  <dc:description>Water used for different purposes is harvested in the watershed system; largely in the river
basin system. To maintain the requirement of these purposes, both quantity and quality of
water for ecological, social and economical development could be manage appropriately
through integrated water resource management. However, scarcity and poor water quality are
the major challenges of the world due to climate change and water pollutions. These
challenges trigger further ecological, economical and public health impacts. In Ethiopia,
evidence shows that upper Awash River sub-basin is the most impacted river basin that is why
protection of both groundwater and surface water resources come to an essential approach
through investigation of hazards, vulnerability and consequences of the water sources. This
research is designed to identify vulnerable and risk of ground water pollutions so as to indicate
the requirements of protection of vulnerable aquifer considering seven important factors of
groundwater vulnerability as well as land use management. To achieve these objectives,
digitized data for parameters and secondary data from concerned sectors have been collected.
These collected data and Shape files have been analyzed using ArcGIS 10.2 software and
SPSS version 24. Sensitive analysis, model validation, vulnerability index and risk index have
been produced</dc:description>
