Peden, Donald G.Tadesse, G.Misra, A.K.Awad Amed, F.Astatke, A.Ayalneh, W.Herrero, Mario T.Kiwuwa, G.H.Kumsa, T.Mati, Bancy M.Mpairwe, D.R.Wassenaar, T.Yimegnuhal, A.[Water and livestock for human development]Water and livestock for human development

Poor rainwater management (RWM) practices and resultant problems of land degradation and low water productivity are severe problems in the rural highlands of Ethiopia. The current study was undertaken at Meja watershed, which is located in the Jeldu district of Oromia region. The study investigat...

This paper calls attention to the importance of social cooperation in irrigation farming. It argues that a mere focus on the technical aspect of irrigation, disregarding its social aspects undermines the long-term benefits of irrigation to rural livelihoods. This assertion draws on lessons from s...

Lack of long-term hydrological monitoring makes it difficult to determine impacts of changing land use on the water dynamics for many catchments in Africa. Here we use local ecological knowledge (LEK) to explore the impacts of rapid expansion of eucalyptus agroforestry on water security in the Et...

The quantity and position of trees in a landscape can have significant impacts on farm soil and water resources. Here we present a synthesis of local knowledge studies conducted in three micro-catchments of the Blue Nile Basin (Diga, Fogera and Jeldu Woredas) exploring natural and anthropogenic d...

The irrigation system in Kobo-Girrana valley is extensively developed into modern drip irrigation using ground water sources. Tomato and onion are among the major vegetables grown under drip irrigation. However, the drip lateral spacing is fixed to 1m for all irrigated crops. This lead to low cro...

Sustaining upland agriculture and food security is very much constrained by continuing land degradation brought by soil erosion due to lack of effective rainwater management strategies. Recently a large body of research evidence has established that significant potential exists to increase agricu...

The hydrology of Holetta River and its seasonal variability is not fully studied. In addition to this, due to scarcity of the available surface water and increase in water demand for irrigation, the major users of the river are facing a challenge to allocate the available water. Therefore, the ai...

Koga irrigation scheme was developed to irrigate about 7004 ha. Furrow irrigation is the recommended method for the distribution of water. However, furrow irrigation has inherent inefficiencies due to deep percolation on the upper end and runoff at the lower end of the furrow. These losses depend...

‘Integrated Research for Development’ has been promoted as an approach to research and development in natural resources management that is most likely to lead to positive impacts. It has various acronyms, e.g. ‘INRM’ and ‘R4D.’ It was the underlying theory of the SSA Challenge Program, managed by...
