This layer represents the major roads near to the major forest resources in Hawassa-Zeway watershed. The watershed is part of the Rift valley Lakes basin within Ethiopia.
The road layer was created by manual digitizing (on-screen digitizing) using 1:50000 topographic maps, Landsat images and Google Earth images.
This data was created to support the “Natural Resources Conservation and Development Activities”. It targets the conservation and sustainable use of the forest-related resources within the Hawassa-Zeway Watersheds. These resources are of the highest importance for this part of the rift valley lakes basin. It is an important area from economic, social and environmental points of view. These watersheds require integrated forest-related resources management in order to conserve and sustainably use the land and water resources of the watersheds.
