Enhancing hydrometric monitoring in Ethiopia's Abbay basin: A collaborative framework for Data-Scarce Africa

Study region: The Abbay River Basin, a representative Blue Nile basin in Ethiopia, Africa. Study focus: We conducted a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis on the basis of analyzing over 100 stream gauging stations collected over five decades. The study aims to understan...
