Hydrogeological framework of Upper Awash River basin, Ethiopia

Integrated approach has been used to investigate the hydrogeological framework of a complex fractured volcanic aquifer system in the Upper Awash river basin located at the western shoulder of the Ethiopian rift. The groundwater flow system and mechanism of recharge of different aquifers have been studied using conventional hydrogeological field investigations, hydrochemistry, isotope hydrology and numerical groundwater flow modeling techniques.

Dr. Andarge ( P.Geo)is a senior hydrogeologist with a wide range of practical and development oriented research experience in water resources and environmental development for more than a decade. Dr. Andarge pursued his graduate and postgraduate studies in Ethiopia and France. He addressed various forums on hydrogeology and related issues.
