3⃣It is just a matter of time before many wells go dry, if supply is not diversified...litigation will start in few years.

2⃣We want people to understand that whether it is a private company (as suggested) or #AAWSA who is digging even deeper (~500 meters) to get more #water , there is NOT enough water to sustain #AddisAbaba metropolitan area with ONLY groundwater. Not today. Not in in the future!

1⃣It is commendable that #Addisababa City is trying to put groundwater use regulation in place, 👏. That is part of the issue that we have been advocating to be addressed. We very much appreciate the recent draft regulation by the city to do just that.

For those who want explanation to what appears to be contradicting messages about #AddisAbaba water issue with popular newspapers coverage on this topic? 👇The articles [ref 1 and ref2] cover some of the solution and its long-term solution. Much of it from our presentations.
