| dc.description.abstract | The study examines the role of water harvesting irrigation on generating income of households and address what was the challenges for developing water harvesting schemes in Woreda Hentalo Wajerat specific area of the two Tabias, Hagerselam and Arra Asegeda. This study was conducted with the major objectives to assess the performance of water harvesting schemes in the specific areas, to investigate the effects of water harvesting on income generation to enhance food security and employment creation with the existing management activities of water harvesting system in the study area with the aim of promoting best practices. Results are based on household survey and focus group discussion. Data was collected from 90 sample households based on interviews and three different sessions of 30 farmers from the two kebele focus group discussions. The study findings indicated that -water harvesting contributes for food security enhancement and seco-economic demanding intervention currently being under taken inihe rural Ethiopia. However, the production of horticulture obtained from water harvesting irrigation and other benefits such as increased, employment creation and food security are indication that water harvesting especially when it combined with different packages can generate more income. On the other hand because of it is new technology, there are some challenges for the sample households to be solved to sustain the water harvesting schemes. The study of water harvesting schemes in the selected Tabias indicated that after preparing the ponds they did not get the necessary materials and they forced to do it with clay soil. As a result, many of the pods constructed were with no water, with technical failure while some others retain water only for a short period of time after the rain stopped. To sustain the technology it need training for both the experts and farmers to get more water to reduced food insecurity | en_US |
