Water Conservation Projects in Eritrea
by Simon Woldemichael
Fueled by climate change and the ever-increasing demands for water, the growing scarcity, and variability in water resources have made water conservation a top priority for countries. Although Eritrea is not blessed with abundant water resources, the availability of surface and groundwater has increased in recent years because of the government’s considerable efforts and investments. Water conservation has gained priority in the development efforts undertaken by the government of Eritrea. In Eritrea, the rainfall tends to be torrential, unpredictable, and lasts a short season.
