Abstract
In this study, water quality issues of the Awash basin were reviewed, the key sources of pollutants were considered and the availability, appropriateness and quality of related data were assessed.
The identification process applied in this study is based on the context of the Awash basin and it can be replicated and support local model practitioners in creating improvement in water quality managements.
This work is part of the REACH Improving Water Security for the Poor programme.
