Best Management Practices to reduce soil erosion

Insights on how managing land could help in reducing erosion could be found in the new article "Modeling best management practices to reduce future sediment yield in the Fincha watershed, Ethiopia" published on the International Journal of Sediment Research.

How is the Fincha basin hydrology responding to LULC changes?

We answered this question in our last work "Modeling the impact of historical and future land use land cover changes on the hydrological response of an Ethiopian watershed" published on Sustainable Water Resources Management.
