The five SWCs from the independent field samples almost passed through the SWC trend of the CRNS, the root mean square error (RMSE) was 0.011 m3 m−3 for the CRNS and oven-drying method.
The number of colonies exhibiting bleaching by site ranged from zero at CV2, RR and SWC to seven at GB.
However, The MK showed that no clear trend of annual maximum precipitation can be found over SWC, only seven are negative and twenty-six is positive at above the 90% confidence level, and scattered in SWC province.
Four distributions systems in SWC supplied water to one LGA only, other systems, on average, supplied to four LGAs (min 2, max 16).
SWC data were not available in some sites Fig. 7 Normalized wavelet cospectra between evapotranspiration (ET) and major climate variables (vapor pressure deficit (VPD), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), air temperature (T a), and soil water content (SWC)) at ten forest sites.
Half-hourly data were used in the analysis Fig. 6 Normalized wavelet cospectra between net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) and major climate variables (vapor pressure deficit (VPD), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), air temperature (T a), and soil water content (SWC)) at ten forest sites.
Most farmers were still involved in SWC activities even two years after project withdrawal, without receiving any incentive.
Nearly 60% of the soil loss in the Blue Nile Basin can be prevented with successful implementation of SWC in only four zones (south Wollo, east Gojam, south Gonder and north Shewa (R3; Table 4)).
Only Thirty-three of 116 stations show significant trends above the 90% confidence level, of which seven are negative and twenty-six is positive, they are scattered in SWC province, which show slight increasing trend of annual maximum precipitation with 22.4% of the stations over SWC, no distinct decreasing signal can be found here.
