This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs) reduce soil erosion in Gumara watershed Abbay (Upper Blue Nile) Basin using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The model calibrated (1995–2002) validated (2003–2007) SWAT-CUP based on observed streamflow sediment yield data at outlet. evaluated four individual BMP Scenarios; namely, filter strip...

soil erosion and its associated land degradation represent major problems for development as well as for environmental resources protection. there is an urgent need to obtain reliable quantitative data on the extent and rates of soil erosion worldwide. the use of 137cs radionuclide for studying soil erosion and deposition is a valuable tool employed throughout the world. in the present study, u...

The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) is a proposed very large area coded aperture telescope array, incorporating 8m of pixellated Cd-Zn-Te (CZT) detectors, to conduct a full-sky imaging and temporal hard x-ray (10-600 keV) survey each 95min orbit. With a sensitivity (5σ, 1yr) of ~0.05mCrab (10-150 keV), it will extend the ROSAT soft x-ray (0.5-2.5keV) and proposed ROSITA medium ...
