  The technical performance evaluation of Koga Irrigation Scheme was made in order to identify management practices for implementation to improve the system operation and the performance of the irrigation system. The evaluation was made based on the selected performance indicators such as water application efficiency, dependability of irrigation interval and sustainability of irrigated command area. The results obtained showed that Application efficiency monitored on three farmers’ farm located on different ends of the command ranges from 52.2 to 61.8% at irrigation scheme. Dependability of the schemes evaluated in terms of irrigation interval shows that the schemes irrigate more frequently than was intended. The sustainability of the irrigated area initially planned for development or the actual irrigated area during the design period was 7,004 ha. However currently it is irrigat.. Read More»
