The construction of dams in Africa is often associated with adverse malaria impacts in surrounding communities. However, the degree and nature of these impacts are rarely quantified and the feasibility of manipulating reservoir water levels to control mosquito breeding has not been previously investigated in Africa. This report describes entomological and epidemiological studies conducted around the Koka Dam and Reservoir in Ethiopia. The research findings confirm the role of the reservoir in increasing malaria transmission and provide evidence that there is potential to use dam operation in integrated malaria control strategies.

Irrigation development has been identified as a means to stimulate economic growth and rural development in Ethiopia. However, little attempt has been made to quantify the contribution of irrigation to national income. Using data from selected irrigation schemes, representing small, medium and large-scale schemes of modern or traditional typologies; the present coverage and planned growth of irrigation, actual and expected contributions of irrigation to the national economy were quantified following the approach of adjusted gross margin analysis. Our results show that irrigation yields 219.7% higher income compared to the rainfed system while its current and future contribution to agricultural GDP is estimated to be about 5.7 and 12% although irrigation covers about 5 and 9% of the total cultivated land area, respectively.

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: A, Haramaya University (Institute of Technology), course: Seiner Seminar, language: English, abstract: This text deals with the impact of irrigation water use on groundwater environment and soil salinity in Ethiopia. Irrigation systems have been under pressure to produce more with lower supplies of water. Various innovative practices can gain an economic advantage while also reducing environmental burdens such as water abstraction, energy use, pollutants, etc. Farmers can better use technological systems already installed, adopt extra technologies, enhance their skills in soil and water management, tailor cropping patterns to lower water demand and usage, reduce agrochemical inputs and more. Water scarcity has been defined as the point at which the aggregate impact of all users impinges on the supply or quality of water under prevailing institutional arrangements to the extent that the demand by all sectors, including the environment, cannot be satisfied fully.

This thesis explores the impact of water harvesting irrigation development through pond, deep well and shallow well on poverty and livelihood in three districts in Northern Ethiopia. The overall working hypothesis of the thesis is that irrigation development has an impact in improving household welfare and reduces the incidence of poverty. The analysis is based on primary household-level data collected from 602 randomly selected households. To analyses the impact descriptive statistics, poverty profile comparison, and econometrics matching method were used. Key conclusions include: First, households{u2019} access to deep well or shallow well irrigation has a significant impact on poverty reduction through increasing household incomes and consumption and overall family employment. It is also highlighted that access to deep well irrigation has a significant effect in reducing household dependency on food aid. However, the thesis{u2019} finding shows no impact of pond water harvesting irrigation in reducing poverty. Second, the empirical results of the econometric matching shows that access to deep well or shallow well irrigation has a significant effects in increasing the consumption expenditure per adult (welfare level) of beneficiary household. However, the thesis found that pond water harvesting does not seem to have significant effect in increasing welfare level of beneficiary households. Thirdly, the cost benefit analysis revealed that investment in shallow well or deep well irrigation is a financially profitable investment to a farmer. However, the economic analysis and sensitivity analysis suggests that only deep well investment is a profitable option from a public investment perspective. The following major recommendation arises on the basis of the findings: the long-term sustainability of shallow or deep well irrigation depends on wise utilization of groundwater resources. Therefore, it is recommended that policy makers take a mixture of policy and regulatory actions to increase the ground water recharge and promote drip irrigations.
