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...

... sediment loads are generated by considering rainfall-runoff-erosion processes, bank erosion and routing the sediment considering sediment transport capacity in overland and channel flow (Wick & Bathurst, 1995) and (Lukey, et al., 1995). An orthogonal grid and vertical columns in horizontal layers describes the spatial distribution of catchment properties as illustrated in Figure 2 . Hydrologic process parameters utilized by the model, such as rainfall (max daily), evaporation (max monthly), land cover distribution, soil distributions, properties, grading, depth and daily flow record and sediment load calibration data can be obtained from field measurement data. ...
