- Abstract
In many of these areas where smallholder farmers are practising irrigation, the yields obtained are still often comparatively low and farmers face a plethora of obstacles to substantially improving crop water productivity. It is also currently being well regarded by the World Bank in its efforts to advance farmer-led irrigation. Many obstacles that are preventing innovation in irrigation are often outside the farmers' sphere of influence and this requires not only a thorough understanding of the enabling environment, but also transformations of that environment. Integrating participatory data acquisition and modelling of irrigation strategies to enhance water productivity in a small-scale irrigation scheme in Tigray, Ethiopia.
