Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Rate in the Blue Nile River Basin of Ethiopia

Substantial runoff is a feature of the Ethiopian Nile River Basin because its soils are erodible and poorly organized, resulting in high soil loss sedimentation rates. The rate erosion basin was reported to be quite variable, which could owing methodology utilized data quality used. By reviewing recent studies, this review primarily aimed give information on range Recent studies at small watersheds levels were reviewed. Soil rates Ethiopia's Blue ranged from 16 67.37ton ha-1 year-1 4.2 18ton year-1, respectively. Similarly, level 8.25 100ton 1.1 43.34ton Hence it concluded that serious problems basin. So, appropriate water conservation measures recommended throughout reduce both on-site off-site effects erosion. It also highly advised utilize uniform techniques common source for estimation different levels.
