{ "description": "<p>Urbanization along with its impervious structures is the major challenge of urban<br>\ncenters. The foundation and expansion of Addis Ababa was associated with the rapid<br>\nconversion of land from rural to urban uses more than anywhere else in the country. For<br>\nthe last one hundred twenty years it has been noticed that there is an intensive<br>\nconversion of rural land to urban development such as buildings, transportation<br>\nnetworks, recreation areas, reservoirs and others where most of them are impermeable.<br>\nThis study has investigated the overall environmental challenges of the urban drainage<br>\nsystem. This study has particularly carried out in three sample kebeles (kebele 01/02,<br>\n08/15 and 13/14) within Yeka sub-city. These kebeles were selected because of the fact<br>\nthat they are representative to address the objectives of this study. Deforestation and<br>\npavement of structures are the major problems in the study area. An exploratory and<br>\nDescriptive type of research design methods were used to describe and explore the<br>\nexisting condition of the general urban drainage system and the natural water ways.<br>\nData collection methods were carried out using both primary and secondary data<br>\nsources. The secondary data source was only relevant to reinforce the primary data.<br>\nThe collected data were analyzed with Ms-excel, AutoCAD and ArcGIS. The results<br>\nhave been presented with known statistical tools.</p>", "license": "http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by", "creator": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dagnachew Adugna" } ], "headline": "Study of the Urban Drainage System in Addis Ababa, Yeka Sub-city.", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2009-04-16", "url": "https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/record/2940", "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.20372/nadre:2940", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.20372/nadre:2940", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "Study of the Urban Drainage System in Addis Ababa, Yeka Sub-city." }
