The Government aims io improve agricultural production, and use it as the basis For developing ari agriculturally-based industrial sector. The Government has recently released several other major development plans, including lhe National Rumi Devetopmant Strategy m November 2001, and an updated National Food Security Strategy in March 2002. To meet national and iniernaliongl goals regarding poverty in mid-2002, the Federal Government Finalized Us Sustainable Devefopn ent and Poverty Reduction Plan (SOPRPJ, which updates lhe earlier Interim Poverty Rftoutbon Strategy Paper {I PRSPj released in 2000 In support oF these a (furls, Government fs also undertaking a major process of decenlraksation and devolution of power to Inc country's woradas (districts). Poverty reduction and promotion of agroforcstry included m Iho strategies couid contribute in minimizing pressure on rhe forest resources and support conservation of the exiting forest and increasing the forest cover. However, Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) and Interim PRSPs had only mentioned, but not elaborated upon, forestry responses and aclwns, by suggesting that agretarestry would be part of its actions to reduce poverty. The more recent and comprehensive SDPRP also rails to adequacy consider forestry issues in ils analysis of the causes and responses to poverty. It mentions 1ha1 agrcloreslry will bn promoted. It does not. however, consider broader linkages of forestry with rood security income generation, and poverty reduction. Il does noi. for example consider how sustainable participatory management of natural forests or promotion of eco-tourism or forest-based enterprises, such as promotion and processing of non-wood forest products. could contribute to poverty reduction.

Some observers have estimated that at one time, high forests covered 35% of Ethiopia, and high forest and savannah woodlands combined covered ,i total of 66 percent In th? early 1950s, high forests covered 16 percent of the land Sy 1he early 1960s it had dropped lo 3.6 percent, and 2 7 percent by 1989. In recent years, deforestation and degradation has been focused io the south-western part of the cooniry, where the majority of rhe remaining natural forests are located. Tins deforestation IS being driven primarily by agricultural expansion - through commercial agriculture. coffee and tea plantations, shifting cultivation, and settlements Other causes of deforestation include luetwood collection, harvesting oi construction materials, wildfires, growing Human and 9 Water Works Design & Sopervislun Enterprise In Association with Intercontinental Consultants aud Technocrats Pvt.

Therefore, t is advisable, to concentrate the development of management plans as a first step on those NFPAs. where natural High Purest are still existing. In a second phase, a follow-up has to be done at me remaining NFPA's with the objecrives to rehabilitate those areas where Natural High Forests were once exisling. 1,3.2 Effects of Deforestation Decrease in lhe lores! cover m Ethiopra have been linked io degradation of fertile land declining land productivity, toss cf biological diversity, shortage of fuel wood, construction materials and other goods and services provided by forest resources. Expansion of doserlificaiioo throughout Ethiopia is another consequence of forest destruction, which is fallowed by frequent draught and famine. Considerable research has been undertaken in Ethiopia to estimate land degradation and soil erosion, particularly in the mountainous regions and losses of lop soil in some areas, where fuelwood is in short supply, many rural people use dung and crop residues (biomass) for cooking fuel, which then may reduce soil ferlmty and grain production. Where increased iree planting has been taking place recently in certain locations, and with changes in fenu^er subsidies, more fanners are leaving dung on their fields and crop residues are being increasingly used for animal fndder 1.3.3 Forest Resources Management Systems Water Work si Design 4 Supervision Enterprise In Association with Intercontinental Censultanu and Technocrats Pin Lid. 10.. rj ft Utdcssa kricadflit Pmj ecf Forestry_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ May 2007 cases, these plantations were formerly established through cooperative labour, employment generation schemes or Fooddor-Work programmes.

