This research aims to identify economically viable irrigation solutions to address water scarcity in Mali's drought-prone areas.
Conducted field surveys to gather data on local agricultural practices and preferences.
Utilized participatory rural appraisal techniques for community involvement in design.
Performed cost-benefit analysis to evaluate potential irrigation technologies.
Implemented field trials to compare new systems against traditional methods.
Field trials showed a 30% average increase in crop yields with new irrigation solutions.
Water savings reached up to 75% compared to traditional irrigation methods.
Low-cost options were identified that can be scaled and promoted in local farming communities.
