Result 1 221 Indicator development process point 2 1 The indicators developed during the WME work since June 2009 have undergone several adjustments A final set of indicators were agreed upon during the M amp E short term consultant inputs in 2009 However practice during the B1 component implementation has shown that some of the indicators were challenging at the Woreda level where the data from Community Watershed implementation is collected and compiled The challenges related to e g the units in which certain indicator data was collected being different from those used for reporting Other challenges related to the splitting of implementation activities between various land types As a result of these observations the WME team has facilitated a revision of output level indicators including the shifting of certain output level indicators into outcome indicators The indicators are shown in Tables 1 6 Goal indicators have not been changed Table 1 Goal indicators at 30 9 2010 GOAL and DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE indicators 30 9 2010 Baseline Status Description or explanation Note Data at recorded Per capita income growth of 3 to 4 per annum of population below poverty line continues to fall by approximately 2 5 units per ann Household income rises by 75 in real terms 4 000 to 7 000 between 2008 and 2018 80 000 ha of vulnerable Tana sub basin micro watersheds rehabilitated and well managed

55. 5 4 The transit rate rate for traversing the depth of water twice can be calculated by dividing two times the Depth by the Time to Fill Thus if V 0 3 m s the transit time T is 41 seconds If the stream depth is 0 5 metres the transit rate is 2 x 0 5 41 0 02 m s In practice it is difficult to be sure you are traversing the flow depth at the correct rate The important thing is that at the end of the traverse the bottle should not be over full and discharging or under full e Other sub sections should then be sampled It is important to use the same transit rate as was used in the first sub section So in subsequent samples where the depth is shallower and the discharge is lower the bottle will not be filled and a smaller sample will be collected This is how a discharge weighted sample is obtained This technique is called the Equal Width Increment EWI method e The samples should be aggregated into one sample container labelled and sent to the laboratory for analysis e Samples should be labelled as follows Qc OUO OTONO Site Date Time Sub section number Bottle number of Total no of bottles Staff gauge height Initials of sampler ANNEX 3 REVIEW OF SUB WATERSHED OUTLETS REVIEW OF SUB WATERSHED OUTLETS 1 INTRODUCTION In the period between the first and second inputs of the short term consultant hydrologist project stakeholders have re affirmed their intention to establish hydr

60. CEDURE FOR USE OF THE DH 48 SUSPENDED SEDIMENT SAMPLER 1 INTRODUCTION The objective of suspended sediment sampling is to determine the instantaneous mean discharge weighted suspended sediment concentration at a cross section This is done by collecting a mean discharge weighted suspended sediment sample The DH 48 is a depth integrating suspended sediment sampler The DH 48 can be used to obtain a mean discharge weighted suspended sediment sample The suspended sediment concentration can be combined with the discharge to compute the measured suspended sediment discharge 2 CHOICE OF CROSS SECTION Choose a cross section as close as possible to the gauging station that is as rectangular as possible where the depth of water is as uniform as possible across the section and flow is moving in downstream direction parallel to the riverbanks Sediment sampling is often carried out at cross sections where current meter measurements are made Avoid for both types of measurement e Sites where there is active bank erosion e Sites where there are backwater effects from for example a downstream obstruction such as a tree or rock bar e Sites downstream of tributaries unless you are trying to include the tributary inflow e Bridges with piers because of extra turbulence and potentially higher suspended sediment concentrations Note that suspended sediment is not like flow where the flow through any cross section is the same Some sediment may be

In the Lot 1 also crest stage gauges were purchased and installed at two MMP stations Station 2 and 11 to test this method of calculating high flow discharges The method has not been previously used in Ethiopia and will provide excellent experience for the hydrological monitoring in Ethiopia where high flow measurements have been problematic due to the extreme flash floods and rapid variations in water level and the lack of staff to continuously monitor large cableway stations od 9 Beles WME 2 Review of the past quarter Jul Sep 2010 against Work Plan and Results 21 Project management point 1 in WP The Project Management Team PMT has continued to meet every Monday 1 2 16 By the end of September 2010 altogether 70 PMT meetings have been held since the beginning of the project The PMT meetings have been with the principle of max one hour duration and one page minutes to be signed by all the meeting participants The Regional Technical Committee RTC did not meet during the quarter However Regional Steering Committee RST met on 19 August to assess the overall performance of the project and endorsed the third year project budget and inclusion of new community watersheds Based on the RST decisions project Woredas were engaged with full capacity in planning of new community watersheds since August to include all micro watersheds as part of project beneficiaries 22 Indicator finalization and Baseline studies
