Hydro met Bulletin September 2026

During October, most parts of the Tekeze, Abay, Mereb-Gashe, Awash, Baro-Akobo, Omo-Gibe, Upper and Middle Rift Valley, Upper Wabi-Shebelle, and Genale-Dawa basins are expected to experience wet to very wet moisture conditions. The anticipated rainfall is likely to enhance the replenishment of rivers, reservoirs, wetlands, and other surface-water resources. The resulting increase in runoff and reservoir inflows may improve water availability for hydropower generation, domestic and other water-supply services, and large- and small-scale irrigation activities. These favorable moisture conditions are also expected to support the continued availability and utilization of water resources across the affected basins.
