Soil Erosion and Sediment Export in Berta Watershed Using GIS and USLE Model in Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia: Implications for Sustainable Natural Resources Management
Abstract: Soil erosion and sedimentation of lake due to runoff is a major problem in Southern Ethiopia. Berta watershed is one of the watersheds in Rift valley Basin, contributing runoff to small Abaya (Tuffa) lake. However, no studies have been conducted on soil erosion and sediment yield from the entire watershed. Therefore, an updated Universal Soil Loss Model and Geographic Information System have been used to start the current study, which …
