  Ground Water Quality Assessment and Testing for Irrigation Purpose, in irrigation potential Areas of Eastern Ethiopia

  By Jemal Nur, Demisachew Tadele, Zelalem Shelemew

  Abstract: Ground water quality test was conducted for different purpose in line with that irrigation water is the major issue related with crop production in terms of yield reduction due to soil salinization. Mostly, ground water contain significant amounts of detrimental substances that may reduce soil production and productivity. In the Easter parts of Ethiopia, surface and ground water not yet tested but salinity problems become worsening in the area. Thus, …

  Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill.) Yield and Yield Component Evaluation using Bottle Drip Irrigation in Yabello District, Southern Ethiopia

  By Demisachew Tadele, Abiyot Lelisa, Jaldesa Doyo, Fenan Tola, Isihak Lolo, Desta Nagayo, Taera Itana

  Abstract: Drip irrigation is the most proficient systems in supplying water to plant root but it still allows relatively high evaporation especially in clay soils. Thus identifying the high performing water delivering technology for limited water region is fundamental for high yield and water productivity. Bottle irrigation is more appropriate with not quantified results in these studies in saving water. The trials were replicated three times in RCBD for comprising of …

  Evaluation of Hydraulic Performance: A Case Study of Etana Small Scale Irrigation Scheme: Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia

  By Demisachew Tadele, Fitsum Taddesse, Meseret Bekele

  Abstract: The conventional furrow irrigation system is inherently inefficient in wolaita zone, while the suboptimal management and operation (inflow discharge and cutoff time) are considered as one of the main reasons for satisfactory hydraulic performance. Addressing these issues, the furrow irrigation system which is only practiced in the study area was evaluated on three fields under routine farmer management in wolaita zone. The study consisted of field experiments and simulation modeling. …
