| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Field experiments and model simulation were conducted to evaluate the effects of soil and water conservation interventions in the Upper Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia. Soil and water conservation measures that have high runoff reduction effects were a soil bund combined with a vegetation strip installed on cultivated land and trenches installed on grazing grassland. The runoff reduction effects were found to be enhanced by combining various measures of soil and water conservation. In addition, small-scale farmers’ perceived soil erosion severity and adoption of soil and water conservation technologies were conditioned by socio-economic, biophysical, institutional and farm related factors. These findings allow deriving policy recommendations to enhance voluntary uptake of soil and water conservation technologies by small-scale farmers.
