Abstract

The high land of Ethiopia is characterized as a region of high rates of land degradation and soil erosion, especially the Blue Nile Basin, where the eroded area is due to a significant change of land use/cover. This study aimed to estimate the sediment yield of Angar sub-basin using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model interface of GIS at the outlet. The land use map of 1990, 2005, and 2018 was identified from TM, ETM+, and OLI_TIRS satellite images, and the accuracy was checked using the error matrix and Kappa statistic. The streamflow and sediment were calibrated and validated to check the model performance. The model performance has been evaluated using statistical parameters of coefficient of determination (R²) 0.75 to 0.94 for calibration & 0.77 to 0.95 for validation and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) 0.60 to 0.93 for calibration & 0.64 to 0.92 for validation. The annual average suspended sediment was 17.64 t/ha/yr. and the simulated annual average sediment yield was 18 t /ha/yr., 19 t/ha/yr. & 22 t/ha/yr. for land use of 1990, 2005, and 2018 respectively. The sediment severity percentage increased from land-use of 1990 to 2018 by 24.32%. due to the expansion of agricultural activities and settlement areas.
