Assessment of effect of management practices and agro-ecology on water productivity of major crops in Meja Watershed, Jeldu District, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
Low water use efficiency is a challenge to crop production in Sub-Sahara African countries. Water is getting continuously scarce due to increased demand and shrinking availability induced mainly by climate change. As agriculture is the major consumer of water, improving crop water productivity is among the ways of overcoming the challenge. Crop production under rainfed system is the major livelihood strategy for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia.
