Importance of irrigated agriculture to the Ethiopian economy: capturing the direct net benefits of irrigation
Rainfed agriculture will continue to play an important role in achieving food security and reducing poverty in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). But it is threatened by a combination of technology, policy, and institutional failures. Effects of recurrent drought and future climatic changes would affect r...

The Blue Nile (Abbay) Basin lies in the western part of Ethiopia between 70 45'-120 45' N and 340 05'-390 45' E. The Blue Nile region is the main contributor to flood flows of the Nile, with a mean annual discharge of 48.5 km3. Soil erosion is a major problem in Ethiopia. Deforestation, overgrazi...
