    • Agro-Climatic and hydrological characterization of selected watersheds of northern Ghana. IWMI Working Paper 173. Colombo, Sri Lanka: IWMI. 
      Kadyampakeni, Davie M.; Obuobie, E.; Mul, Marloes; Appoh, Richard; Owusu, Afua; Ghansah, Benjamin; Boakye-Acheampong, Enoch; Barron, Jennie (IWMI; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)
      This paper provides the climatic and biophysical context of three watersheds in northern Ghana. The objective of the study is to describe the agro-climatic and hydrological features of the watersheds from a landscape ...
    • Business Model Scenarios and Suitability: Smallholder Solar Pump-based Irrigation in Ethiopia 
      Otoo, Miriam; Lefore, Nicole; Schmitter, Petra; Barron, Jennie; Gebregziabher, Gebrehaweria (IWMI; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      This report outlines a business model approach to assessing the feasibility and for encouraging investment in smallholder solar pump irrigation. It also proposes a new methodology for mapping the suitability of solar ...
    • Deep Tillage Improves Degraded Soils in the (Sub) Humid Ethiopian Highlands 
      Abidela Hussein, Misbah; Muche, Habtamu; Schmitter, Petra; Nakawuka, Prossie; Tilahun, Seifu A.; Langan, Simon; Barron, Jennie; Steenhuis, Tammo S. (Land; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)
      Intensification of rainfed agriculture in the Ethiopian highlands has resulted in soil degradation and hardpan formation, which has reduced rooting depth, decreased deep percolation, and increased direct runoff and sediment ...
    • Establishing irrigation potential of a hillside aquifer in the African highlands 
      Tilahun, Seifu A.; Yilak, Debebe L.; Schmitter, Petra; Zimale, Fasikaw A.; Langan, Simon; Barron, Jennie; Parlange, Jean-Yves; Steenhuis, Tammo S. (Hydrological Processes,; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2020)
      Feeding 9 billion people in 2050 will require sustainable development of all water resources, both surface and subsurface. Yet, little is known about the irrigation potential of hillside shallow aquifers in many highland ...
    • A review of trends, constraints and opportunities of smallholder irrigation in East Africa 
      Nakawuka, Prossie; Langan, Simon; Schmitter, Petra; Barron, Jennie (Global Food Security; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      Smallholder irrigation expansion would significantly increase agricultural production, and reduce food insecurity and poverty levels in East Africa. This paper reviews literature on trends, constraints and opportunities ...
    • Suitability mapping framework for solar photovoltaic pumps for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa 
      Schmitter, Petra; Kibret, Kefyalew S.; Lefore, Nicole; Barron, Jennie (Applied Geography; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)
      As solar panels become more affordable, solar photovoltaic (PV) pumps have been identified as a high potential water-lifting technology to meet the growing irrigation demand in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, little is ...
