The availability and distribution of water resources in catchments
are influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors.
Human-induced environmental changes are key factors controlling the
hydrological flows of semi-arid catchments. Land degradation, water
scarcity and inefficient utilization of available water resources
continue to be important constraints for socio-economic development
in the headwater catchments of the Nile river basin in particular
over the Ethiopian Catchments. This research investigates the
impact of landscape anthropogenic changes on the hydrological
processes in the Upper Tekeze basin (A tributary of the Nile). The
hydrology of the basin is investigated through analysis of
hydro-climatic data, remote sensing techniques, new field
measurements and parsimonious hydrological models. The empirical
evidence provided in this book confirms that human-induced
environmental changes can significantly change the hydrology of
catchments, both in negative (degradation) and in positive
(restoration) ways. This book also shows that rainfall-runoff
relationships in semi-arid catchments are non-uniform and hence the
application of hydrological models in such catchments need special
attention. Moreover, parsimonious dynamic hydrological model
improves our understanding of the hydrological response to dynamic
environmental changes.
