Addis Ababa’s water crisis: challenges and opportunities
- Abstract:
- Addis Ababa’s water supply is insufficient to meet current needs, leading to intermittent water supplies which are increasing inequalities in water access depending on access to household storage and finances to develop private wells. Proposals to expand surface water storage will not fully meet the growing demand from the population and expanding industries. Groundwater depletion, land for expanding reservoir storage, water quality and unreliable energy supplies limit opportunities for increasing water provision. Action is needed now to better monitor and manage groundwater use, and to improve the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater to support sustainability for Addis Ababa’s water supplies.
