Rainfall-discharge relationships for a monsoonal climate in the Ethiopian highlands.

The article provides information on a study that presented a simple rainfall-discharge analysis for the Andit Tid, Anjeni, and Maybar watersheds of northern Ethiopia. A hydrologic data collected from the three research stations in the Amhara National Regional State was used in the study. It was found that temporal dynamics play an important role in the hydrologic behaviour of the watersheds. It shows that the saturation excess mechanism, despite the different rainfall patterns between the three watersheds, is the main reason that the runoff behaviour is similar.
