In runoff irrigation, overland flow generated by heavy rain storms is directed to cropping areas without temporary storage facilities. This ancient technique encounters new interest to make better use of the scarce water resources in semi-arid regions. In a recent research project, parameters relevant to runoff irrigation have been elaborated. The topographical, climactic, hydrological, pedological, agricultural, and sociological conditions are the most important ones in determining the suitability of runoff irrigation. Field visits, statistical analysis, evaluation of aerial photographs and of satellite images are the means to establish the parameters. This paper deals with experiences gained in a case study in the West African Sahel.
