Resource mapping of the Kabe Watershed Pilot Project in Ethiopia, 2011-2013

  1. Resource mapping of the Kabe Watershed Pilot Project in Ethiopia, 2011-2013 Bekele Abebe and Mickias Woldesellassie (Wollo University) Workshop on the lessons and success stories from a pilot project on climate change adaptation interventions in Kabe watershed, south Wollo, Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, 11-12 February 2013
  2. Objectives • To produce different thematic maps – Watershed/Catchment delineation map – Landuse /Land cover map – Water resources (distribution of springs, wells, rivers...) maps – Soil types, Lithological/Structural maps – Human and livestock population density map – Agroclamatic zones/Altitude maps – Climate change- rainfall and temperature trends/projections maps
  3. Methodology • Satellite Data – Office Work – Ground Truthing – Reinterpretation
  4. Some of the maps generated
  5. • Watershed level  Assumption:  In 1 House= 5 people lives
  6. Elevation Map • Both 30m DTED and 20m Contours used. • Fall in the same agroclimatic zones
  7. Soil Map • Sampling • Remote Sensing
  8. Landuse Landcover Map • Landsat? • QuickBird Image
  9. Water Resource Distribution Map • Hand held GPS is used to collect every water resource sites
  10. Average Total Rainfall Trend
  11. Average Temperature Trend
  12. Challenges • Size of the area • Climatic data gaps and Lack of Enough Data • Historical Gage (River, Stream Yield) data
