This special initiative is concerned with the rural water supply for the particularly water-scarce regional states of Tigray and Afar in the semi-arid north of Ethiopia. This paper describes a pilot project near the village of Koraro, Hawzen county in the Tigray region and deals with river reaches or creeks which carry water for short periods and only after the longer of two rainy seasons. When these waters run dry, water is still often to be found under the dry beds and is used casually by local people for agricultural purposes. An impermeable wall constructed as a subsurface dam to retain water in the ensuing subsurface micro-reservoir under the bed of such rivers could enable this usage to be intensified and hence enhance the water supply of small local user-groups, while at the same time positively influencing the landscape water balance. Here, the word micro refers to the fact that only the pores of the granular soil of an alluvial river bed are used to store water. Furthermore, storing water underground also avoids the danger of increasing the incidence of diseases such as malaria, a consequence of open water ponds. N2 - In dem Projekt in Äthiopien, über das hier berichtet wird, geht es um die in der Regel trockenen Oberflächen-Fließgewässer, die nur kurze Zeit Wasser führen, und zwar nur nach länger anhaltenden Regenfällen in der längeren der beiden Regenzeiten (Juni-September). Hier wird über ein Pilotprojekt in der Nähe der Ortschaft Koraro, Kreis Hawzen, Region Tigray, berichtet. Im Untergrund dieser Gewässer ist häufig noch Wasser zu finden, das gelegentlich auch von Menschen zu landwirtschaftlichen Zwecken extensiv genutzt wird. Dichtwände im Untergrund der Gewässerläufe und die damit einhergehenden Micro-Reservoire können dazu dienen, diese Nutzung zu intensivieren und zusätzlich den Landschafts-Wasserhaushalt positiv zu beeinflussen. Die so aufgestauten unterirdischen Wasserspeicher sollen als kleine bzw. kleinste Anlagen dezentral die Versorgungslage kleiner, lokaler Bevölkerungsgruppen verbessern. Der Zusatz Micro- trägt der absoluten Größe der gespeicherten Volumina im Vergleich zu Talsperren Rechnung. Die Speicherung findet nur in den Poren des sandigen Gewässerbetts statt. Gleichzeitig vermeidet die unterirdische Speicherung die Gefahr einer Erhöhung der Inzidenzrate für beispielsweise Malaria, wie sie infolge von oberirdisch angelegten Speicherbecken nachgewiesen worden ist.

The data ascertained show changes in the disease spectrum. Basic health provision according to the primary health care concept has priority in the post disaster response (> 6 days) of the earthquake compared to more surgically oriented medical acute aid from abroad. Material and methodology: In the international consensus conference at the beginning of January 2004, uniform morbidity recording was fixed to simple standardised case definitions. The recording of traumatic, infectious and non-infectious diseases was carried out during the routine work in the out-patient facilities of the emergency response units of January 3 to 31, 2004 . Examination was according to the following indicators: Proportional morbidities, sum of the proportional morbidities. Results and discussion: 16677 new cases were included in the complete examination time period. The health facility rate only gradually increased. Temporal fluctuations in the numbers treated may be caused by secondary care of the injured, by a possible lack of accessibility (transport problems) or an increased acceptance of facilities. A written specification of the case definitions was not carried out in BAM, and so a comparison is not possible for recorded morbidities at the same time, and consistency cannot be reached for some of the data. Nine diagnoses/categories cover 98.68% of the consultations in the complete time period. Non-traumatic health problems predominate for the whole of the month. The category "others" is too high with 57.94%. Therefore, it may be assumed that certain diagnoses were overestimated, underestimated or not recognised. Vulnerable groups (children, women, the old), were not completely included. Conclusion: Standards and guidelines for health care in humanitarian aid exist, and are of help during planning, decision finding, execution and communication. Data acquisition instruments (registering books and patient files) should be developed and standardised by national and international humanitarian groups. The recording of morbidity is a simple instrument in the context of out-patient facilities with valuable information for further work during catastrophes.
