Where are we now? and expectations
Located in the Horn of Africa,
Ethiopia is a landlocked country of some 1,104,300km2.
The capital Addis Ababa lies in the central highlands at an
altitude of 2,300m. (you may feel breathless).
HQ for AU is also in Addis Ababa

ETHIOPIA HAS 12 RIVER BASINS Annual runoff from the 9 river basins 122BM3
(Abbay 53%, Baro Akobo 24%) (ABBAY and BARO-AKOBO
CONTRIBUTE 77%) Omo-Ghibe 18% The Remaining other River Basins
contributes <10% Groundwater Potential of 36 BM3
(…WATER RESOURCES POTENTIAL OF ETHIOPIA)
The Nile basin (including Abbay or Blue Nile, Baro-Akobo, Setit-Tekeze/Atbara and Mereb) covers 33 percent of the country and drains the northern and central parts westwards;
The Shebelli-Juba basin (including Wabi-Shebelle and Genale-Dawa) covers 33 percent of the country and drains the southeastern mountains towards Somalia and the Indian Ocean;
The Rift Valley (including Awash, Denakil, Omo-Gibe and Central Lakes) covers 28 percent of the country;
The North-East Coast (including the Ogaden and Gulf of Aden basins) covers 6 percent of the country.

Water Sector
Policies and Strategy
Develop the countries water resources on equitable and sustainable way to assure highest economic and social benefits;
Bring about efficient utilization, and equitable water allocation and distribution embracing sustainability of water resources through all inclusive and integrated water resource management plan with effective water sharing principles;
Mitigation and prevention of drought effects by efficiently and suitably developing and use of the water resources in accordance with the countries strategic plan;
Prevent and control flood disaster by taking sustainable, preventive, rehabilitative and other similar measures;
Sustainable prevention, conservation and development of water resources and its general environment;
Irrigation and Drainage
Sub Sector
Irrigation development works beneficial for long time and sustainability;
Develop and distribute standards, manuals and systems assuring that irrigation farms and systems sustainable operation and maintenance are satisfactorily monitored and improved;
Create appropriate conditions to adopt low cost technologies; amide in increasing irrigation efficiency
Give priority for multipurpose irrigation development projects;
Draw and implement working procedures and systems for sustainability of finance sources and feasibility of medium and large scale projects;
Hydropower Sub Sector
Integrated and successive assurance of study of hydro power generation
projects whose feasibility is assured to implement them as soon as fund is secured;
Consider hydropower development projects inseparable and part to other
multi sector development projects so as to minimize the unit cost of production;
Identify hydropower potential
Encourage local consultants and contractors to participate in the design,
construction and management of hydropower generation; Study and design of medium and large scale hydropower development;
License those who like to involve in hydropower development projects; Control water related constructions.
