Field experimental assessment of soil erosion processes at different scales in Gumara-Maksegnit watershed

Abstract

Rainfall-driven soil erosion and consequential land degradation are among the major threats of the
mountainous landscape of Lake Tana Basin. In the course of a bilaterally funded project led by the
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) an integrated watershed
assessment has been undertaken in Gumara-Maksegenit watershed
