Title:
Groundwater and drought in Ethiopia
code:
http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13607507
Abstract:
In 1998 the Department for International Development (DFID) funded the project ‘Groundwater drought early warning for vulnerable areas’ as part of the DFID Knowledge and Research (KaR) programme, a collaboration between UK partners BGS and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), and with the Bureau of Water, Mines and Energy in Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Drawing on village surveys and stakeholder consultations across sectors, this project evolved a broader, more holistic approach to the study of drought and water supply. Rather than focus exclusively on drought and water availability, constraints on household access to and use of water were explored through the lens of water security. This, in turn, highlighted links between the household water economy (across seasons; between good and bad years) and wider livelihood strategies, particularly in relation to inter-dependencies between food and water security.

statement:
Fieldwork took place over 3 weeks in the South Wollo zone of Amhara. Meetings were held with a range of stakeholders at federal, regional, zonal and woreda level, as well as at the community - household level. In each community semi structured interviews were conducted with a range of individuals at water points. Some physical data were also collected for the major water source of each community. The basic chemistry of the water was tested, including pH and electrical conductivity and major ion samples for analysis in the laboratory. The methodology used to collect the samples and associated data is described in full in Calow, R.C.; MacDonald, A.M.; Nicol, A.L.; Robins, N.S.; Kebede, S.. 2006 The struggle for water: drought, water security and rural livelihoods.
