- Title
- Land Cover of Hawassa-Zeway Watershed, 1984
- Abstract
This layer represents the 1984 land cover of part of the Hawass-Zeway watershed. The watershed is part of the Rift valley Lakes basin within Ethiopia.
Landsat 5 images from 1984 were used to derive the land cover data using object-oriented image classification.
This data was created to support the “Natural Resources Conservation and Development Activities”. It targets the conservation and sustainable use of the forest-related resources within the Hawassa-Zeway Watersheds. These resources are of the highest importance for this part of the rift valley lakes basin. It is an important area from economic, social and environmental points of view. These watersheds require integrated forest-related resources management in order to conserve and sustainably use the land and water resources of the watersheds.
The Land Cover Classification system consists of ten land cover categories (forest, woodland, degraded forest, shrub, grass, irrigation, lake, swamp, wet grass, and bu...
