Valley bottomland provides diverse agricultural and ecosystem benefits. Due to
concentrated flow paths, they are more vulnerable to gully erosion than hillslope areas. The …

In response to anthropogenic disturbances, alluvial rivers adjust their geometry. The alluvial
river channels in the upper Blue Nile basin have been disturbed by human-induced factors …

Lake sediment budgeting is a vital tool to better understand catchment sediment fluxes. It
allows assessing lake lifetime and can be used to design improved catchment management …

Intensification of rainfed agriculture in the Ethiopian highlands has resulted in soil
degradation and hardpan formation, which has reduced rooting depth, decreased deep …

Soil erosion poses a global threat to soil loss, agricultural land deterioration, and crop yield
decreases. This paper accounts for the establishment of sustainable land planning, and …

Despite millions of dollars invested in soil and water conservation (SWC) practices in the
(sub) humid Ethiopian highlands and billions of hours of food-for-work farm labor, sediment …

Information on sediment concentration in rivers is important for the design and management
of reservoirs. In this paper, river sediment flux and siltation rate of a rift valley lake basin …

Lake sedimentation has a fundamental impact on lake lifetime. In this paper, we show how
sensitive calculation of the latter is to the quality of data available and assumptions made …

The implementation of soil and water conservation (SWC) measures in the Ethiopian
Highlands is a top priority to reduce soil erosion rates. However, the effectiveness of these …

Experimental research in the Ethiopian highlands found that saturation excess induced
runoff and erosion are common in the sub‐humid conditions. Because most erosion …
