Abstract
<p>All the countries of the IGAD region recognize the potential of irrigation as a means to substantially raise agricultural productivity and improve their food security situations. Yields from irrigated agriculture can be higher than non-irrigated agriculture by a factor of three or more times. This has been demonstrated in Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan. In Sudan, for instance, output from irrigation constitutes about 60% of total agricultural output, while in Kenya it is about 18% of total agricultural output. Most of the countries have therefore plans for expanding irrigated agriculture as well as rain-fed agriculture.</p>

Supplemental Information
<p>Domestic demand grows from 213.3 Million m3 in 2017 to 326.3 Mill m3 in 2025 and and 849.3 Milliom m3 in 2050. This demand together with the industrial water demand translates to 4%, 8.6% and 15% of the available water resources in the basin for 2017, 2025 and 2050. Most of the demand is in Ethiopia particularly the Oromia region. As can be seen from the monthly flow distribution (Fig 4.4.9) the water supply is erratic with high flows in April and May, and October and November. The low flows in December to March, and June to September necessitate a storage capacity to mitigate the effects of deficit during the dry months. This will be in the form of a dam or reservoir. The water demand for agriculture will grow from 26% in 2017 to 45% in 2025 and 170% in 2050 causing serious demand deficit in 2050 as this would require more water than is available. However this would require a combination of measure including limiting the irrigated areas, more efficient methods of irrigation, augmenting the available water with groundwater resources, water harvesting, and storage facilities. Irrigation efficiencies of upto 50 percent should be envisaged.</p>
