Abstract

A highly seasonal and erratic rainfall pattern (Chap. 3) provokes general water scarcity in Dogu’a Tembien for eight months a year. This chapter shortly describes the hydrogeological context and hydrodynamics of actual surface and groundwater flow of the mountain catchments around Hagere Selam. Further, some positive effects of water harvesting techniques on the water availability are shown.