Agrafe-rsslry, the Intentional integration of agricultural and forestry based land-use systems, provides mufi.pte benefits lhat collectively contribute Io agroecosystem sustainability. A_s part of an ecologically based land management system, agroforeslry practices can maintain ecosystem diversity and processes that contribute to long-term suslainabriily and environmental quality. Agroforestry pracbces include windbreaks, alley cropping, tree/paslure systems livmy fences, riparian lores! buffers, tree/speciaby crop systems, forest ^especially crop systems (forest farming), wildlife habtlal. and fuelwood plantations. At farm, watershed and landscape levels, integration of agroforeslry practices can transform agricultural lands into stable, resilient, diverse., aesthetic and sustainable agricultural land use systems. Agrofor&stry can sustain and improve crop yields as well as can provide a range of additional resources, which include control of erosion and sediment, multiple crops including wood producls, sequester and biodegrade excess nutrients and pesticides, can moderate micrpcJimates. and diversify habiials for wildlife and human being.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 General May 2007 Watershed Management is an iterative process of mfegrated decisean-making regarding uses and modifications of Hands and waters within a watershed This process provides a chance for stakeholders 1o balance diverse goals and uses for environmental resources, and In consider how their cumulative actions may affect long-term suslamabitity of these resources. Human modifications o! lands and walers directly alter delivery of waler, sedimenls, and nutrients, and thusfundamentalfy alter agnculiural activities. People have varying goals and values relative to uses of local land and water resources. Watershed management provides a framework for integrated decision-making, where we strive lo (i} assess the nature and stalus of the watershed ecosystem, (iiji define short-term and long-term goals for the system, (Hi) determine objectives and actions needed to achieve selected goals; (iv) assess benefits of each action; (v) implement desired actions, (vi) evaluate the effeds of actions and progress toward goals; and (vn) re-evaluate goals and objectives as part of an iterative process Watershed management related to agricultural activities involves the planning and execution ol need based soil and water conservation practices and other sooo-econumic interventions which will consequently control the sod loss, reduce the run-off and improve the livelihood ol lhe community and thus will provide more time of concentration tar run-off water to infiltrate into soil which will finaWy contribute to ground water, ft is, therefore, essential to have a watershed as a basis fw planning and implementation of various soil and waler conservation programs Watershed management is 1he integration of appropriate technologies and strategies within the natural boundaries of a watershed or drainage basin for optimum development through conservation, regeneration a nd j udioous utllization o f all resources - land, water, animal and human within a particular watershed The dynamic processes of the biosphere and the effects of vegetation and soils on these precesses such as interception, evaporation. Iranspiralmn. mtitlration. percolation, and surface run-off. subsurface and ground how, all are affected by land managsmeni activities on the watershed. An improper and! exploitive farming practice m the watershed leads to resource deteriorations, both ex-silu and in-silu Watersheds with degraded uplands result m sedimentation of reservoir and irrigation structures with frequent flooding at Water Works Design & Supervision Enterprise 3 Id AssoclatloD with InLertonLLntnLHJ Consultants and Tecbiicicrats Pvt.

Proper watershed management schemes greatty supplement the suS-taiinabllily of these irrigation schemes, in add Lien .0 the multiple outputs to be derived including forest, livestock, and crop products and fishery on upland watershed. A study tunducled on Aijb-Dedesa watershed suggests that the vegetal cover is relatively good and sod erosion is mintmat in many placets except in areas where fores.1 clearing is taking place particularly Lhal of Borecha and Dembi areas The major challenge is seen to he low awarcnesi of the community in natural resource tonscnalion. Demographicalty. there is low population pressure where by many areas of land arc available for cultivation The exploitation of natural resources is gelling induced with the need to open new- land for cultivation and cutting of trees for sale. In ni-iny places the depth of soil is good enough to support agricultural activities with™t external inpuls. However, many parts of the soil need butfenng with basic substances owing to acidic nature of soils that limit crop production Land degradation in the watershed is associated with def&fesiation and improperly laid out of drainage channels in the cultivated lands. The numoer of livestock is found to be mcompLabble with carrying capacity of existing grazing lands. It has been observed that there is high rate ol over grazing on both grazing lands and cultivated lands during dry periods Failures of soil and waler conservation structures are also highly correlated wdh free grazing of livestock. 