Summary
T Excess sedimentation of man-made water bodies (fish ponds, reservoirs and dams) through rivers running in different catchments is a significant problem worldwide. Multiple geomorphic processes generate sediment, with water acting as the primary erosion, transport, and deposition agent (Figure 1). C is one of those affected catchments and one of the land resources of great economic importance for Ethiopia. It provides water for a cascade of the Gibe hydroelectric power plants (Figure 2), namely GIBE I (operating), GIBE II (operating), GIBE III (operating), GIBE IV (under study) and GIBE V (under study) that help the country in self-satisfying in hydroelectric power in the country, Ethiopia [1]. Poor land management practices coupled with the rugged topography and erosive rainfall regime in the area pose major threats both to the livelihood of the farmers and the life span of the dam because of siltation. River bank degradation (Figure 3) is one major point of sediment generation and transport, which is subsequent to the decrease of their storage capacity and which, in
