“…The fluctuation of the lake's water is in response to the changes in the surface-and sub-surface components of the lake's water balance. The expansion extent and hydrochemical characteristics of the lake have been well documented by different researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The expansion of Lake Basaka, owing to its poor water quality, is threatening the socio-economics and environment of the region significantly [10]. Different study reports [7,10,19,20] indicated that the lake's expansion is affecting the irrigation development, pastoralism, infrastructure, and the ecosystem of the region (see Figure 1d,e).…”

“…Various research reports [3,6,7,9,14,16] indicated that the GW contribution to Lake Basaka is more than 50% of the total inflow. Recent studies [7,9] quantified the amount of GW contribution in different hydrologic years (1970 up to 2010) using a conceptual water balance model.…”

“…Hydrologically, these gullies are important features that facilitate fast transfer of surface water into the aquifer and then to the lake. Field evidences also indicate the positive role of newly formed gullies that act as conduit to ground water inflow from the elevated areas to Lake Hawassa [69]. Unfortunately, these gullies developed in a region of the catchment which was not monitored using stream discharge gauges.…”
