Engineering study examines low-cost irrigation solutions in Mali, suggesting enhanced productivity and sustainability.

The main aim is to design affordable irrigation systems to combat water scarcity in Mali's agricultural regions.
Conducted site visits and consultations with farmers
Applied cost-benefit analysis to evaluate irrigation technologies
Tested solar-powered drip irrigation systems against traditional methods
Solar-powered drip irrigation reduced water usage by up to 30% compared to flood irrigation
Identified strong potential for scaling low-cost irrigation solutions in Mali
Economic benefits expected for farmers using solar-powered systems

Traoré et al. (2002) studied this question.
