Project description
Ethiopia, particularly Jimma area, faces drinking water supply scarcity relying solely on surface water supply. This study tackles the lack of detailed investigations into alternative sources like groundwater, examining aquifer structure, hydraulic parameters, and hydrogeochemical processes. Essential data, including lithological logs and water chemistry, enhance understanding for future studies, serving as a valuable reference.
