Water security is negatively impacted by conflict within smallholder irrigation schemes, with governance playing a crucial role.
The study identifies a significant link between perceptions of governance and conflict levels among farmers, highlighting the need for fairness.
Partial least squares structural equation modelling was employed to assess the relationships between conflict, governance, and water security.
Enhancing governance and farmer participation may reduce conflict and ensure better water security in irrigation schemes.
