Add to ORKGSoil water management is critical for sustainable crop production, particularly in drought-prone environments. A range of strategies can be used to address spatial (need to improve in-situ infiltration) and temporal (need to improve water holding capacity /storage) to increase soil water availability for crop water uptake and improved yield production and productivity. This paper presents the results from field studies of rainfall and run-off monitoring in rainfed maize-based cropping systems in northern Ghana. Rainfall was measured using rain gauges and run-off was estimated using run-off pits in selected fields plots. Long-term 20-year weather data were used in simulation experiments using a deterministic water balance model to represent ...
