This is true in Ethiopia. Groundwater has multiple roles in river basins. It serves as source of water for socioeconomic activity, it maintains river flows during dry seasons and it could be the main pathway for solute and heat migration. In existing Awash Basin Master Plan groundwater is not accounted as one of the factor for increasing and imposing stress on existing surface water resources. There is increasing discussion among policymakers to learn more about the role of groundwater in the Awash Basin Hydrology. Through multiple methods, namely stable isotope of water (2H and 18O), isotope of Radon (222Rn), piezometeric evidences as well as field physico-chemical characteristics, investigation of groundwater surface water interaction along the main channel of Awash River has been carried out. The analysis of isotopic compositions of groundwaters from Upper Awash generally signifies, the groundwaters have similar isotopic composition to that of the present day rainfall. Whereas from middle and Lower Awash groundwaters here are mostly of older origin- because of lack of 14C data estimating the age of groundwater in the lower Awash Basin was not possible. From 222Rn measurements groundwater discharge into the river is observed, in Upper Awash, in the lower and middle Awash. There are some specific spots where groundwater discharge is noticed in the lower and middle Awash (e.g. around irrigation areas of-Wonji, Metahara and Amibara; and along thermal spring discharge zones downstream-e.g. Meteka). The Pizeometeric evidence also supports this observation. In which Upper Awash is generally a gaining river and the downstream river segments are generally loosing. Most of groundwater loss that occur in the lower part of Awash, takes place between Amibara and Mile and groundwater flows towards North Easterly direction and probably discharges into Lake Abe or into the sea or into other lower areas in Ethiopia. Evidences form various methods clearly indicate the presence of aquifer hydraulic link in the basin. This work generally showed that deep groundwater in the middle and Lower Awash can be considered as separate water resources, whereas, deep groundwaters in Upper Awash are hydraulically connected to Awash River. Therefore, areas where this interaction taking place is mapped based on the obtained results. This has a practical implication in finding way for water resource management, which can solve the current unbalanced usage of water resource.

  • Afar: Insecurity and Delayed Rains Threaten Livestock and People
    EMERGENCIES UNIT FOR UNITED NATIONS ETHIOPIA (UN-EUE) Afar: insecurity and delayed rains threaten livestock and people Assessment Mission: 29 May – 8 June 2002 François Piguet, Field Officer, UN-Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia 1 Introduction and background 1.1 Animals are now dying The Objectives of the mission were to assess the situation in the Afar Region following recent clashes between Afar and Issa and Oromo pastoralists, and focus on security and livestock movement restrictions, wate r and environmental issues, the marketing of livestock as well as “chronic” humanitarian issues. Special attention has been given to all southern parts of Afar region affected by recent ethnic conflicts and erratic small rains, which initiated early pastoralists movements in zone 3 & 5. The assessment also took into account various food security issues, including milk availability while also looking at limited water resources in Eli Daar woreda (Zone 1), where particularly remote kebeles1 suffer from water shortage. High concentrations of animals have been noticed in several locations of Afar region during the current dry season. The most important reason for the present humanitarian emergency crisis in parts of Afar Region and surroundings are the various ethnic conflicts among the Issa, the Kereyu, the Afar and the Ittu. These Dead camel in Doho, Awash-Fantale (photo Francois Piguet conflicts forced pastoralists to change UN-EUE, July 2002 their usual migration patterns and most importantly were denied access to either traditional water points and wells or grazing areas or both together. On top of this rather complex and confuse conflict situation, rains have now been delayed by more than two weeks most likely all over Afar Region and is now causing livestock deaths.

  • Sero-Prevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneu- Monia in Goat at Selected Woredas of Afar Region
    Sero-Prevalence of Contagious Caprine Pleuropneu- monia in Goat at Selected Woredas of Afar Region Feyesa Regassa1* Misrak Netsere1, Tefera Tsertse2, 1 Jimma University, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, School of Veteri- nary Medicine, P. O. Box 307, Jimma, Ethiopia * Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 National Animal Health diagnostic and Investigation Center Abstract A cross - sectional survey was conducted from 17 Oct. to 11 Dec. 2008 with the aim of determining the sero-prevalence and the major risk factors of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) in the selected eight districts of Afar region namely: Afambo, Assaita, Dubti, Mille, Gewane, Amibara, Dewe and Telalak. During the study a total of 329 goat sera, was examined for the presence of specific antibod- ies against Mycoplasma capricolum sub. spp. capripneumoniae using CFT. The result revealed that 22.49% (74) prevalence rate. With respect to goats origin, the serological prevalence rates was 31.85%, 36.36%, 18.75%, 12.50%, 12.16%, 10%, 22.22%, and 19.56% from Afambo, Assaita, Dubti, Mille, Gewane, Amibara, Dewe and Telalak districts respectively. The result indicated that there is significant dif- ference (P < 0.05) in sero positive rate among the different districts. The considered risk factors, age (P<0.05, χ2=7.8792) and sex (P<0.05, χ2=5.9661) were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of CCPP in the study population. In conclusion the present study indicated that the over all prevalence of CCPP in Afar region is high. The study underlines the importance of further epidemiologi- cal study of the disease and its associated risk factors, and implementation of ap- propriate preventive and control measures.

Schutz Edition Open Access Development Team Lindy Divarci, Sylvia Szenti, Klaus Thoden The Edition Open Access (EOA) platform was founded to bring together publication ini­ tiatives seeking to disseminate the results of scholarly work in a format that combines tra­ ditional publications with the digital medium. It currently hosts the open­access publica­ tions of the “Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge” (MPRL) and “Edition Open Sources” (EOS). EOA is open to host other open access initia­ tives similar in conception and spirit, in accordance with the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the sciences and humanities, which was launched by the Max Planck Society in 2003. By combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium, the platform offers a new way of publishing research and of studying historical topics or current issues in relation to primary materials that are otherwise not easily available. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They are directed at scholars and students of various disciplines, as well as at a broader public interested in how science shapes our world.
