“…Daily transpiration (Tri) can be converted into daily above‐ground biomass production (Bi) (Equation ()) by using daily ET 0 and water productivity (Wp) for the evaporation demand of crops and the atmosphere (Heng et al 2009; Haile, 2022b):

Bi = Wp ((), \frac{Tri}{{ET}_{0, i}})

The assessment of land suitability is the key to sustained agricultural output. This study evaluates the suitability of land for irrigated sugar cane cultivation and crop water requirements in the Kuraz Irrigation Scheme, Ethiopia. To accomplish this, the geographic information system–analytical hierarchy process (GIS–AHP) tool combination was employed to identify land suitability classes and aid in decision‐making using various factors, such as soil pH, texture, temperature, rainfall, land use–land cover and slope. The AquaCrop model simulated the current and future scenarios for biomass, canopy cover, yield, maximum evapotranspiration and evapotranspiration water productivity for sugar cane crops. AquaCrop was calibrated for irrigated sugar cane in the 2015–2016 crop season, and the results showed that most of the study area is highly suitable for sugar cane cultivation. Highly suitable areas cover 28%, moderately suitable areas 38%, marginally suitable areas 21%, and unsuitable areas 13%. The findings indicate the potential for expanding sugar cane cultivation and increasing yields and profits. However, it is crucial to consider the potential environmental degradation caused by water usage and soil degradation resulting from agricultural expansion. Furthermore, the social implications of expanding sugar cane cultivation should also be considered, including labour practices and the possible displacement of local communities.

“…For this purpose, geomatics tools combined with a multi-criteria analysis using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used for the prospection and evaluation of potential groundwater areas in the rural commune of Loumbila in order to facilitate the management of drilling facilities. Previous studies have proven the effectiveness of this approach for the assessment of potential groundwater areas, such as: Selvam et al, 2015;Haile, 2022;Hyann, 2015;Vaddadi Natraj et al, 2023;Shuhang Li, Mohamed Abdelkareem, 2023;Avdullahi & Hajra, 2023;Priya et al, 2022. With the help of the literature review, as well as data availability for the region, the following natural factors have been selected and used as decision criteria in the studies mentioned above, thus guiding the analysis in the current paper: precipitation, soil types, fracture network density, land use, slope, hydrogeology, alterity thickness and drainage density.…”

The objective of this study is to identify and map potential groundwater resource areas in the rural commune of Loumbila in order to assess the potential water accessibility in the area. A spatial data analysis was applied to identify potential groundwater resource areas for drilling. To this end, geomatics tools (Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing) and a multi-criteria analysis using the Analysis Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique were deployed. A total of eight (decision) factors with a strong influence on the groundwater storage potential (i.e., soil types, fracture network density, land use, slope, hydrogeology, alterity thickness and drainage density, precipitation) were selected and mapped. An appropriate weight has been assigned to each factor, which were further normalized using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on the analysis, the rural commune of Loumbila was qualitatively classified into five groundwater potential zones: very low, low, medium, high and very high groundwater potential. The results obtained show that 9.80% (14.75 km2), 22.02% (33.16 km2), 30.68% (46.19 km2), 18.47% (27.81 km2) and 19.03% (28.65 km2) of the rural municipality of Loumbila have very high, high, medium, low and very low groundwater potential, respectively. The groundwater potential mapping aims to identify the areas with the highest potential for the sustainable management of groundwater resources, enabling informed decisions to be taken for its management and conservation.

The univariate analysis of hydrological extremes is a well-established practice in developing countries such as Ethiopia. However, for the design of hydrological and hydraulic systems, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of flood event characteristics, including volumes, peaks, time of occurrence, and duration. This study utilizes copula functions for bivariate modeling of flood peak and volume characteristics, examining the performance of four Archimedean copulas in the Guder basin located in Ethiopia from 1987 to 2017. Flood peak and volume were extracted using the theory of runs for analysis of their joint characteristics with the truncation level chosen as equal to the lowest annual maximum event. Univariate distributions with the best fitness on both variables were determined, and results showed that gamma and GEV-fitted flood peaks and lognormal-fitted flood volumes are the most suitable. Four Archimedean copulas were evaluated, and the Gumbel-Hougaard copula was found to be the best fit for the data based on graphical and measurable tests. Bivariate probability and return period were computed in “AND” and “OR” states. The joint return period for flood peak (97.49 m3/s) and volume (77.35 m3/s) was found to be 15 years in the “AND” state and approximately 4 years in the “OR” state. The study also evaluates univariate and conditional return periods, comparing them with the primary one. The copula method was an effective method for distributing marginal variables, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool in flood management.
