| Popis: | In several areas of the world, water distribution influences the local development. In the volcano-tectonic depressions of the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) many perennial rivers and lakes are present and constitute an important resource for agriculture, livestock, fishery, soda abstraction, human health and local ecosystems. This paper focuses on the analysis of the temporal and spatial variations of water surface of the lakes in the central Ethiopian Rift in relations to precipitation climatology, in order to better understand the effective role of the climate in the water resources modification in respect to human factor. This should help to establish correct water management practice and implement integrated water management for the protection of lakes in reason of their impacts on the lifestyles of intended beneficiaries like farmers, fishermen, and domestic water consumers. The employed approach and integrated different satellite data (Landsat and NASA-TRMM) in order to generate a proper database for the analysis of the seasonal movements according to climatological variations. |
