  Review of Soil Erosion Risk For Soil and Water Conservation Planning Under Ethiopian Condition
  Author(s): Kedir Jemal*
  
  Soil erosion is one of the major factors affecting sustainability of agricultural production in Ethiopia. This paper reviews Ethiopia’s experience and research progress in soil erosion risk for Soil and Water Conservation planning. In most findings conducted at Ethiopian watershed possibilities of high soil lose and risk was reported. Their findings revealed that the study areas are facing different problems such that forest transformation, which is very likely intensified by the demand for subsistence agricultural land. Most of the parts of these watersheds have experienced intensive soil erosion behavior, which is beyond the tolerable soil loss level. This threatens the annual crop production and the productivity of the land impacting the local farmers’ food security. Analysis of a compilation of soil loss rates due to sheet and rill erosion at plot and catchment scales .. View more»
