Sediment management modelling in the Blue Nile Basin using SWAT model

Sediment management modelling in the Blue Nile Basin using SWAT model

Soil erosion/sedimentation is an immense problem that has threatened water resources development in the Nile river basin, particularly in the Eastern Nile (Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt). An insight into soil erosion/sedimentation mechanisms and mitigation methods plays an imperative role for the sustainable water resources development in the region. This paper presents daily sediment yield simulat...

Modeling of Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport in the Blue Nile Basin using the Open Model Interface Approach Modeling of soil erosion and sediment transport in the Blue Nile Basin using the Open Model Interface Approach

Rapid land use change due to intensive agricultural practices in the Ethiopian Highlands, results in increasing rates of soil erosion. This manifested in significant impacts downstream by reducing the storage capacity of reservoirs (e.g., Roseires, Sennar), and high desilting costs of irrigation canals. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a better understanding of the process at basin scale. ...

Land-Use Change Modelling in the Upper Blue Nile Basin

Land-use and land-cover changes are driving unprecedented changes in ecosystems and environmental processes at different scales. This study was aimed at identifying the potential land-use drivers in the Jedeb catchment of the Abbay basin by combining statistical analysis, field investigation and remote sensing. To do so, a land-use change model was calibrated and evaluated using the SITE (SImul...

simulation of runoff and sediment yield in haraz river basin in mazandaran using swat model

introduction simulations of river flow and understanding different components of hydrologic cycle are important for programming of the conservation aspects of water resources. since the study area is located in the site of dam construction, the estimation of rainfall runoff and sediment yield are very important for better management of water resources. therefore, in this study, the swat model w...
