INTRODUCTION
Increasing demand for water, higher standards of
living, depletion of resources of acceptable quality, and
excessive water pollution due to agricultural and
industrial expansions have caused intense social and
political predicaments.
Although progress has improved the quality of life, it
has caused significant environmental destruction in
such a magnitude that could not be predicted.
in the next decades development could be done in a
way that is economically and ecologically sustainable.
INTRODUCTION
We cannot answer this question unless we have a
vision of the future and our planning schemes are
environmentally responsible and sensitive toward the
major elements of our physical environment, namely
air, water, and soil. Among these elements, water is of
special importance.
Excessive use and misuse of surface and groundwater
and pollution of these vital resources by residential,
agricultural, and industrial wastewater has threatened
our well-being
INTRODUCTION
Planning for sustainable development of water
resources means:
water conservation,
waste and leakage prevention,
improved efficiency of water systems,
improved water quality,
water withdrawal and usage within the limits of the
system,
a level of water pollution within the carrying capacity
of
the streams, and water discharge from groundwater
within the safe yield of the system.

Introduction
Ethiopia has about 10 Million ha of land suitable for
irrigation and 30, 000 MW hydropower potential sites.
Out of this huge potential, about 580, 000 ha of land
including the ongoing 331,000 ha of land and about
2000 MW power
