  In Ethiopia small scale irrigation schemes play a vital role in improving the livelihoods of the smallholder farmers’. However, existing small-scale irrigation schemes face various problems related to operation and maintenance, water management and sustainability. This study was conducted to technical performance evaluation of selected Small Scale Irrigation Scheme in Arsi and Western Arsi Zone using irrigation performance indicators. For this two scheme selected were Bubisa from Lemu-Bilbilo district of Arsi zone and Koma Arba from Adaba district of West Arsi Zone. From the study conducted on Bubisa and Koma Arba irrigation scheme using performance indices such as conveyance efficiency (Ec), application efficiency (Ea), on farm water lost (ROR+DPF), storage efficiency (Es), overall efficiency (Eo) and distribution uniformity (DU) and finally identifying problems of the scheme. ..
