The study aims to design an optimal low-cost irrigation system for sustainable agriculture in Mali's drought-prone regions.
Conducted field surveys to assess local conditions.
Analyzed climate data to inform system design.
Applied hydraulic modelling to simulate irrigation configurations.
Evaluated a gravity-fed drip irrigation system for water efficiency.
Gravity-fed drip irrigation system showed the highest water efficiency.
Estimated flow rate of 12 liters per hour per plant was achieved.
Identified a cost-effective irrigation solution for drought-prone areas in Mali.

Doumbia et al. (2004) studied this question.
