Chapter 2 Groundwater Occurrence in Regions and Basins 2.1 The Broad (Oligo-Miocene) Volcanic Plateau and Associated Shields Geology and Stratigraphy The broad volcanic plateau (Fig. 1.2) accounts for about 25 % of Ethiopian land- mass. The Ethiopian volcanic plateau is a thick monotonous, rapidly erupted pile of locally deformed, flat lying basalts consisting of a number of volcanic centers with different magmatic character and with a large range of ages. The trap volcanics including the associated shield volcanoes cover an area at least 6 9 105 km2 (around two-third surface of the country), and a total volume estimated to be at least 3.5 9 105 km3 (Mohr 1983) and probably higher than 1.2 9 106 km3 according to Rochette et al. (1998). Flat-topped hills and nearly horizontal lava flows is a common scene in the broad volcanic plateau. Topographic features of the basaltic plateau are vertical cliffs, waterfalls, V-shaped valleys, vertical and mushroom-like outcrops of columnar basalts, and step-like hill terraces.

The region comprises of nine administrative zones which in terms of livelihoods are categorised into 17 livelihood zones. The climate is mostly arid/semi-arid in lowland areas and cooler/wetter in the higher areas. Annual rainfall ranges from 150 - ~600mm per year. The region can be divided into two broader rainfall regimes based on the seasons of the year: Siti and Fafan zones to the north, and the remaining seven zones to the south. The rainfall pattern for both is bimodal but the timings differ slightly. The southern seven zones (Nogob, Jarar, Korahe, Doollo, Shabelle, Afder, Liban and Harshin District of Fafan Zone) receive ‘Gu’ rains (main season) from mid April to end of June, and secondary rains known as ‘Deyr’ from early October to late December. In the north, Siti and Fafan zones excluding Harshin of Fafan zone receive ‘Dirra’ - Objectives of the assessment also known as ‘Gu’ rains from late March To evaluate the outcome of the Deyr/Karan to late May.

To transport food aid, the World Food Programme (WFP) primarily contracts with third-party transport carriers in markets that are not well understood. We analyze historical contracts between the WFP in Ethiopia and private carriers using multiple linear regression to gain insights in these markets. Analyses of bids and contracts in Ethiopia show that distance alone explains less than 20% of the variability in effective transportation tariffs. By incorporating additional variables for linehaul costs, market structure measures and socio- economics factors, we obtain a model that explains more than 84% of the variability for the international corridors and 78% for the domestic lanes.
