1. WATER RESOURCES PROFILE OF ETHIOPIA
Ethiopia is endowed with a substantial amount of water resources. The surface water resource potential is
huge. As a matter of this fact, it is called the “water tower” of North-east Africa. There are 12 major
river/drainage basins in the country, many of which being trans-boundary. The total annual runoff from these
basins is estimated at about 122 billion cubic meters. The major rivers carry water and valuable soil and drain
mainly to the arid regions of neighboring countries. The Wabi Shebelle and Genale drain to the desert areas
of Somalia and flow into the Indian Ocean. Abay (Blue Nile), Tekeze-Angereb (Atbara) and Baro drain to
the Sudan (and Egypt) and join the Mediterranean Sea through the Nile. The total loss of top soil, along with
those trans-boundary rivers, in Ethiopia has been estimated at 3 billion tons per year.
There are also eleven major lakes with a total area of 750,000 ha. The biggest is Lake Tana found in the
Northwestern part of the country while the rest of the lakes are found in the Rift Valley. The ground water
and the gross Hydro-Electric potential in the country are estimated at 2.6 billion cubic meters and 160,000
Giga Watt per Hours (GWh) per year respectively. Based on available information the potential irrigable
land in the country is about 3.7 million ha.
Although Ethiopia’s water resource is large, very little of it has been developed for agriculture, hydropower,
industry, water supply and other purposes. Basin wide integrated master plan studies, which envisage a
development activity over the coming 30 to 50 years has been undertaken for most of the major rivers.
Recent estimates indicate that the total irrigated area in Ethiopia is 250,613 ha. (MoWE, 2010). In the GTP
period, Ethiopia targets to harness 15 percent of its irrigation potential. National coverage of potable water
supply has increased from 19% in 1990 to 68.5% in 2009/10. It is particularly encouraging to note that the
proportion in rural areas with access to clean water has significantly increased from 35% in 2004/05 to
65.8% in 2009/10, compared to increases from 80% to 91.5% in urban areas for the same period (MoFED,
2010). Those improvements has brought by the ability of the country to produce and mobilize skilled
manpower in the sectors. This undergraduate engineering education program is among those that have
effectively taken the role of capacitating the country’s human power in the area. Developing the water
resources of the country is a way forward in eradicating poverty and meeting the Millennium Development
Goal by 2015 as well as to become middle level income as of 2025.
Background of the Program

Training qualified professionals on different disciplines is inevitable for the overall development of the
country in such a way that problems pertaining to these professions can be solved, better and up-to-date
technological advancements that the other part of the world experiences today can easily be realised through
the aid of these people.
This curriculum is designed in pursuance of directions given from the Ministry of Education in order to solve
problems observed in the existing higher education curricula and with an objective of developing improved
curricula aimed at providing practical oriented and measurable education in terms of the output as per the
engineering program reform in Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering discipline.
The planning of engineering curricula is a complex exercise. It involves integration of not only the current
educational needs of the profession but also the anticipated needs arising out of the fast changing national
and international developmental, technological and political scenes. The development of detailed curricula
requires a lot of expertise and sustained consultation with different stakeholders. Therefore, this curriculum
is only a baseline and institutions should aspire to develop over and above this in line with the working
regulations and guidelines of the responsible offices of the Ministry of Education (such as HESC).

