Modeling the influence of climate variability and environmental change on hydrology, irrigation and farming systems in Awash River Basin of Ethiopia

Abstract

This dataset includes three types of data. The first data is an excel sheet with meteorological data and the second is an excel sheet of questionnaire data. The third type is a satellite image used to classify and map the land-use change in the Awash River Basin of Ethiopia. The meteorological data include rainfall, temperature, and streamflow data. The rainfall, temperature, and streamflow data was used in chapter 2, chapter 4, and chapter 5. The excel sheet with meteorological data represents the daily rainfall, maximum-minimum temperature, and streamflow data from different stations in the Awash River Basin of Ethiopia. The rows show the time (days) in each station while the columns show station names in the basin. The excel sheet of questionnaire data indicates the survey data collected from three locations at Awash River Basin (Upper, Middle, and Lower). The columns show the questions incorporated in the survey and the rows represent the responses obtained from participants in each site. The questionnaire data was used in chapter 6. The satellite data indicates the Awash River Basin satellite image in 2018 which is used for land-use classification and mapping of ARB in chapter 3. The Awash River Basin is located at a latitude of 7°53´N–12°N and longitudes of 37°57E´–43°25´E.
