The diversity of small‐scale irrigation on the Fogera plains, in the Ethiopian Blue Nile river basin, includes small dams, hand‐dug wells, ponds and river diversion systems. These facilities, however, receive little political attention in negotiations over Nile resources, which focus primarily on...

Digging, damming or diverting? small-scale irrigation in the Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia
Ethiopia's policy of large dam construction in the Blue Nile River basin is evaluated by simulating the impact of one downscaled midrange climate change scenario (A1B) on the performance of existing and planned irrigation and hydropower schemes. The simulation finds that by 2100: 1) average basin...
