1. BackgroundEthiopia has abundant water resources, but they have yet to contribute more than a fraction of their potential to achieving the national economic & social dev’t goals (MoWR, 2002).
The primary water resource management challenges (World Bank, 2006):
its extreme hydrological variability & seasonality &
the international nature of its most significant surface water resources
Runoff patterns in the Omo Gibe river basin have changed over the last twenty years

Background cont...forests & vegetation have been cleared
hydraulically developed
Hence, not be enough to sustain a healthy ecological env’t in the d/n sections of the Omoriver
to alleviate some of the conflicts of interest b/nmaximum power prodn & sufficient water availability for the local popn
all aspects of the water resources of the Basin need to be measured, estimated or simulatedto make effective & economically viable plans for sustainable future developments.

Background cont...New strategies for effective use of the water in the basin are needed for water development & management
• to avert water scarcities that could depress d/susers & damage the environment
A large share of water to meet new demands must come from water saved from existing uses through a comprehensive reform of water policy
Integrated management is the primary approach to addressing sustainable water resources, both for subsystem & river basin level

Specific objectivesThe specific objectives of the proposed study are
To simulate runoff & inflow to the reservoirs in the Omo river basin using the SWAT model.
To develop & recommend optimal dam & reservoir operation rule curves for cascade dams & reservoirs, more soundly based on evaluating the feasibility of various reservoir operating alternatives.
To evaluate the effects of various reservoir operating alternatives on either preventing flooding or avoiding precarious low flow at locations d/s of the reservoirs.

1 Introduction
• SDSM- produces high resolution climate change scenarios,
• enables the production of climate change time series at sites for which there are sufficient daily data for model calibration,
• General Circulation Model (GCM) output to generate scenarios,
• used as a stochastic weather generator or to infill gaps in meteorological data.
2. Methodology
• 7-steps
1. Quality control & data transformation;
2. Screening of potential downscaling predictor variables;
3. Model calibration;
4. Generation of ensembles of current weather data using observed predictor variables;
5. Statistical analysis of observed data & climate change scenarios;
6. Graphing model output;
7. Generation of ensembles of future weather data

4. Summary & Conclusion
21 RF stations were filled & future data were generated
13 Tmax & Tmin stations data were filled & also future data were generated
The result of the climate projection show that SDSM is able to replicate the observed Tmax & Tmin
SDSM couldn’t able to replicate well the observed PCP with the simulated PCP due to its conditional nature & high variability in space
Overall performance of SDSM was considered satisfactory

5. Summary & Conclusion
The hydrologic model SWAT has been applied to the semi-ungaged Omo Gibe river basin for the purpose to estimate the present-day & future inflow to the three cascade reservoirs along the river
The calibration & validation performance of the SWAT model were measured by R² & NSparameter of the fit of simulated daily & monthly stream flows to observed ones
Overall good agreement of observed & simulated hydrographs
The validation had some problems with the mimicking of the low-flow periods of the streamflow.

Conclusion cont…
The stream flow hydrographs indicate a slightly decreasing trend of inflow into these reservoirs,
A review of the future integrated water resource management of these reservoirs as well as of the overall water resources in the Omo river basin is required.

1. Introduction• HEC-ResSim is a modeling of hydraulic software
program used to assist in:
– planning studies for evaluating existing & proposed reservoirs,
– Planning reservoir operations, &
– sizing the flood risk management & conservation storage requirements for each project.
• This program simulates reservoir operations including all characteristics of a reservoir & channel routing downstream.
• The model also allows users to define alternatives and run simulations simultaneously to compare results.

2. Main Objective
To develop & recommend optimal dam & reservoir operation rule curves for cascade dams & reservoirs
To evaluate the effects of various reservoir operating alternatives on either preventing flooding or avoiding precarious low flow at locations d/s of the reservoirs

3. Methodology
1. Gather & analyze data required for flow-routing & reservoir modelling. This data includes:
• Time-series data (computed inflow & incremental local flow hydrographs from SWAT, observed flow hydrographs, & the associated computed reservoir inflows, etc)
• Physical & operational reservoir data including reservoir pool definition (elevation-area-storage tables), outlet capacity curves, hydro power plant data (outflow & generation capacities, efficiency, losses, etc), operational zones, minimum & maximum release requirements, etc

• Rating curves at each stream gage location & routing reach parameters (i.e., HEC-HMS).
2.Develop a model schematic that identifies the key locations in the watershed.
3.Evaluate the use of several alternative approaches for flow routing in the main channel & major tributaries of the selective part of Omo Gibe River Basin.
4.Define the physical & operational data for each major reservoir in the basin
5.Calibration & verification of the model.
