| dc.description.abstract | Water is an essential element in every aspect of human life; hence no life is possible with out water. MDG and ADLI are closely related with water to achieve the targeted goals. There fo re, these program pressure on water. In arid and semi arid regions where rainfall is not sufficient and also surface and ground water is scarce to sustain domestic water supply and agricultural activities, rain water harvesting becomes the most alternative source of water. Based on the developed conceptual fi'ame work this study explores the challenges of rain water harvesting practices towards its benefits in Dodota woreda Arsi zone, Oromya region. Results are based on data taken from the two sample kebeles. A total of 1 00 (hundred) households were taken. These house holds stratified as users of rain water harvesting, none users and those who stop practicing of rain water harvesting (26 of them users, the rest 74 are non user and those who stopped practicing). The household head was chosen to fill the questionnaire. Both purposive and systematic sampling approaches were conducted to select sample surveyed households, focus group participants and key informants. Purposive was used to select users of rain water harvesting and simple random sampling approach was employed to select non users and those who stopped practicing of rain water harvesting. Simple descriptive statistical tools such as ji'equency, percentage and mean were employed through the program SPSS in order to analyze the quantitative and qualitative data. The study indicated that user of rain water harvesting are benefited in terms of income improvement and domestic water supply. For those who stopped practicing of rain water harvesting and non users, the main factors hindering them ji-om sustain in and to adopt the technology are factors like economic, Social, environmental, management and technological factors are addressed here, however, further research is needed around which type of rain water harvesting technology is suitable for the study area. To promote the adoption of rain water harvesting practices, it is necessary to work on the increasing of the awareness of users and potential users through continuous training and follow up, transferring the technology properly to the benejicimy is very important Accessing the farmer to credit in order to solve financial constraint to adopt the technology. And also strong coordination among stack holders is very vital. | en_US |
