Project ID 2210222021

Eco-hydrology uses a holistic approach to aquatic ecosystems that integrates hydrology and biology to identify the most adequate solutions for the benefit of society and ecosystems. The general objective of Eco-hydrology is to apply or to enhance the core elements of the so-called eco-hydrology paradigm: Water; Biodiversity; Ecosystem Services; Resilience; Cultural heritage and Education while considering the principles of hydrological, ecological and ecological engineering. The activity will support the African Regional Centre for Eco-hydrology in Ethiopia to establish up to two Eco-hydrology demonstration sites in Africa which will be coordinated by one of the UNESCO designated sites - Biosphere reserves, natural heritage, and Geoparks.
