This book is an initial attempt to estimate the loads of heavy
metal and nutrient loads into an industrial effluent receiving
rivers of a typical industrializing catchment. It shows the effects
and impacts of diffuse and point sources of these loads into the
rivers, and illuminate management, capacity and policy gaps of
riverine water and sediment monitoring in the sub-Saharan countries
perspective from Ethiopia. The study was done in semi-arid
catchments of Kombolcha city with industrialising urban and
peri-urban areas in north-central Ethiopia. The Leyole and Worka
rivers, which receives industrial effluent and wash-off from the
catchments' areas, were monitored for two years. This book
contribute to our understanding on applicable methods to quantify
loads of diffuse and point sources in data poor areas, and the most
important contribution is to address the gaps in in controlling
emission changes and. The results of this book contribute to the
theory of river protection and understanding of water quality
management of sub-Saharan African tropical rivers and sediments and
provides policy options for improvement in rivers water quality of
the sub-Saharan countries. In bridging this gap, this book proposed
a model to estimate the total loads of nitrogen and phosphorus from
a catchment.
