L-18 Kormeeridda keynta Buuraleyda Golis gudaha Soomaaliya
Daraasadani waxay anfacaysa inay ahaato kob laga jaan qaado oo ku toosan qaanqaaminta la socodka keynta Buuraleyda Golis. Waxay sidoo kale aasaasaysaa qayb ka mid ah waqbashada hawsha la socodka xaalufka dhulka ee ay bilawday SWALIM. Macluumadka lagu curiyey daraasadaan waxaa ka mid ah khariidad muujinaysa dedka dhulka gudaha keynta Golis, shaxyo iyo naqshado goobaabo qaybqaybsan si loo muujiyo manaafacaasiga iyo maaraynta khayraadka keynta. Kharriidadaha ku jira daraasadan waxaa la curiyey iyadoo la isticmaalayo masawirro Landsat TM ah oo loo kaalmeystay masawirro Google Earth ah iyo sahanno goobaha duurka dabiiciga ah oo ay weheliso wareysiyo laga soo qaaday dadka deegaanka si ay u caawiyaan ka faaleynta kaymaha marka la eego walaac laga qabo maarenyta iyo manaafacaadsiga. Macluumaadka ku jira daraasadaan wuxuu caawini doonaa in la hagaajiyo maareynta iyo manaafacaadsiga keynta.

Towards a spatial Data Infrastructure for Somalia using open source standards
SDI is a well-known concept in Africa, many countries are on the way to having a formal SDI strategy Certain countries, such as Somalia, are starting the process of nation building after years of war. These countries stand to leapfrog other African countries by implementing current SDI best practices. The FAO‐SWALIM project is in the unique position to be able to assist Somali authorities in providing some of the building blocks for SDI development, even though SWALIM does not have the legal mandate to do so. This paper highlights what SWALIM can currently contribute and what significant work (and resources) are still required for a Somalia National SDI.

W-17 Water Sources Survey Invetory for Central South Somalia
Somalia’s surface water resources are concentrated mainly along the two perennial rivers, Juba and Shabelle. The flow in both rivers varies widely across the seasons. During the two rainy seasons, Deyr and Gu, the rivers often flood from very high flows, whereas in the dry season, flow is very minimal and can barely support irrigation. The riverine areas of the Juba and Shabelle occupy a small percentage of the Somalia’s territory. Majority of the country falls under arid and semi arid climatic conditions with very limited surface water resources. Domestic and commercial water needs in such areas are usually met through underground water sources.

W-17 Sahan Diiwaagelin Ilo Biyood ee Koonfurta iyo Bartamaha Soomaaliya
Khayraadka biyaha dusha Soomaaliya waxay ku uruursan yihiin inta badan jiidda labada webi ee joogtada ah, Juba iyo Shabelle. Socodka labada webi si weyn ayuu u kala duwan yahay xilliyada dhexdooda. Inta lagu guda jiro labada xilli roobaad, Deyr iyo Gu, webiyadu badanaa waa fatahaan marka qulqulku uu aad u sareeyo, halka markii xilligu qalayl yahay, qulqulku waa wax aad u yar oo si dirqi ah ayuu u taageeraa waraabka. Dhulka dacallada webiyada Jubba iyo Shabelle wuxuu ku fadhiyaa tiro yar boqolkiiba marka loo eego dhulka dalka Soomaaliya oo idil. Aqlabiyadda dalku waxay ku sugan tahay xaalado cimilo oomane iyo bar-oomane ah oo khayraadka biyaha dusha ay aad u yar yihiin. Baahiyaha biyaha hooy iyo ganacsiyeedba ee meelahaas oo kale waxaa sida caadiga ah lagu haqabtiraa biyo laga helo ilaha biyaha dhul-hoose.

W-18 Inventory of Drainage Basins of Northern Somalia
Addressing issues of natural resources requires a holistic approach that recognizes the interdependence between competing demands and limited resources. Integrated watershed management is recognized as the best instrument for dealing with water and natural resources. This would also contribute to the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger (MDG 1) through improved food security (main focus of FAO) and sustainable
environmental management (MDG 7).
To enable start a process of integrated water resources management in Northern Somalia, the Somalia Water and Land Information Management (SWALIM) project has been mandated by the European Union (EU) to develop an inventory of the drainage basins of the area. A great percentage of the Somalia population relies directly on the natural resource base to meet their daily needs.

