Morphometric Analysis of Ethiopia Water Drainage Basins

Abstract: Due to the domestic use of the river water, the rivers have become highly contaminated and is currently not a clean source for drinkable water. This provides a need to find an alternative source of clean, drinkable water. We focused on the highland catchment areas to derive the needed drinkable water in hope this would relieve the Ethiopian people's needs. This work is made of six chosen drainage sub-basins of Ethiopia seeking for clean water resource. The study shows that these sub-basins receive abundant volumes of water that reaches an average between 0.78 billion to 10.02 billion cubic meters annually. To use this water properly this morphometric analysis seeks to find the optimum location for constructing dams.
