Wetlands International Facilitation of a Training and Development of a Manual on Integrated Catchment Management, Wetlands Restoration & CR WASH Jobs in Ethiopia
Purpose of the Terms of ReferenceCatchment area can be defined as the A drainage basin or catchment basin is an extent or an area of land where all surface water from precipitation converges to a single point at a lower elevation, where the stream joins another body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea, or ocean.
A catchment is a hydrological area where all surface water converges to a single exit point at a lower elevation, Also defined as an area from which surface runoff is carried away by a single drainage system.Catchments can be defined based upon a number of factors, including distance to the facility, actual travel time to the facility, geographic boundaries or population within the catchment.
In a distance based catchment, the area serviced will often depend on the number of visits expected to that institution by each individual.
The study of erosion and sediment yield from catchment is of utmost importance as the deposition of sediment in reservoir reduces its capacity, thus affectin
g the water available for the designated use. The eroded sediment from catchment when deposited on streambeds and banks causes braiding of river reach.
The removal of top fertile soil from catchment adversely affects the agricultural production and silt laden water affect the turbine blades thereby affect the
hydro power production.
Another important factor that adds to the sediment load is due to grazing of animals. A large number of cattle, sheep, and goats graze the pastures continuously for about six months in a mountainous region.