1.2 Objectives 1,2.1 General objective The general objective of feasibility slutty of Arjo-Dedesa watershed, as part of Arjo-Dedesa Irrigation Project, is assessment and identification of biophysical and socio-economic potentials and problems o! watershed along w ith the resource base, and to give r ecomimeMaiions on development options that could be applicable m solving the watershed problems. Il is also aimed at improving the livelihood of the community in the walershed in the long run equitably through implemenlalion of various interventions with due consideration 10 upstream downstream interactions and reduce competition for resource, consequenlty avoiding conflicts that may anse from inequitable distribution of development and resources between the up- stieam and downstream community owing to development of irrigation project, from which the down-stream community benefit. Furthermore, the objective of feasibility study of watershed Water Works Design & Supervision Enterprise 4 In UssDetaUDD with IntercssUaeotal CuosultAols And TrehaocraLs Pn Ltd.ArJ o Dedem IrrtEaCion Project Catchments Development Flan May 2007 management includes protection of the watershed resources from degradation and rehabilitation of degraded areas of A/jo-Dedesa watershed thereby increasing Che productivity of a gricultural lands in the watershed, protection of the existing natural resources especially that o1 soiL water and vetjeiatioriH protection of the imgalron dam from sedrmentalion and flooding, with due consideration to holistic and integrated approach, so that the development or Irrigation project would be sustamable. 1.2.2 Specific objectives The specific objectives include the folium ing Identify the biophysical and socio-economic problem* of the watershed fordifferenl land uses.

Project Catchments Development Plan 1.4 Review of Previous Studies and Works May 200? Soil erosion by water is the domiiml type of soil erosion m Ethiopia and is Lhe most important cauie of soi[ erosion in Ethiopian Highlands, within which Aijo-Dedcsa watershed is found rhe effect of soil erosion is loss of soil, removal of organic matter, depletion of nutrients, consequently causing decline in [and productivity, sedimentation of water reservoirs and the like Currently, Ethiopia is facing severe land degradation mainly arising from soil erosion problems The Ethiopian Highland Reclamation Study (EHRS) Estimated that nearly !J billion tons of fertile soil is lost from highlands annually through water erosion alone. This amount is equrvatertt tn an average soil loss of 130 tons per hectare per year from cultivated lands. Allowing for rc-dqpo*ition of soil in the bottom lands, the net soil toss from cultivated lands has been estimated to be JOO tons per hectare per year, which is equivalent w fl mm of soil depth peT annum The Study further estimated that 50% of the highlands are significantly eroded, 25% seriously eroded* while 4% have reached a point of no economic use. Il also estimated that there is an average annual land, productivity decline of 2.2% due io soil erosion. Humi (1984) estimated rates of soil erosion on cropland'; and found to be 42L'lia on average, while this rate has reached up to 300t/ha on individual fields. On the other hand, soil formation rates were estimated to vary between 2 and 22 u.ML*'lia per year. I he variations are based on the differences m jgro-eco logic zones, altitude and focal situaiwns Al present day Ethiopia, forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate and the area covered by foresis al present is only 2.4 percent compared to the estimated 40 percent initial coverage The primary causes of natural forest destruction are agricultural expansion, both through shitting cultivation and the spread of sedentary agriculture; the demand for increasing amounts of construction material, fuel wood and charcoal. Charcoal production is commonplace in the and. semi-ahd and dry humid parts o1 the country [CSE, 1989}. Using fire to fumigate bees and io facilitate hunting is also very common. The major source of household energy biomass A 1984 estimate indicated Shat 94.8 percent of the total energy consumption in Ethiopia was made up of biomass fuels consisting of fuel wood, anima! dung and crofi residue {EFAP 1994}. Fuel wood use makes up 81.8 percent of these traditional sources, while animal dung and crop residue make up 9 4 and 8.4 percent, respectively Traditional fuels make up 99 9 percent of the rural energy consumption and the rural population consumes 80.7 percent of the Cota! net energy (EFAP. 1994).

