No results found.This is one in a series of training manuals on subjects related to Irrigation that will be issued in 1985, 1986 and 1987. The papers are intended for use by field assistants in agricultural extension services and irrigation technicians at the village and district levels who want to increase their ability to deal with farm-level irrigation issues. Irrigation water needs is the third in a series of training manuals on irrigation. Unlike Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 has been divided into two parts. The papers contain material that is intended to provide support for irrigation training courses and to facilitate their conduct. Thus, taken together, they do not present a complete course in themselves, but instructors may find it helpful to use those papers or sections that are relevant to the specific irrigation conditions under discussion. The material may also be useful Co individual students who want to review a particular subject without a teacher. -

ProjectSupport for Establishing Web-Based National Irrigation Database and Water Management Information System (MIS) for Ethiopia - TCP/ETH/3704 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Irrigated agriculture in Ethiopia has been aggressively expanded in order to produce more food for an ever increasing population, increase family incomes, build a climate resilient agricultural production system and boost the national economy However, this expansion has been promoted without proper planning and with no quantification of the available water resources, primarily as a result of inadequate data, exacerbated by inefficient water management To avoid the risk of water shortages and environmental degradation caused by waterlogging and salinization, there is a need for strategies on water resources development and utilization Such strategies must be based on accurate and up to date information on the status of water resources development and agriculture water use, as the agriculture sector is the main water user Little is known about the amount of water abstracted for agriculture and the portion of abstracted water lost through poor water management practices Inconsistent and scattered data are unable to provide the basic information required for appropriate planning, and may also lack authenticity and integrity There is a pressing need for a central information system for the storage, retrieval and analysis of proper datasets, for consistent reporting on the development of the nation’s irrigation systems and for the dissemination of accurate and timely information on various aspects of irrigated agriculture.
