Ethiopia Water Resources Quantitative Potentials, Management Issues and Challenges. A literature Review Article Paper
Abstrak
Ethiopia is the "water tower" of East Africa. Ethiopia is blessed with a vast array of waters called "White Oil" or "Blue Oil" and has 12 major rivers and 11 large lakes. The country's maximum water supply is only 44%, the country's annual clean water capacity is 123 mm, of which only 3% remains in the country. It has a surface capacity of 54.4 bm and 2.6 bm of groundwater. In general, less than 5% of the surface water is used. It is estimated that 3.7 million hectares of land can be used for irrigation development. Water is an invaluable resource and is essential for sustainable developments and livelihoods. Ethiopia has vast potential for water resources, but it has not used water resources properly or wisely. Achieving the goals of household consumption and sustainable development, access to adequate water will contribute significantly to improved economic sectors. The main management issues and challenges are climate change, transboundary water resources conflicts, drawbacks of institutions, and water weeds.
