Climate change and pumping threaten groundwater supply in Ethiopia's Golina Basin.
Groundwater flow modeling in Hormat-Golina Sub-basin, Ethiopia, shows how climate change and human activities affect groundwater levels. The study found that increased pumping and decreased recharge rates led to a drop in groundwater levels, while reducing pumping and increasing recharge rates helped restore and protect groundwater resources. The research highlights the importance of managing groundwater sustainably to ensure future water availability.
