Characteristics and onsite costs of the sediment lost by runoff from Dapo and Chekorsa Watersheds, Digga District
This study conducted in two sub catchments of the Abay Basin identified the quantity and quality of sediment loss and its origin though most studies conducted in Ethiopia focus on quantification of soil loss. Also, the onsite economic cost in terms of yield reduction was estimated taking maize (Zea mays) as representative crop. For this purpose, two monitoring stations were selected at the outlet of the two watersheds. Depth integrated runoff samples were collected during the rainy season in 2011 while discharge of the Rivers was estimated from staff gauge-discharge relationship.

Assessing the role of traditional land management practices in improving cropland productivity: The case of Diga Woreda, Oromia
A Land management practice has many forms and the focus of this research is on
traditional land management practices. The main objective of this study was to assess the
role of traditional land management practices in improving cropland productivity in the
study area. The study was mainly focused on describing the soil fertility status between
lands with and without traditional land management practices.12 Soil sample was taken
from farmland with four and above practices and another 12 soil sample from farmland
