Overview

Evaluation shows improved water availability and agricultural productivity in small reservoirs, indicating significant potential for sustainable dry season farming.

Key Points

  • The study found that the relative irrigation supply values for small reservoir schemes vary significantly.
  • Winkongo's water supply values were 2.56 and 3.17, indicating ample water for crops compared to Baare's 1.11 and 1.12.
  • The analysis involved field surveys and laboratory tests to assess water availability and agricultural production indicators.
  • Demographic factors like farmer age and gender impacted irrigation resource use but were less significant than land availability.
