PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This study's main objective is to evaluate the surface and groundwater potential in the Borena zone using water balance analysis. Additionally, the study aims to identify different water demands and estimate the total demand and supply in the sub basin. The research will use socio-economic study and develop water use conflict management strategies based on the socio-economic characteristics of the users. Furthermore, the study will examine the quality of both surface and groundwater for all water resources. Ultimately, the research will develop adaptation options that ensure the sustainable and equitable utilization of the available resources. Furthermore, the study will analyze the quality of surface and groundwater sources to ensure their suitability for various uses. Ultimately, this research aims to propose practical adaptation strategies that support the sustainable and equitable utilization of water resources in the region.
