The general patterns of major river basins in Ethiopia are determined by
topographical structures
which can be clarified as:
a. The
topography of the outward sloping of the Western and Southeastern plateaus
b. The
structural formation of the Rift Valley with its in-ward- sloping escarpments resulting mainly in an inland drainage system.
c.
Faults and joints that structurally influence part of the courses of many rivers.
Rivers in Ethiopia have been classified into three categories based on their flow characteristics.
a)
Perennial
Rivers - These are rivers that flow throughout the year
b)
Seasonal
Rivers - These are rivers that only flow during the rainy season
c)
Intermittent
Rivers - These are rivers that only flow when there is heavy rainfall or snow melt.
