Statues quo analysis, characterization and assessment of performance of irrigation in Ethiopia por Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele, Yilma, Aster Denekew

“…It discuses the root cause of poverty and its vicious cycle nature, the interlink of population growth, the scarcity of land and natural resources, the extension of agriculture in to marginal land, the decreasing productivity, inability to invest and deepening of poverty and further aggravation as a result of various shocks such as drought, flood, war, etc. The paper also looks in to the importance of the broad agricultural water management in general and irrigation in particular with respect to increasing productivity and capability to break the vicious cycle and opportunity to reverse in to virtuous cycle that can help eradicate poverty and develop the poor economy. …”

Nile River Basin: Ecohydrological challenges, climate change and hydropolitics por Amede, Tilahun, Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele, Matti, B., Yitayew, M.

“…Effects of recurrent drought and future climatic changes would affect rainfed systems and it would be most felt in SSA systems, where local institutions are not yet well prepared to respond to emerging climatic shocks. Rainwater management (RWM) is one strategy that could minimize drought effects through mapping, capturing, storing, and efficiently utilizing runoff and surface water emerging from farms and watershed for both productive purposes and ecosystem services. …”
