Statement

Fieldwork took place over 3 weeks in the South Wollo zone of Amhara. Meetings were held with a range of stakeholders at federal, regional, zonal and woreda level, as well as at the community - household level. In each community semi structured interviews were conducted with a range of individuals at water points. Some physical data were also collected for the major water source of each community. The basic chemistry of the water was tested, including pH and electrical conductivity and major ion samples for analysis in the laboratory. The methodology used to collect the samples and associated data is described in full in Calow, R.C.; MacDonald, A.M.; Nicol, A.L.; Robins, N.S.; Kebede, S.. 2006 The struggle for water: drought, water security and rural livelihoods.
