Suitability mapping framework for solar photovoltaic pumps for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa
(Applied Geography, 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 ...
Insights From a Multi-Method Recharge: Estimation Comparison Study
(Groundwater, 2018)
Although most recharge estimation studies apply multiple methods to identify the possible range in recharge values, many donot distinguish clearly enough between inherent uncertainty of the methods and other factors affecting ...
Watershed modeling for reducing future non-point source sediment and phosphorus load in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
(Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2018)
Agricultural intensification to meet the food needs of the rapidly growing population in developing countries affects water quality. In regions such as the Lake Tana basin, knowledge is lacking on measures to reduce non-point ...
A review of trends, constraints and opportunities of smallholder irrigation in East Africa
(Global Food Security, 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 ...
Business Model Scenarios and Suitability: Smallholder Solar Pump-based Irrigation in Ethiopia
(IWMI, 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 ...