2. OBJECTIVES AND DEMAND FOR THE PROGRAM
The Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering (WRIE) program is one of the undergraduate degree
programs offered in the Institute of Technology. The opening of the program is in tandem with the country’s
efforts towards developing its water resources in a sustainable way. The importance and need for planned
development of water resources of Ethiopia can hardly be overemphasized. With respect to the water
resources potential of the country, critical shortage of capacity has greatly hampered the development of the
water sector. Moreover, frequent floods and droughts have become serious water-related problems in the
country. Therefore, the development of water resources must be a central element of the country’s strategy to
improve the quality of life of the people.
In light of this, the Government of Ethiopia has developed a 15-year Water Sector Development Program
(2002-2016) which includes the following program components: water supply and sewerage, irrigation and
drainage, hydropower development and water resources capacity building. It was subdivided in to two
medium term development plans: the Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development to End Poverty
(PASDEP - 2005/06-2009/10) and its successor Growth and Transformation Plan (2010/11-2014/15). Both
are MDG based development plans.
The plan was based on the core intuitive idea which is sustainable development of water resources and
effective governance are inseparable. Water governance generally refers to the wide-range of socio-
economic, political, institutional and decision-making process. Pursuant to the declaration of the Millennium
Development Goals by the UN in 2000, the Government of Ethiopia has continued to further devolve
decision-making process, planning and implementation of social and economic activities at lower levels. The
decentralization and regionalization of policies has created conducive environment for the establishment of
water institutions at different levels.
The institutions that exist at federal level are directly or indirectly involved in the development and
management of water resources. Shortage of competent manpower at regional and federal levels, however,
has been found to be the major impediment to implementing the envisaged water sector development
programs. To overcome the shortage in competent manpower and complement the success of the
government’s development plan different Universities have commenced several programs in the area of
Water Resources Engineering. Arba Minch, Axum, Haramaya, Hawassa, Madawalabu, Jigjiga and Wollo
Universities are among the universities offering the program.
Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering Program, in those Universities, was established at different
times to cater the country’s need of engineers trained to plan, design, construct, operate and maintain
engineering works for the control and utilization of water resources focusing on Irrigation and related water
fields. Its curriculum has also been subjected to different level of frequent revisions in order to twin and
update it to the best possible standard that will be able to meet the objectives it stands for.
This revised nationally harmonized modular curriculum comprises various theory and practice-based courses
that enable students play productive roles in the planning, analysis, design, and implementation of Water
Resources and Irrigation Engineering projects. Above all, the views and interest of the stakeholders from
water sector Offices were included which enriched the curriculum greatly.

calculation of ECTS for each course is based on the following criteria: students learn for 16 weeks/semester,
27 hours’ workload = 1 credit point in ECTS, and contact hours are given to lecture, tutorial, lab/practice,
and home study.
The overall student’s workload in ECTS credit point is 301, with 30 ECTS/semester on average. It also
covers an internship semester, which carries 30 ECTS. In the final semester, students are required to conduct
their Bachelor of Science Project Design on one of the WRIE specialization areas. Table 3.2 represents the
modules per category and the corresponding ECTS. The modules are classified in to the following major
categories:
 Communication and Ethics
 Mathematical Sciences
 General Engineering and Economics
 Water Resources Engineering
 Irrigation Engineering
 Civil Engineering

4. ATTAINMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The WRIE program has set various objectives and its constituencies should check learning outcomes
whose attainment regularly. The constituencies of the program may include staff, students, alumni,
employers, and eminent professionals.
Staffs and students of the Program are responsible for making regular internal assessment of the
program. The evaluation of performance of instructors should be integrated with systematic program-
level assessment for better achievements.
5. QUALITY ASSURANCE MEASURES
The WRIE gives great value to quality education. First and for most the program intends to regularly
evaluate and improve the quality of the teaching-learning process through the semester-based
feedbacks of its students.
Moreover, the program will have its first B.Sc. graduates in 2016/17 through this harmonized
curriculum. It is intended to check the quality of the program by conducting systematic graduate
survey, preferably as part of an Alumni system for broader networking.
The program also plans to improve the relevance and content of the program by refining and revising
its curriculum in light of recent developments in the field and real demands for the profession.
Furthermore, it is the intention of the program to increase its academic and research capability by
launching specialized postgraduate study programs.
The plan towards getting accreditation from legitimate local and international organizations such as
HERQA and HESC at MoE, AQUIN in Germany, etc. also forms part of the quality assurance
measures. This will force the program to make every effort towards meeting the quality requirements
of the accreditation agencies.
