(Seasonal Hydro-meteorlogical)
Ethiopia is located between latitudes of 3.8°N to 14.5°N and longitudes of 33°E to 48°E with an
area of about 1.12 million km2. The varied topography of the country shows extreme changes in
altitude with its lowest point at about 120meters below sea level (Kobat Sink Afar depression)
and its highest point about 4620 meters above sea level (Ras dashen.).These physographic
variations create a large difference in meteorological and hydrological condition both by time
and space.
