Project Goal and Envisaged Outcomes

The objective of enhancing the capacity of farmers in water management technologies is to intensify
in a sustainable manner agricultural production through improved water control by farmers, with
the envisioning outcome to reduce in gully soil erosion and to improve food security, increase farm
income and raise livelihoods in particular for the small-holder farmers in Nugaal and Bari regions of
Puntland state of Somalia.

Background and Rationale

Among increasingly scarce resources, water is becoming a constraining factor in agricultural

production and in sustaining life in urban and rural areas. Food security is inextricable linked to
water security and can only be achieved through a concerted action to raise water productivity,
maximizing crop production in both rain fed and irrigated farms. The advances from more
effective water management are considerable. A range of techniques and technologies are
available that will ensure a more effective use of water for agricultural production, both in rainfall
and in irrigated farms. Investments are required, but more importantly: advise, technical
guidance and financial support to the users to make sure that the initial constraints linked to the

 introduction and management of new water management techniques and technologies are
adequately addressed.

Putting farmers in charge of Irrigation Management Systems along the technologies and techniques
has proved effective to achieve efficient and sustainable water management systems and to
increase water productivity. This is evident in the transfer of management of irrigation systems to
the immediate beneficiaries.
Explanation
Farmers’ Water Management Technologies and Techniques is the process in which individual
farmers and farmer institutions set objectives for the management of their water resources;
establish appropriate conditions, and identify, mobilize and use resources, so as to attain these
objectives.

This description of Farmers’ Water Management Technologies and Techniques applies to all types
of water-control systems, including irrigation, drainage and flood control systems and associated
activities that resort under the responsibility of farmers, either as individuals or cooperating.