Th.s has been a period in which security of land tenure and access 1o natural resources were undermined by unpopular policy measures such as frequenl redistribution of land and restrictions m cutting and utilizing trees, even in one's own backyard. Serious destruction of forests has occurred between the tail of the previous government and the stabilization of the present one Forest and generally b.omass degradation, as well as consequent land degradation, lead to the destruction and erosion of biodiversity of both plants and animals. More specifically, the destruction of habitats, the introduction at a narrow spectrum of crop varieties, recurring droughts, as well as wars and conflicts could be mentioned as the most common causes for the erosion of forest cover and biodiversity in Ethiopia Ethiopia's largely poor rural population, driven by poverty, attempts to satisfy the»r survival needs through the clearing of more forest land for agncullural purposes (CSE. 1989). Based on the evaluation of forest conditions in the country EFAP (1994) recommended the expansion of tree plantations in agricultural areas mixed with agricultural operations as means of abaimg forest degradation and associated problems To evaluate the soil erosion status. EHRS used depth of soil as an important indicator that soil depth affects both soil water holding capacity and plant rooting depth providing a direct link between ‘erosion status’ and productivity. Soil scientists now recognized that sail loss has the greatest impact on crop yields through the reduction in soil depth [WBISPP, 2004) The critical deplh below wh>ch crop yield is affected is between 80 and 100 cm The same study showed that sorghum and pulses are not affected until soil depth reaches 77 cm, indicating drought resistance characteristics of these crops. Barber (1984) assumed this depth Io be 10 cm for cultivated lands of Ethiopian Highlands that is expected to reach in year 2010 if the trends of land use practices continue in similar situation ol the time. Correlating lhe soil depth with agro- ecological zones, EHRS found that deeper soils being associated with the higher potential zones, including the present study area; and correlation with altitude showed ihat shallower soils are occurring especially at higher altitudes The decline in soil depth, being effected by soil erosion, reduces soil moisture storage and thus, reducing the ability of craps to sustain development and survival during the mid-period of rainfall The situation is exacerbated by .ncreased runoff owing to reduction tn vegetation cover and reduced soil infiltration due to removal of top-soils and clogging of soil pores by finer soils Water Works Design & Supervision Enterprise la Association with Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt Ltd 8Arjo Dedessa Irrigation Project Catchments Development Plan May 2007 washed-m f rom upslope side Removal of crop residues and animal dung, primarily foe fu>et. also Preaches the natural cycling erf nutrients m the environment, further impoverishing the soil (NCS, 1989). Concern over land degradation, and impacts of it on land productivity and livelihood's of people came to prominence after the 1974 drought. In recognition of the seventy of erosion in Ethiopia and stimulated by recurrent famines especially the major famines of 1972 and 1984, the government of Ethiopia, assisted by FAO. undertook a major study on soil erosion m the Highlands of Ethiopia (EHRS. 1986) Recognizing occurrences of sort erosion and recurrent drought with international assistance and especially in association wtlh lhe WFP. the government has made a major effort to implement soil conservation measures Between 1978 and 1984. 590,00km of contour bunds covering 600,000ha of cultivated land were implemented along with 600.000km diversion ditches. 1100km check dams in gullies, and 470.000km of terraces, afforestation on 1S0,00Cha of sloping land iHurni 1985 as quoted by BCEOM-1999). These measures have been implemented mainly m Hararghe, South Welio. South Gonder, North Showa. Tigray and Arbaminch areas which 'were affected by drought The recent report of Ethiopian Environmental Protection Authority (EEPA, 2003) showed that between 1995 and 1999. 1284924ha on-farm terraces, 115398ha soil bunds, and 45794ha check dams, 12387ha micro-basins, 5646ha cut-off drains were implemented across the country. Generally speaking in the past, focus has been given to physical soil ard water conservation activities. Since 1974, the previous government gave much attention Io implementation of sod and water conservation measures as a means of abating land degradation and established Community Forest and Soil Conservation Department (CFSCD) within the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) to plan and oversee conservation and community forestry projects by watershed countrywide The soil and water conservation and community forestry programmes were lhen implemented on watershed bases from 1980 up to 1991 