Water resources in Africa
Viewpoint: Water, agriculture & poverty in an era of climate change: Why do we know so little?
(Food Policy, 2020)
Understanding the complex relationship between water, agriculture and poverty (WAP) is essential for informed policy-making in light of increasing demand for scarce water resources and greater climatic variability. Yet, ...
Innovation Lab for Livestock Systems: Estimating water resource availability to produce livestock fodder in the rainfed agricultural land in Ethiopia using small scale irrigation
(ILRI, 2020)
Estimating water resource availability to produce livestock fodder in the rainfed agricultural land in Ethiopia using small scale irrigation
Forecasting yields, prices and net returns for main cereal crops in Tanzania as probability distributions: A multivariate empirical (MVE) approach
(Agricultural Systems, 2020)
Maize (Zea mays L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and rice (Oryza sativa) are essential staple crops to the livelihoods of many Tanzanians. But the future productivity of these crops is highly uncertain due to many ...
Establishing irrigation potential of a hillside aquifer in the African highlands
(Hydrological Processes,, 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 ...
Conservation agriculture with drip irrigation: Effects on soil quality and crop yield in sub-Saharan Africa
(Journal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2020)
The traditional agriculture production system in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) caused significant soil erosion and degradation of soil quality. In addition, dependability of rainfall for irrigation needs limits the crop production. ...

Economic and Nutrition Impacts of Irrigated fodder and Crossbreed Cows
The effect of nitrogen-fertilizer and optimal plant population on the profitability of maize plots in the Wami River sub-basin, Tanzania: A bio-economic simulation approach
(Agricultural Systems, 2020)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the essential staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Tanzania in particular; the crop accounts for over 30% of the food production, 20% of the agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and over 75% ...
Assessment of smallholder farmers’ demand for and adoption constraints to small-scale irrigation technologies: Evidence from Ethiopia
(Agricultural Water Management, 2021)
Increasing agricultural productivity through irrigation technologies is recognized as an effective way to improve smallholders’ livelihoods and food security in developing countries. However, most smallholder farmers do ...
