Forecast information indicates that during the upcoming month of December, most parts of the country’s basins will remain under the influence of the dry Bega season. On the other hand, in limited areas such as Baro-Akobo, the middle and lower Omo-Gibe, Genale-Dawa, and the middle Abay basins, relatively better surface water flow is expected. It is recommended that these favorable conditions be utilized by preparing and implementing various water-harvesting methods in advance, in order to enhance and improve water storage. Conversely, due to the expected high temperatures in several areas, the inflow to dams and other water bodies is likely to decrease. Therefore, in locations prone to water shortages, it is essential to use water efficiently and to implement measures that reduce the pressures and challenges associated with potential water scarcity.
