Fayera Gudu Tufa is a researcher and academic staff at Jimma University. My
research is primarily focused on hydrological and hydrogeological modeling and
analysis. I am conducting my PhD research on Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction
and Recharge-Discharge Systems of Groundwater in the Gilgel Gibe catchment,
Ethiopia under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kristine Walraevens, Ghent University and
Prof. Fekadu Fufa, Jimma University. The objective of the research is to estimate the
groundwater recharge; its spatiotemporal distributions and groundwater-surface
water exchanges in the catchment.
