Predicting Shallow Groundwater Tables for Sloping Highland Aquifers
(Water Resources Research, 2019)
While hydrological science has made great strides forward during the last 50 years with the advance of computing power and availability of satellite images, much is unknown about the sustainable development of water for ...
Assessment of Suitable Areas for Home Gardens for Irrigation Potential, Water Availability, and Water-Lifting Technologies
(Water, 2018)
The study was conducted in Lake Tana Basin of Ethiopia to assess potentially irrigable areas for home gardens, water availability, and feasibility of water-lifting technologies. A GIS-based Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) ...
What happens after technology adoption? Gendered aspects of small-scale irrigation technologies in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Tanzania
(Agriculture and Human Values, 2018)
Diverse agricultural technologies are promoted to increase yields and incomes, save time, improve food and nutritional security, and even empower women. Yet a gender gap in technology adoption remains for many agricultural ...
The determinants of irrigation participation and its impact on the pastoralist and agro-pastoralists income in Ethiopia: A review study.
(Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2019)
This review identified factors that determine the decision of a household to participate in irrigation, and its impact on the income of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists. In Ethiopia, agriculture is the basic economic ...
Deep Tillage Improves Degraded Soils in the (Sub) Humid Ethiopian Highlands
(Land, 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 ...
Observed changes in extremes of daily rainfall and temperature in Jemma Sub-Basin, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2018)
Climate variability has been a threat to the socio-economic development of Ethiopia. This paper examined the changes in rainfall, minimum, and maximum temperature extremes of Jemma Sub-Basin of the Upper Blue Nile Basin ...
Modeling the hydrological impacts of land use/land cover changes in the Andassa watershed, Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Science of the Total Environment, 2018)
Understanding the hydrological response of a watershed to land use/land cover (LULC) changes is imperative for water resources management planning. The objective of this study was to analyze the hydrological impacts of ...
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 ...
Economic and food security effects of small-scale irrigation technologies in Northern Ghana
(Elsevier, 2019)
Small-scale irrigation (SSI) technologies can be useful not only to increase crop productivity and income but also as a viable adaptation practice to climate variability. A farm simulation model (FARMSIM) and data from ...
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. ...
