The Government of Ethiopia has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the HoA GWfR Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include the provision of study and design a Managed Aquifer Recharging mechanism using cascaded surface water ponding dams in selected areas within Dire Dawa City Administration.

GENERAL OBJECTIVES:-The overall objective of this project is to study and design a Managed Aquifer Recharging mechanism using cascaded surface water ponding dams in selected areas within Dire Dawa City Administration.

• Estimate seepage of water to the ground through the selected rivers catchments.
• Conduct geotechnical investigation as geo-structural mapping, soil test analysis
• Evaluate analytically the flow dynamics applying Modflow and/or GSflow software packages and also analyze the impact of the artificial recharging mechanism on the well fields in terms of water quantity and quality; compare changes against the naturally recharging system.
• Carry out Socio-economic and environmental impact assessment studies.
• Design at least 2-medium and 6-small sized series of proto type dams
• Supervise construction of 1 medium and two small-sized pilot dams.
• Study and design effective monitoring systems; identify locations of at least 4 monitoring wells