W-18 Diiwaangelinta Marin-biyoodka Dooxooyinka ee Waqooyiga Soomaaliya
Wax ka qabashada arrimaha khayraadka dabiiciga waxay u baahan tahay habraac guud oo aqoonsan isku tiirsanaan ka dhexaysa dalabaad tartamaya iyo khayraadka kooban. Waxa la ogaaday in maareyn biyo-rog oo isku dhafan ay tahay aaladda ugu fiican ee lagula tacaalo biyaha iyo khayraadka dabiiciga. Tani waxay sidoo kale gacan ka geysan karilahayd dabargoynta saboolnimada ba'an iyo gaajada (MDG 1) iyada oo loo marayo hagaagin sugnaan cunto (FAO si weyn ayey diirad u saartaa) iyo maareyn deegaameed raandhiis leh (MDG 7). Si ay u suurogasho bilaw geedi-socod maareyn khayraad biyo oo isku dhafan gudaha waqqooyiga Soomaaliya, mashruuca Macluumaadka Maareynta Biyaha iyo Dhulka Soomaaliya (SWALIM) ayaa Midowga Yurub (EU) wuxuu u xilsaaray si ay hirgeliso diiwaangelinta dooxooyinka marin-biyoodka. Tiro-boqolle aad u badan oo dadweynaha Soomaaliya ka mid ah ayaa wuxuu toos ugu tiirsan khayraadka dabiiciga aasaasiga ah oo ay u daboolaan baahiyahooda nolol maalmeed.

W-15 Flood Risk and Response Management
Floods regularly cause disasters in Somalia, and in particular along the Juba and Shabelle Rivers in the southern part of the country. The downstream segments of these rivers are marked by an inverse topography, with water courses at some locations on higher elevation than the adjacent land; as a result, the lower parts of the riverine floodplains are highly susceptible to flooding (an attribute widely used in gravity-fed irrigation and deshek farming). Arid and semi-arid land further away from the main river courses also experience flash-flood events.
Flood risk management (FRM) has been defined as “a systematic process that produces a range of measures associated with flood hazard mitigation, emergency preparedness, impact response and disaster recovery, and which contributes to the safety of communities and the environment; and at the same time parallels risk management and good management practices”.

W-15 Maareynta Halis Daad iyo ka Jawaabid
Daadadku joogto ay u sababaan masiibooyin gudaha Soomaaliya, gaar ahaan inta ku teedsan Webiyada Juba iyo Shabelle ee qaybta koonfurta dalka. Qeybaha dhocda-hoose ee webiyadan waxaa lagu tilmaamay in qaab-dhiismeedku rogan yahay, oo biyomareennada meelaha qaarkod uu jooggu ka sareeyo dhulka ku hareera yaal; sababtaas awgeed, meelaha hooseeya ee dhulka dhoobeyda webiyada waxay aad ugu nugul yihiin fatahaad (sifo si ballaaran loogu isticmaalo waraabka biyo soo furid iyo beero dhasheeg). Sidoo kale dhul oomane iyo mid bar-oomane ah oo ka fog marinnada ugu waaweyn webiga ayaa iyaguna la kulma dhacdooyin daad butaaco ah. Maareynta khatarta fatahaadda waxa lagu qeexay “hanaan isdabjoog ah oo dhaliya tallaabooyin isdabayaal oo la xiriira yaraynta halista daadka, u diyaargarow xaalad degdegga ah, wax ka qabasho saamayn iyo ka soo kabasho musiibo, taasi oo gacan ka geysata nabadgelyada bulshada iyo deegaanka; oo isla mar ahaantiina ay barbar socoto maarayn khatar iyo farsamooyin maamul wanaag”.

W-16 Somalia Flood Forecasting System
Floods are a common phenomenon in the riverine areas of the Juba and Shabelle River basin. The two rivers exhibit seasonal characteristics in their hydrological regime with high tendency of flooding especially during the Deyr (October to November) rain season. Some of the major flood events in the two basins in the past few decades occurred in the years 1961, 1977, 1981, 1997 and 2006. The floods are mainly caused by high rains experienced on the upper catchments of the two rivers in the Ethiopian highlands. However, the contribution of human activities to the floods
is also significant, with the riparian farmers cutting the river banks to allow water flow into their fields during low flows. These illegal activities have increased after collapse of the central government in 1991 and exacerbated by El Nino 1997/98 rains that contributed to further destruction of the irrigation and flood control infrastructure.
