Monitoring and investigating dust phenomenon on using remote sensing science, geographical information system and statistical methods

Sara Abdollahi et al.

Summary: The study examined Persian and English databases using keywords related to dust, heavy metals, remote sensing, geographical information systems, and statistical methods. Articles focusing on these areas were retrieved, descriptively analyzed, and reported for the period from 1992 to 2016. Findings showed that statistical methods, remote sensing, and geographical information systems are effective tools in studying dust monitoring and detection research.

Land Use/Land Cover Change Impact on Hydrological Process in the Upper Baro Basin, Ethiopia

Tewodros Getu Engida et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of Land Use/Land Cover (LU/LC) change on the hydrological processes of the Upper Baro Basin over 30 years. The results showed that LU/LC change led to alterations in the hydrological characteristics of the watershed, emphasizing the importance of conservation strategies to maintain ecosystem stability.

A Review of SWAT Model Application in Africa

George Akoko et al.

Summary: The SWAT model has been extensively used in various hydrological and environmental simulations, with studies focusing on water resources, erosion, land-use management, climate change, and model parameterization. The challenges and potential benefits of the SWAT model's applications, along with considerations for future simulations, are discussed in these studies.

Modeling and Prediction of Land Use Land Cover Change Dynamics Based on Land Change Modeler (LCM) in Nashe Watershed, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Megersa Kebede Leta et al.

Summary: This study utilized Landsat images and LCM to analyze the temporal and spatial dynamics of land use land cover in the Nashe watershed of Ethiopia, predicting a further decline in forest cover and expansion of agricultural land in the future. The main trend of future LULC change will be the conversion of forest areas, range land, and grass land into agricultural land.

A Review on Land Use and Land Cover Change in Ethiopian Basins

Motuma Shiferaw Regasa et al.

Summary: Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes in Ethiopia are mainly driven by population pressure, resettlement programs, climate change, and other anthropogenic factors. Studies have shown that in the past decades, the landscape has transitioned from natural to agricultural land use, commercial farmland, and built-up areas due to increasing anthropogenic pressure. The challenge lies in forecasting future LULC changes at the watershed scale to develop basin-wide management strategies for the future.

Sources and level of heavy metal contamination in the water of Awetu watershed streams, southwestern Ethiopia

Higemengist Astatkie et al.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the contamination source, level, and spatial distribution of globally alarming trace metals from Awetu watershed streams in southwestern Ethiopia. The study found that the concentration of trace elements in the streams is associated with the type of waste entering the streams and may pose a risk to downstream users. Awareness creation and establishment of waste management systems and river quality monitoring should be implemented to minimize public health risks and deterioration of the aquatic ecosystem.

Stream flow modeling using SWAT model and the model performance evaluation in Toba sub-watershed, Ethiopia

Fayera Gudu Tufa et al.

Summary: Streamflow modeling is crucial for water resource management, especially in areas like Toba sub-watershed in Ethiopia. The study used ArcSWAT model to simulate streamflow and found that groundwater delay and curve number were the most sensitive parameters. Calibration and validation results showed good agreement between measured and simulated data.

Assessment of impacts of land use/land cover changes upstream of a dam in a semi-arid watershed using QSWAT

Anuradha Tanksali et al.

Summary: This study assesses the adaptability of the QSWAT model for a semi-arid watershed undergoing drastic LULC changes due to dam construction. The impact of LULC changes on water balance components is analyzed, showing decreases in agricultural area, barren land, and urban built-up area. The model demonstrates a strong predictive capability with good agreement between simulated and observed flows, indicating the influence of human intervention on hydrological responses.
