This study attempted to find out irrigation management problems in two community-based small-scale irrigation projects of government intervention in the Upper Tekeze Basin. The analytical frame of the study was based on the definition of irrigation in the organizational sense. The central arguments of the research are that irrigators should not be taken as passive recipients of external intervention as to simply follow pre-planned and laid-down rules, and that irrigation technologies are socially constructed, have social requirements for use and social effects. The objectives of the study were to identify irrigation activities that are associated with problems in irrigation management performance; and to find out socio-cultural contexts that entail management problems in irrigation activities. Secondary data review, key informant interview, focus group discussion and household interview survey were used as methods of data collection. The data were collected in two stages - reconnaissance and second round visit to the study area. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used for the data analysis. Readily quantifiable data (most of the information from the close-ended questions of the survey questionnaire) were entered into the SPSS program, and the output was seen using tabulation and cross tabulation with values of percentage. Most information from key informant interviews, focus group discussions and openended questions were analyzed by using qualitative description. The major findings are the following: Irrigation activities associated with major problems in managing the socio-cultural issues in the two study schemes are operation, maintenance, water allocation, water distribution, decision-making and conflict management whereas socio-cultural contexts entailing management problems in irrigation activities are land rights, labour shortage linked with gender of household heads and religion, shortage and inappropriate usage of supporting services, problems in input and output market, and local institutions.

Groundwater for Sustainable Livelihoods and Equitable Growth explores how groundwater, often invisibly, improves peoples’ lives and livelihoods. This unique collection of 19 studies captures experiences of groundwater making a difference in 16 countries in Africa, South America and Asia. Such studies are rarely documented and this book provides a rich new collection of interdisciplinary analysis. The book is published in colour and includes many original diagrams and photographs.
Spring water, wells or boreholes have provided safe drinking water and reliable water for irrigation or industry for millennia. However, the hidden nature of groundwater often means that it’s important role both historically and in the present is overlooked. This collection helps fill this knowledge gap, providing a diverse set of new studies encompassing different perspectives and geographies. Different interdisciplinary methodologies are described that can help understand linkages between groundwater, livelihoods and growth, and how these links can be threatened by over-use, contamination, and ignorance.
Written for a worldwide audience of practitioners, academics and students with backgrounds in geology, engineering or environmental sciences; Groundwater for Sustainable Livelihoods and Equitable Growth is essential reading for those involved in groundwater and international development.
