Groundwater in Ethiopia, 2013 Features, Numbers and Opportunities Springer Hydrogeology Series
Auteur : Kebede Seifu
a) For the first time the basement aquifer of Ethiopia has been described hydrogeologically based on genesis of regoliths (deep weathering and striping history); clear regional difference in groundwater potential is shown for the first time; comparative accounty has been given regarding groundwater occurrence in the generally low grade basement rocks of Ethiopia (Arabian Nubian shield) and high grade basement rocks of the rest of Africa.
b) For the first time groundwater occurrence in multilayred sedimentary rocks account for spatial variation in degree of karstification; deformation history, and stratigraphy.
c) The vast volcanic aquifers of Ethiopia which have previously classified based on their ages are now reclassified based on age, morphology (eg. groundwater in plateau volcanics, groundwater in shield volcanics) and aquifer structure.
d) The loose alluvio lacustrine sediments which were known as least extensive in previous works based on areal cover are in fact shown to host the most voluminous groundwater resources in Ethiopia. These aquifers have now been described based on their geomorphology, extent, and genesis.
The aim of this book is to use these newly created knowledge to redefine the understanding of groundwater resources in Ethiopia.
Comprehensive analysis of groundwater resources in Ethiopia
The book fills a much needed knowledge gap for policy making and for practitioners
Regional differences in groundwater potential are shown for the first time
