W-10 Improving Flood Forecasting and Early Warning in Somalia
Somalia experiences severe fl ooding in the riverine areas of the Juba and Shabelle. Increased severity and frequency of these floods have in turn led to increased economic damage and human casualties whenever these fl oods occur. This report presents technical options for the development of fl ood forecasting and early warning systems in Somalia. It is the outcome of an assessment carried out by SWALIM and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) on the Juba and Shabelle rivers for river fl ow forecasting and an assessment of Garowe and Hargeisa towns for fl ash fl ood alert systems.

L-07 Land Use Characterization of the Juba and Shabelle
Land use types in the Juba and Shabelle riverline areas were identifi ed through land cover analysis, interviews with land users and the use of past and current satellite images. The report also shows the characterisation of different land use present in the Juba and Shabelle riverine areas. Land-use classes in the study area were determined through land cover analysis, semi-structured interviews and interpretation of satellite imagery, and are described with their specifi c attributes. Users will obtain a detailed overview of land use activities in the study area.

L-07 Sifeyn Isticmaal Dhul ee Jubba iyo Shabelle
Noocyo isticmaal dhul ee gudaha gosha Webiyada Juba iyo Shabeelle aayaa la aqoonsaday iyadoo loo marayo falanqayn ded dhul, wareysiyo lala yeeshay isticmaaleyaal dhul iyo adeegsiga masawirro dayax-gacmeed oo ah waqti la soo dhaafay iyo kuwo hadda. Warbixintu waxay sidoo kale muujinaysaa kala soocista isticmaalka dhul kala duwan oo hadda ka jirta gudaha meelaha gosha Juba iyo Shabeelle. Waxaa la xaqiijiyey dabaqadaha isticmaalka dhulka gudaha aagga la daraasay iyadoo loo marayo falanqayn ded dhul, wareysiyo yara-qaabaysan iyo tarjumid sawirro dayax-gacmeed, waxaana la sharaxay sifooyinkooda u gaarka ah. Isticmaaleyaalku waxay heli doonaan muuqaal guud oo faahfaahsan oo ah hawlaha isticmaalka dhulka gudaha aagga daraasadda.

L-03 Land Cover of Selected Study Areas in Somaliland and Southern Somalia - Report No L-03
For this study, land cover classes were created using the Land Cover Classifi cation System (LCSS) of FAO, satellite image interpretation, and fi eld validation. A description of the main land cover types and vegetation units and their locations are given in detail for the two study areas – one in Somaliland and the other in Southern Somalia. The landcover maps developed from this study will be useful in the generation of land use maps and during land suitability analaysis. The report is a valuable resource in natural resources management.

L-03 Ded Dhul Aagag Daraasad loo Doortay gudaha Somaliland iyo Koonfurta Soomaaliya
Daraasaddan, waxaa lagu abuuray darajooyin ded dhul iyadoo la isticmaalayo Hab Abla-abley Ded Dhul ee FAO (Land Cover Classification System (LCSS) of FAO), tarjumaad masawirro dayax-gacmeed, iyo soo hubin duur. Sharaxaadda noocyada ded dhulka ugu muhiimsan iyo xubno dhir iyo goobahooda ayaa la bixiyay faahfaahin labadii goobood daraasadda - mid gudaha Somaliland ah iyo mid kale oo gudaha Koonfurta Soomaaliya ah. Khariidadaha dedka dhulka lagu soo saaray daraasadan waxay anfici doonaan curiyo khariidado isticmaal dhul iyo inta lagu jiro falanqayn haboonaanshiyo dhul. Warbixinta waa khayraad qiimo badan u leh maareynta khayraad dabiiciyeedka.

Land Use Characterisation of a Selected Study Areas in Somaliland - Report No L-04
The objective of this study was to characterise and map current land use in the Dur-Dur and Gebiley area of Somaliland. Land-use types were identifi ed through interpretation of land cover data, semistructured interviews and satellite image interpretation for a total area 12 939 km2. This information can be used to assist in making wise choices about land use, determining where best to locate new settlements, cropping, drainage, irrigation, where and when to apply new technologies and to respond to many other questions about management, use and conservation of the natural environment

L-02 Landform of selected study areas in Somaliland and Southern Somalia
A key outcome of this study is a new landform dataset for the selected areas of interest (AOI). The mapping of landforms was carried out at a semi detailed scale of 1:50 000 to 1:100 000 and currently constitutes the most recent, detailed and consistent dataset over large portions of the Somali territory. Landscape and relief were mapped through visual interpretation of satellite images combined with geomorphometry. The report contains two landform maps, one for each of the two study areas. The report can be used for natural resource inventory and management. It has potential applications in soil and land cover mapping and land suitability assessment.