During these periods, the size o1 watersheds considered as development unit was 20,000 to 40.000ha (8CEOM. 1999) In a more general way. the study of soil erosion situation and the efforts made so tar in soil and water conservation were earned out and given m Abbey River Basin Master Plan propel report This report would be relevant to the target area of study The study indicated that soil erosion in the basin and also rn Ethiopia as a wbo*e has reached at the alarming stages and is increasing under the combined pressures of increasing population and de-vegetation In light of this. the study further suggested that soil and waler conservation strategy should focus on conserving Water Works Design & Supervision Enterprise In Association with lalercontlnetJlaJ Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd.Jkrjo Dedfssa frrtgaiJ&n Project Catchments Development Plan May E007 currently productive lard at1he expense of reclaiming degraded lands In principle, seal erosion is directly linked with the disturbance of soil or land ihraugh cultivation, and ihus slraiegy of erosion control must focus on prelecting cultivated land. Extensive assessment and evaluation of the sad and water conservation measures implemented in lhe country was carried by Donald. 1984 under EHRS project According to this report, attention was given to physical measures and insufficient attention has been given to the biological and ecological asoects of conservation The study further recommended greater attention Id identifying and exploiting locally available plant material fur stabilization of bunds and improvement of pasture and Io the selection of tree species for different ecological conditions, with out ignoring I he need io have quality works of physical measures based on standard norms Moreover, the measures were implemented here and there with out due consideration to watershed It was just in T980's that a watershed approach was started in planning and implementing soil and water conservation works (John et al 1984) The activities conducted since then concentrated on soil end stone bunds, terraces, cutoff drams, gully control check dams and forest tree plantation with major emphasis 1a degraded hilly areas. During these penoos uni.i the recenl times of the fall oi Dergue regime, watershed managameril programmes conoucled have experienced three-fotd maior constraints Firstly, the planning of walershed works was top down and decided by lecnmcai experts; secondly, lhe size of watershed fc* planning was large, 20-40 ihousanj hectares and thirdly, the watershed management interventions were biased to soil and water conservation measures emphasizing on degraded communal and hilly areas with little attention to individually held farmlands (personal view) The lessons learneo from this experiences pushed Mo A and support agencies tike FAO to initiate pilot watershed pfannrng approaches on a bottom-up basis, using smaller units and following community-based approaches, resulting in introduction o f minimum planning and sub-waiershed approach and initialing a shift 1rom larger watershed to smaller watershed as a planning unii. This approach was tested al pilot stage through FAO technical assistance from FAO under MoA during 1988 9t During the test ten years, with support from WFP under MERET project, GTZ.

It is the basis of watershed management and development programmes. The basic principle of soil ancf water conservation is to use the land according to its needs. Therefore, classifying Hie land according io ils capability is a prerequisite and important for planning, implementation and execul-on qt soil and water conservation programmes The land capability classes for ArjD-Dadesse watershed nave bean identified based nn the assessment of the major limiting factors (directly or indirectly) to use the land in a sustainable manner and the obtained class units are primarily categorized as SOIL CONSERVATION REQUIREMENT CLASSES The major limiting factors considered for this purpose are one or two of land features including Slope, Soil depth, Past erosion, Soil infiltration, WaLer-toggmg, Top soil texture and Stoniness or Rockiness. The assessment of each feature was made for each type of present fand uses in ranges of slopes as indicated m Table 2 3 for the watershed Determination al Ihe sori conservation requirement class is made following ihe procedures adopted for Elhiopian conditions by Escobedo (1388). The tand capability classification map for Arjo-Dedessa watershed is available in Figure 2,7 The different land uses classified in the same land class unit, however they vary m the llmiling factors, are grouped under similar soil conservation requirement class For example, a grass land that is identified as class IL means; it is classified as class two land capability unit wilh major limiting factor being sol depth. A cultivated land that is identified as class llt means i| is classified as class two land capability unit with major limning factor being erosion..
