Prioritizing sub-watersheds for soil and water conservation via morphometric analysis and the weighted sum approach: A case study of the Geba river basin in Tigray, Ethiopia
Ranking watersheds according to their susceptibility to soil erosion is crucial in setting priorities for soil and water conservation initiatives. The main intention of this work is to characterize and prioritize 12-sub-watersheds of the Geba River Basin, northern Ethiopia for planned soil and water...
