3D geological model of the Sidama Zone, Ethiopia
The 3D geological model of Sidama Zone presents a unified visualization of rock bodies and fragile structures of this part of southern Ethiopia, based on the processing of all available relevant archival data from the modeled area. The model serves as a source of spatial geoscientific data for subsequent AI estimates of the depth and yield of groundwater resources and as a general visualization of the results of extensive field and laboratory research carried out in this area.
