OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE CASCADED WADECHA-BELBELA RESERVOIR SYSTEM

WAKENA TOTOBA OLANI

Wadecha-Belbela reservoir system is located in Oromia Region, East Shoa
zone, Adaa Liben woreda serving as a water source of 1600ha irrigation
projects. The irrigation system under the reservoir system is increasing
progressively during the past decades. The expansion of irrigation development
without the knowledge of the water source will have the outcome of agricultural
yield reduction and water stress. Inadequate knowledge on operation of the
reservoir has been leading to inefficient usage of stored water.
This study focuses mainly on the description and assessment of water
resources of the woreda based on climate, land and water information,
estimation of irrigation water requirements of the reservoir system irrigation
projects, and operational analysis of the reservoir system by the application of
reservoir system simulation model (HEC-ResSim).
