This document provides an overview of hydrology and water resources in Ethiopia. It defines hydrology and the hydrologic cycle. It describes the components of a catchment or drainage basin including area, stream order, drainage density, stream density, watershed length and shape factors. It discusses Ethiopia's water resources including its 12 river basins, annual rainfall distribution, groundwater resources and major catchments. Key points are that Ethiopia has abundant surface and groundwater resources, 80-90% of surface water is generated in the western and southwestern basins, and high fluoride concentrations are common in the Rift Valley.
This document discusses runoff, which is the portion of precipitation that flows over the land or through the ground towards streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. It defines the different types of runoff, such as surface runoff, subsurface runoff, and baseflow. Factors that affect the rate and volume of runoff are also examined, including climate factors like rainfall intensity, duration, and distribution as well as physiographic factors like watershed size, shape, slope, and soil type. Methods for measuring stream discharge and developing stage-discharge relationships using stream gauging are also summarized in less than 3 sentences.
Seepage meters directly measure the direction and rate of flow between groundwater and a surface water body like a lake or stream. The basic design encloses the sediment-water interface with a cylinder open at the bottom, and the change in water volume collected over time indicates flow direction and rate. Historical tracers like carbon-14 and chlorine-36 from past events are used to determine groundwater movement rates. Spring hydrographs resemble surface stream hydrographs, especially for unconfined or karst aquifers, showing seasonal discharge changes influenced by precipitation and infiltration.
The hydrological cycle involves the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water evaporates from surfaces into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates as rain or snow back onto the Earth's surface, where it collects in lakes, oceans, soil, and underground aquifers before returning to the atmosphere through further evaporation or transpiration from plants. The sun drives the hydrological cycle by providing the energy needed for evaporation and transpiration. This cyclic movement of water is crucial to life on Earth and is known as the hydrological cycle.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Components of the Hydrological Cycle
• Evaporation: Water from oceans, lakes, and rivers turns into water vapor
due to heat from the sun. Transpiration is water evaporating from plant
leaves. Evapotranspiration is sum of these two.
• Condensation: Water vapor rises and cools in the atmosphere, forming
clouds.
• Precipitation: Water droplets in clouds combine and fall back to Earth as
rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
• Infiltration: Some precipitation seeps into the ground, increasing soil
moisture of plants root zone. Deep percolation is water moving downward
to groundwater.
• Runoff: Excess water flows over the land and returns to rivers, lakes, and
oceans.

Shape of a Raindrop
• A common misconception is that when raindrops fall,
they have a teardrop shape.
• Smaller raindrops (1 millimeter) are almost perfectly
spherical.
• Larger raindrops (2-3 millimeters across) are also
round, but with a small indent on their bottom side.
• They look more like kidney beans when falling.
• Very large rain drops (larger than 4.5 millimeters) have
a huge indent and look more like a parachute.
• These extra-large drops usually end up splitting into two
smaller droplets. The indents on raindrops are caused by air
resistance.

• Infiltration is the process by
which water on the ground
surface enters the soil
• The infiltration capacity is
defined as the maximum rate
of infiltration
• Infiltration depends upon
• Soil characteristics
• Soil moisture content
(Antecedent Moisture
Condition, AMC)
• Land cover
• Slope

Runoff occurs when excess
rainwater can no longer rapidly
infiltrate in the soil

• The land area producing
runoff that drains to a
common point is called a
drainage basin
• Factors affecting runoff are
• Precipitation
• Topography of drainage
basin
• Land use-landcover
• Soil
• Slope
• Weather
• Runoff causes erosion and
deposition and flooding

Human Impact on the Hydrological Cycle
• Study of large number of water bodies have concluded that seasonal
variability in human-managed reservoirs averaged 0.86 metre,
compared with 0.22 metre in natural water bodies.
• Vast usage of chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers and pollutants causes
eutrophication.
• Eutrophication is growth of algae due to excess nutrients in lakes, pond and
rivers.

Summary
• Water is continuously moving in cycle and thus sustaining life
• There are many processes such as precipitation,
evapotranspiration, infiltration, runoff, which are continuously
moving water from one phase to another
• We could model all such processes systematically and can
understand the different processes and factors affecting them
• Still humans are influencing hydrological cycle and changing
both quantities and quality of water in local, regional and
global hydrological cycle.

Let us take a pledge
•We, as an engineers and knowledgeable
members of the society, have a great
responsibility to
• Conserve water
• Preserve water quality
• Contribute to the society efforts to bring clean
water to every human being
