  • Ethiopia : Agricultural Water Management Policy Brief Issue 1, 2007
    Many analysts believe that future increases in food supplies and economic prosperity for the rural poor in Ethiopia will come mainly from improved agricultural water management combined with other interventions contributing to production and productivity growth. Access to water will allow the intensification of agricultural production systems. In light of this, researchers, policymakers, NGOs and farmers are increasingly experimenting with and promoting various innovative agricultural water management technologies and practices. Making relatively low cost agricultural water management technologies more widely available is likely to make a major contribution. Download PDF (5MB)
