Potential Site Suitability Analysis for Wind Farm Development Using GIS and Multi-Criteria Analysis
Abstract: The energy consumption of most developing countries like Ethiopia highly depends on biomass and imported fuels. These sources of energy have imposed severe impacts on the environment.Recently, Ethiopia has begun to harness electricity from renewable energies mainly from hydro- dams to meet its energy need. However, the existing energy production of the hydro-dams declines during dry season due to shortage of river waters. So, it is important to look for …

Experimental Analysis of Physical Parameters in Treated Water
Abstract: During the first phase, the surface water treatment plant at Saidabad treats 225 million liters of water per day. In the treated water, turbidity, color, total coliform, fecal coliform, and hardness are reduced; on the other hand, conductivity and total dissolved solids increase. In the wet season, turbidity is high due to relatively coarse particle dispersions in river water. All other parameters, such as color, total and fecal coliform, hardness, …
