Agriculture production is largely rain fed in Ghana and West Africa. Meanwhile the rainfall pattern in these arid and semi-arid areas is short and erratic. In the Upper West Region, rainfall starts in May and ends in October. Small-scale irrigation systems have been introduced to ensure food security in the region.

The study was carried out in four districts, Wa West, Nadowli, Lambussie-Karni and Nandom with their respective schemes at Siru, Sankana, Karni and Kokoligu. The scope of the study was to assess the state of irrigation structures, identify challenges and potentials and propose ways to i...
