Supply and discharge dynamics of traditional irrigation canals around Mt. Kilimanjaro

DOI

The discharge of canals was measured at 11 locations along an altitudinal gradient on the southern slopes of Mt.Kilimanjaro. Selected canals were mapped to understanding their distribution, physical characteristics, and potential risks that limits their optimal discharge. Terrain attributes were derived from the Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and soil physical and hydraulic conductivity were measured to understand permeability and stability of the soil.
