The geographic distribution of fluoride in surface and groundwater in Ethiopia with an emphasis on the Rift Valley.

TL;DR: Of the various flourosis prevention methods tried in Ethiopia, the treatment of surface water has been shown to be the most feasible and effective for towns and large commercial farms in the Rift Valley, although defluoridation methods should be considered for smaller rural communities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative study of diatoms and macroinvertebrates as indicators of severe water pollution: Case study of the Kebena and Akaki rivers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative performance of diatoms and macroinvertebrates to measure municipal and industrial impacts on the ecological integrity of the three major rivers flowing through Addis Ababa was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malaria and water resource development: the case of Gilgel-Gibe hydroelectric dam in Ethiopia

TL;DR: It is indicated that children living in close proximity to a man-made reservoir in Ethiopia are at higher risk of malaria compared to those living farther away, and it is recommended that sound prevention and control programme be designed and implemented around the reservoir to reduce the prevalence of malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of fluoride and fluorosis in Ethiopia and prospects for control.

TL;DR: Analysis of hydrochemical, economic and demographic factors in the spatial distribution of high‐fluoride domestic water sources indicates that the fluorosis problem has become more serious in the Rift Valley in recent decades.
