Effects of check dams on runoff characteristics along gully reaches, the case of Northern Ethiopia
Description: In the Highlands of Northern Ethiopia soil and water conservation (SWC) practices, including construction of check dams in gullies, have been widely implemented for the last three decades. Despite this extensive installation of check dams, their effects on runoff response are not well understood as compared to those of other SWC practices. Hence, this study examines the effects of check dams on runoff response in gully channels. [Source: Journal of Hydrology]
