Última Treadle pump irrigation and poverty in Ghana AgEcon Adeoti, Adetola I.; Barry, Boubacar; Namara, Regassa E.; Kamara, Abdul B.; Titiati, Atsu. Treadle pump (TP) technology has been promoted by Enterprise Works Worldwide (EWW) as an alternative to the traditional rope and bucket irrigation that is necessary to overcome the challenge of uncertain and inadequate rainfall for agricultural production. The aim is to improve output, increase incomes and reduce poverty among farm households. This study examines the strategies used for dissemination of the TP and the dynamics of its adoption and impacts, with a special focus on poverty reduction. The results of the study reveal that time and labor savings for irrigation, increased size of irrigated areas and lack of fuel requirements are the attractive features of the TP for those who adopt it. Adoption of TP increases land and labor productivities; and...

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/44520 An overview of the development challenges and constraints of the Niger Basin and possible intervention strategies AgEcon Namara, Regassa E.; Barry, Boubacar; Owusu, Eric S.; Ogilvie, Andrew. The Niger River Basin covers 7.5% of the African continent and is shared between nine riparian countries. The human population of the basin is growing at an average annual rate of about 3%, which makes the Niger River Basin one of the areas with the highest fertility rates in the world. The desert margin is expanding; climate change is negatively impacting rainfall; and urbanization, industrialization, and the human and livestock population are threatening the quantity and quality of available water resources. The basin population already suffers from chronic poverty. Based on a literature review, this paper suggests some key water-related and other interventions that are capable of easing the basin's development challenges.

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/118299 Importance of irrigated agriculture to the Ethiopian economy: Capturing the direct net benefits of irrigation AgEcon Hagos, Fitsum; Makombe, Godswill; Namara, Regassa E.; Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele. Irrigation development has been identified as a means to stimulate economic growth and rural development in Ethiopia. However, little attempt has been made to quantify the contribution of irrigation to national income. Using data from selected irrigation schemes, representing small, medium and large-scale schemes of modern or traditional typologies; the present coverage and planned growth of irrigation, actual and expected contributions of irrigation to the national economy were quantified following the approach of adjusted gross margin analysis. Our results show that irrigation yields 219.7% higher income compared to the rainfed system while its current and future contribution to agricultural GDP is estimated to be about 5.7 and 12% although irrigation...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/61100 Assessing the outcomes of IWMI’s research and interventions on irrigation management transfer AgEcon Giordano, Meredith A.; Samad, Madar; Namara, Regassa E.. The purpose of this paper is to summarize IIMI/IWMI's past research and interventions related to irrigation management transfer and to document, to the extent possible, the academic, policy, and technical outcomes of these efforts. The application of a range of direct and indirect measurement techniques suggests an overall positive contribution from IWMI to IMT theory and application.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/44524 A comparative analysis of the technical efficiency of rain-fed and smallholder irrigation in Ethiopia AgEcon Makombe, Godswill; Namara, Regassa E.; Hagos, Fitsum; Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele; Ayana, Mekonnen; Bossio, Deborah A.. Agriculture is the most significant contributor to Ethiopia’s economy. Most of the agricultural production is under rainfed conditions and thus extremely sensitive to rainfall variability. Irrigation development, including smallholder irrigation, is used by the Ethiopian Government to attempt to mitigate the effects of rainfall variability. In this study, we look at smallholder irrigation - modern and traditional irrigation systems. A detailed description of the cropping patterns is given. The stochastic frontier production function approach is used to estimate technical inefficiency, and constraints to production are analyzed. Since the traditional system is found to be efficient but on a lower production frontier, the study shows that significant gains...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/44543 Shallow groundwater in the Atankwidi Catchment of the White Volta Basin: current status and future sustainability AgEcon Barry, Boubacar; Kortatsi, Benony; Forkuor, Gerald; Gumma, Murali Krishna; Namara, Regassa E.; Rebelo, Lisa-Maria; van den Berg, Joost; Laube, Wolfram. The Atankwidi Catchment, which lies in the White Volta Basin in West Africa, is intensively cultivated by locals for economic gains. During dry seasons, farmers irrigate their crops, chiefly tomatoes, using shallow groundwater harvested from shallow ponds they dig using simple tools like an axe, hoe, bucket and bowls. Recent expansion in cultivated areas has brought to the fore the need to estimate the volume of shallow groundwater stored in the catchment’s underlying aquifer and to what extent it can sustain the incremental growth in irrigated areas.

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/112969 Prospects for adopting system of rice intensification in Sri Lanka: A socioeconomic assessment AgEcon Namara, Regassa E.; Weligamage, Parakrama; Barker, Randolph. Today, there is an increasing worldwide interest in assessing the potential for maintaining or increasing rice yields by reducing or eliminating the use of chemicals and by decreasing irrigation requirements. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) first developed in Madagascar and now being tested in many countries, is an example of such an approach. The system is based largely on organic farming principles and additional requirements for spacing and the transplanting of seedlings.
