Item PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF WOSHA AND WERKA IRRIGATION SCHEMES IN WONDO GENET DISTRICT, SNNPRS, ETHIOPIA(Hawassa University, 2018-10-21) HENOK TESFAYE CHARINETExpanding efficient irrigation development on various scales is one of the best alternatives to provide reliable and sustainable food security. However, many irrigation schemes in developing countries in general and particularly in Ethiopia are performance below capacity. Performance evaluation of irrigation schemes plays a fundamental role in improving irrigation system of a scheme by identifying where the critical problems occurred. Evaluation of irrigation schemes carried out at Wondo Genet SNNPRS, Ethiopia. The primary objective of evaluating Wosha and Werka irrigation schemes using internal and external indicators were to evaluate their performance and suggest possible interventions to enhance their capacity. Internal indicators including conveyance, application, water storage, water distribution uniformity efficiency, and deep percolation ratio were used at the head, middle and tail reach of each scheme. Moreover, external indicators of agriculture output, water supply, water delivery capacity and physical indicator were used for evaluating the schemes. The results showed that the conveyance, application, storage, distribution efficiency of 55.6, 48.2, 89.8 and 91.7%, respectively were found at Wosha irrigation scheme whereas 43.0, 59.0, 87.2 and 91.4%, respectively at Werka irrigation scheme. The agricultural output performance such as OPUIA, OPUCA, OPUIS, and OPUWC were 4213.97 US$/ha, 8732.29 US$/ha, 1.18 and 0.32, respectively at Wosha irrigation scheme and 5840.34, 8534.19, 1.77 and 0.42 respectively for Werka irrigation scheme. Water supply indicators such as RIS and RWS were 0.64 and 0.71, respectively for Wosha 0.48 and 0.55, respectively for Werka irrigation scheme. The result indicates that water delivery capacity of Wosha and Werka irrigation schemes were 1.56 and 1.32, respectively. Physical indicators revealed that irrigation ratio of 0.89 and 0.78 and sustainability of irrigated area of 2.07, and 1.46 were found at Wosha and Werka irrigation schemes. Among the internal indicators, application efficiency was very low especially at Wosha irrigation scheme due to higher water loss through deep percolation. The overall efficiency was also below the desired level, where 26.8 and 25.4 %, respectively realized at Wosha and Werka irrigation schemes. Based on the above observation, adoption of water saving practices such as deficit irrigation, surge and cutoff application to improving application, conveyance and distribution systems can enhance crop productivity per unit irrigation waterItem PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SANKO SMALL SCALE IRRIGATION SCHEME AT BASKETO SPECIAL WOREDA IN SNNPR, ETHIOPIA(Hawassa University, 2018-10-12) MARKOS HABTEWOLD ADEBOThis study was conducted to evaluate the performance of Sanko small scale irrigation scheme at Basketo Special Woreda, South Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional states. The irrigation scheme includes command area of 120 ha and 600 beneficiaries. To achieve the objective of the study; primary and secondary data were collected. The irrigation scheme was evaluated using minimum sets of internal and external comparative performance indicators which include agricultural, water use, physical and economic performance indicators. In order to evaluate the irrigation water use efficiency of farmers at field level, nine farmer fields were selected from the irrigation scheme in relation to their location (from the head, middle and tail end water users).The internal performance indicators which include conveyance, application, storage, deep percolation ratio and overall irrigation efficiency were used to check the performance of the irrigation scheme. From the analyses of the internal performance indicators, the conveyance efficiencies was found to be 69.3% and application efficiencies were found to be 61.6%, 63.4% and 46.5% at head, middle and tail end part of the irrigation scheme respectively. Average field application efficiency through out of the Sanko irrigation scheme was 57.2%. A deep percolation ratio in the same order of the scheme was found to be 42.8% and Storage efficiencies of 78.5%. Generally overall scheme efficiency of Sanko irrigation scheme was 39.6%. From the evaluation of external comparative indicators, the