| dc.description.abstract | The issues regarding the supply of fresh water in Ethiopia are well - known. Many projects creating new groundwater extraction wells have therefore been carried out. Some areas are hydrogeologically complex and face groundwater quality issues , which requires more in - depth research before decisions can be made. South Omo is such an area, where mo re than 50% of the current wells are abandoned due to their sa linity. During this research, several methodologies will be put to use to gain a better u nderstanding of the hydrogeology and water quality of South Omo. These methodologies include a literature study, EC measurements in wells in the region, a geophysical survey, and radon measurements to identify interaction between surface water and groundwa ter. Afterwards, recommendations regarding possible future well locations in South Omo can be given | |
