This research addresses the challenges faced in agricultural productivity in drought-prone regions of Mali.
Utilized a mixed-method approach including field surveys and participatory workshops.
Conducted cost-benefit analyses of irrigation solutions.
Applied a linear regression model to evaluate system performance under different climatic conditions.
Irrigation systems designed increased crop yield by 20% compared to traditional rain-fed methods.
Notable benefits observed for maize farming in arid regions.
Local governments should invest in infrastructure and support farmer training for system maintenance.
