Water budget variability in Aba’ala marginal graben of Northern Ethiopia

Marginal grabens are the major development corridors in northern Ethiopia. Despite the growing pressure on water resources, the hydrological budget of the grabens is inadequately understood to develop better management options. The study investigates the water balance of the Aba’ala graben (553 km2) along the western margin of the Danakil depression. We established rain gauges, divers, and staff gauges to collect the required data. Climate, crop...
