| dc.description.abstract | This work presents the results of combined electrical resistivity and gravity surveys carried out over two rural communities of Deka Bora and Tulu Rie, two largely populated rural communities on the Mojo-shenkora road, with the objective of locating preferred borehole sites for the extraction of groundwater for livestock and domestic use. The areas found in the western margin of Main Ethiopian Rift are rich in agricultural products but are in severe shortage of drinking water for most part of the year. Several attempts by various governmental and non governmental agencies to extract water from the subsurface have failed. Within these locations and in areas close by even and deep wells have failed to tap groundwater and the search for groundwater has almost been abandoned in resent times. It was the first objective of the work to minimize the risk of sinking dry wells by assessing groundwater. It was found from the work that the major groundwater controlling factors are structural and a detailed study of these structures and accurate location of the preferred borehole site are essential for groundwater search and drilling work to succeed. The work has also located some important potential areas for drilling and extraction of groundwater in sufficient amounts | en_US |
