摘要
Andit tid watershed is part of Blue Nile basin located in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The lack of data and information at watershed level resulted in different conclusions from trend studies of river flow, sediment yield and crop productivity at a basin scale. There is an opportunity to improve water and land if it can be underpinned by a better scientific understanding of trends of flow, sediment yield and crop production at the basin level. This research is carried out using descriptive statistics, Mann-Kendall (MK) and Pettit's test to determine the potential trends of river flow, sediment yield and crop productivity using Andit tid watershed case. The result showed that there was high variability of interannual river flow with CV >30%. The Pettitt test showed a significant abrupt change in monthly (March, July, August, September and October) and seasonal (summer and winter) river flow. The Pettitt test result of sediment yield and crop production showed no change. MK test showed a significant (P < 0.05) decreasing trend in March, August, September and October river flow. The other MK values showed no significant trends for all parameters. Researchers should consider representative watershed-based information and data for the analysis and interpretation of large basins.
