method Recharge: Estimation Comparison Study
(Groundwater, 2018)
Although most recharge estimation studies apply multiple methods to identify the possible range in recharge values, many donot distinguish clearly enough between inherent uncertainty of the methods and other factors affecting ...
Scaling-up Conservation Agriculture Production System (CAPS) with Drip Irrigation by Integrating MCE Technique and the APEX Model
(Water, 2019)
The conservation agriculture production system (CAPS) approach with drip irrigation has proven to have the potential to improve water management and food production in Ethiopia. A method of scaling-up crop yield under CAPS ...
Suitability of Watershed Models to Predict Distributed Hydrologic Response in the Awramba Watershed in Lake Tana Basin
(Land Degradation & Development, 2016)
Planning effective landscape interventions is an important tool to fight against land degradation and requires knowledge on spatial distribution of runoff. The objective of this paper was to test models that predict temporal ...
Endosulfan Pesticide Dissipation and Residue Levels in Khat and Onion in a Sub-humid Region of Ethiopia
(Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering, 2020)
Endosulfan, a mixture of α- and β-isomers, is used by farmers in the wet and dry season for khat and onion production. Khat leaf samples were collected in farmer fields at intervals of 1 h; 1, 5, 9 and 14 d after application. ...
Conservation Agriculture Saves Irrigation Water in the Dry Monsoon Phase in the Ethiopian Highlands
(Water, 2019)
Water resources in sub-Saharan Africa are more overstressed than in many other regions of the world. Experiments on commercial farms have shown that conservation agriculture (CA) can save water and improve the soil. ...
