For the last two years, GHARP has, with a financial grant from USAID, implemented a regional project whose overall objective was to identify and evaluate the performance of RWH systems in the GHA with the aim of promoting best practices in water management in order to enhance food security and water availability. The publication focuses on the results of that project and highlights factors that need to be considered for effective promotion and adoption of sustainable solutions to livelihoods in GHA.

The main objectives of the project was to consolidate flood protection works by carrying out in the project area additional strengthening of rive embarkments and construction/renovation of gates.

Provides rainfail data including annual figues,monthly means and daily distribution of rainfulfor Somalia regions collected between the period 1955 to 1986. Areas covered are: Afgoi, berdera,Belet Uen, Berbera, Boroma, Galcayo, Jowhar, Hargeisa, Jilib, Lug-ganane and Mogadishu.

The report is made by two sections: The report with syntheses of all activities carried out and related graphic enclosed The annexes with: „X The Awdal Hydrogeology section „X The West Borama Basin „X The Zeila WSS „X The VES curves The first three annexes are constituted by a report and related graphics enclosed. In the fourth there are only graphics and a legend to insert before each group of graphs. A detailed list of all files to print (in printing order) is reported in the next page. The print instructions for each CAD files (*.dwg) are inserted in the same file, hence opening the files with AutoCad you can read the instructions at the graph side. The graphs (as well as the maps) have been already positioned to fit the print phase. If you move it part of the graph may fall out of the paper. So, please, make the appropriate setting (printing scale, paper format and paper position) then ascertain, before printing, that the graph centres the output paper. If you get any problem contact me. The files are divided in 5 sub-directories plus one (DATA) with all the VES data collected during the mission. For each group of VES in the DATA sub- directory there is an excel file with the field data. In the report and annexes subdirectories there are also some WMF (windows metafiles) with the figures directly enclosed in the reports. It is only for archive, not for printing. Sorry for editing in such a complicate pattern, but the material was too much to be edited in a simpler way.
