In order to develop an integrated water resources development plan, accurate prediction of sediment yields in a basin is important. The study area is one of the four major sub-basins in the Eastern Nile Portion of the Nile basin. It is located in the southernmost portion of the Eastern Nile Basin contributing about 26 billion m 3 of water every yea...

Context 1
... to the SHETRAN library, five predominant land uses were identified; shrub, grass, forest, arable and urban from the ENTRO (2007) report and the distribution in the catchment is shown in Figure 4. Default SHETRAN vegetation parameters such as canopy storage capacity, leaf area index, maximum rooting depth and Actual Evaporation and Potential Evaporation (AE/PE) at field capacity were used as a starting point for calibration. ...
Context 2
... the period 1952 to 1992 daily rainfall, monthly discharge and monthly evaporation data were available from stations maintained by the Ethiopian government. Nineteen rainfall stations were available for the whole catchment with their distribution in the catchment shown in Figure 4. The Thiessen polygon method was used to determine the area of influence of each station. ...
