- W2337460070 abstract "The performance and profitability of two small reservoirs and irrigation schemes in the Upper East Region of Ghana were investigated in this study. Hydrologic data measured included daily irrigation volumes, daily soil moisture, and daily evaporation. Farmer cost inputs and harvest data were also recorded. Water availability contrasted significantly between the two systems; the Tanga system having a higher amount of available water than did the Weega system. The concept of Relative Water Supply was used to confirm this disparity; Tanga had a Relative Water Supply of 5.7, compared to a value of 2.4 for the Weega system. The Relative Water Supply is the irrigation supply divided by the demand associated with the crops, cultural practices, and irrigated area. It was also concluded that the dissimilar water availabilities resulted in the evolution of very different irrigation methods and management structure. Where there was more water available (Tanga), management could afford to be relaxed and the irrigation inefficient. Where there was less water available (Weega), management was well structured and irrigation efficient. Furthermore, when analyzed at a high market price for crops grown, the Tanga system was half as profitable, in terms of total water used, as the Weega system. Also at a high market price, the Tanga system was 49% more profitable in terms of cultivated land area than the Weega system. The difference in profitability of land is primarily a result of increased farmer cash inputs in the Tanga system as compared to the Weega system. The difference in the profitability of water can be attributed to the varying irrigation methods and management structures, and ultimately to the contrasting water availability. © 2006 Joshua W.