outputs per cropped area were found as 84,706 Birr ha-1 , 220,690 Birr ha-1 and 69,686.4 Birr ha-1 at head, middle and tail end part of irrigation scheme respectively and the value of the outputs per command area of scheme was 15,003,276 Birr per command area. The output per unit irrigation supply of irrigation scheme was 13.5 Birr m-3 , 33.95 Birr m-3 and 22.12 Birr m-3 at head, middle and tail end part of the scheme respectively. The water use performance of the scheme, like relative water supply and relative irrigation supply were found as 1.28 which was the same since there was no rainfall during study period. The irrigation ratio of the Sanko irrigation scheme was found to be 1.00 which means 100% of command area was under irrigation and additional 25ha was on the construction during study period. Water delivery performance indicator which includes adequacy, efficiency, dependability, and equity from these measures only adequacy was fair and good at head and middle part of irrigation scheme according to standard values but all of other measures were poor according to standard values. In general, based on the evaluation carried out; Sanko irrigation scheme at middle part was performed better than upper head and lower part of the scheme. But there is still a room for improvement of the performance at all of the system level. Therefore to reduce over and under irrigate farmers should get awareness how to use, when to use and how much water used on their fields.Item PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF WAQEMIYA TIYO AND AWASH MELKASA IRRIGATION SCHEMES IN EAST SHEWA ZONE, ETHIOPIA(Hawassa University, 2023-10-15) ALEMIYE DEGEFA TOLAPerformance evaluation of irrigation schemes plays a fundamental role in improving irrigation system of scheme by identifying performance gaps that help to provide appropriate improvement options. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the performance of Waqemiya Tiyo and Awash Melkasa community managed small-scale irrigation schemes located at Adama District, Oromia, Ethiopia using internal and external performance indicators. For this purpose, primary and secondary data were collected from the schemes and for field data measurements three farmers’ fields were selected at the head, middle and tail-end of each scheme. Schemes were evaluated by their own merits with the help of internal performance indicators. Thus, the results of analyses revealed that conveyance, application, storage, overall scheme efficiency and distribution uniformity were 49.0, 56.2, 48.8, 27.5 and 88.2% and at Waqemiya Tiyo whereas, 45.6 53.3, 44.1, 24.3 and 85.8% Awash Melkasa schemes respectively. Then comparison was made using external performance indicators such as water supply, water delivery capacity, outputs and physical indicators. The results obtained revealed that the values of relative water supply and irrigation supply were 0.59 and 0.57 for Waqemiya Tiyo scheme, whereas 0.65 and 0.64 for the Awash Melkasa scheme respectively. Water delivery capacities of Waqemiya Tiyo and Awash Melkasa schemes were 0.60 and 0.37 respectively. The values of output per unit irrigated area were 3962.6 and 2187.3 US$/ha, and similarly the output per unit command area was 4507.4and 2479.US$/ha for two schemes respectively. The output per unit irrigation supply and water consumed were 0.79,0.45US$/m 3 and 0.91,0.57US$/m 3 for two schemes respectively. Likewise, Physical indicators such as irrigation ratio and sustainability of the irrigated area revealed that 1.14, 1.07 and1.11, 1.04 for two schemes, respectively. Based on the results obtained, Awash Melkasa scheme was better in terms of relative water supply and irrigation supply. However, Waqemiya Tiyo scheme had significantly better land and water productivity than Awash Melkasa scheme due to used high value crops, agricultural inputs and removal of grass cover and sedimentation from canal systems. As a result, Waqemiya Tiyo scheme was better performing than Awash Melkasa scheme therefore, practices high value crops, sharing their experience with one another to achieve good performance of the schemes.Item PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF WOSHA AND WERKA IRRIGATION SCHEMES IN WONDO GENET DISTRICT, SNNPRS, ETHIOPIA(Hawassa University, 2018-10-07) HENOK TESFAYE CHARINETExpanding efficient irrigation development on various scales is one of the best alternatives to provide reliable and sustainable food security.
