Challenges and prospects to reduce sedimentation in small-scale irrigation schemes in the Great Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia
Excessive sediment deposition threatened the functionality of numerous irrigated agriculture in Ethiopia by decreeing canal capacity, increasing operation and maintenance costs, and impairing the investment in agriculture. The current research studied sedimentation problems and options for its deposition in two small-scale irrigation schemes in Ethiopia, Arata-Chufa (100 ha) and Ketar (430 ha).
