Research QuestionsResearch Questions Main research questions ; How is water management taking place in
the new Dodota spate irrigation system and what are the impacts and effects for irrigation, soil conservation practices and production?
Simplified Sub questions; How will water allocation take place?
Which areas are most severe?Who will manage and decide upon allocation?
Who is going to do the operation and maintenance?What kind of maintenance and means are required?Who is responsible for what?
How will water be applied to the field?According to which rules and bylaws is water division taking place?Who is and how are the fields going to be prepared?
What crops will be grown?Will there be a double crop season?
How are farmers going to improve their livelihood?Will they invest labour and money to improve their livelihood?

Farmers participate inthe maintenance andoperation (contributelabour) and have aresponsibility and asense of ownership
Natural:-Access to land*-Low production
-ODPPC – (OWRB-OWWDSE – OWWCE) Spate Irrigation System
Increase waterAvailability
-Access to irrigatedland-Higher production
Farmersincrease theirproduction
Physical:-Poor transport-No irrigation facilities
-Oromio Road Authority-ODPPC – OWRB-OWWDSE –OWWCESpate Irrigation System
-Infrastructural development-Access to supplemental irrigation
-Improved transportation-Supplementalirrigation system
Farmers use theirrigation system effectiveand use the infrastructure.
Financial:-Food insecure-Some Livestock
Cooperatives -Access to creditsand loans
-Government support-Cash for Investments-Access to other markets
Farmers invest in their productivity and other assets.
