WMO/GWP Associated Programme on Flood Management ETHIOPIA: INTEGRATED FLOOD MANAGEMENT Kefyalew Achamyeleh 1 1. Introduction Ethiopia is located in northeast Africa between 3o and 18o North latitude and 33o and 48o East longitude. Elevations range between 100 meters below and 4600 m. above sea level. It has a land area of about 1,100,000 sq. km. and a population of 65,000,000. Ethiopia has an annual flow from its rivers amounting to 122 BCM. All of this is generated within its borders. Most of this goes across to other countries. Of this flow only about 1% is utilized for power production and 1.5% for irrigation. The total irrigation potential is in the order of 3.7 Million ha. Of this only 4.3% has been developed. Exploitable hydropower potential is in the order of 160 Billion KWHRS/Year. Water Resources Assessment: Hydrology: Presently hydrological data are collected and processed on a regular manner covering all the river basins.

The study focused on mobility driven resource based conflict between the local community and their was thematically analyzed and the results showed that forced mobility is a response to climate change in which beneficiaries of GIZ run environmental conservation projects in the aforementioned areas. The collected data the communities of Kalkalsa and Finto move northward towards Yalo and Teru and Megale during periods of difficulty. On the other hand, communities of Garriro move Westwards to Amhara Region and Eastwards to Asaita and Afambo. Mobility is often attached to conflict since it comes in to play with basic resource.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacts of climate change on sediment yield from the Logiya watershed in the lower Awash Basin, Ethiopia. Here, we used the coordinated regional climate downscaling experiment (CORDEX)-Africa data outputs of Hadley Global Environment Model 2-Earth System (HadGEM2-ES) under representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Future scenarios of climate change were analyzed in two-time frames: 2020–2049 (2030s) and 2050–2079 (2060s). Both time frames were analyzed using both RCP scenarios from the baseline period (1971–2000). A Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was constructed to simulate the hydrological and the sedimentological responses to climate change.
