摘要

Optimising the efficiency of irrigation water under conditions of scarcity is a common concern of farmers in arid and semi-arid regions as well as those in monsoon climates with long dry seasons. A wide technology gap exists between currently available irrigation technology and the specific water needs of the rural poor. Nevertheless, several household-level irrigation technologies have emerged that can be marketed through private-sector distribution channels at sustainable, unsubsidised prices and still be affordable to even very low-income smallholders. Simple, efficient manual pumps, appropriate drip irrigation, and plastic water storage bags are highlighted as examples of household-level irrigation technologies that meet smallholders' needs for low entry cost, rapid return on investment, high rate of return, low-cost manual operation, easy maintenance, and suitability for small landholdings. Household-level irrigation can be extremely efficient, both in water usage and in targeting economic benefits toward the rural poor. Household-level irrigation systems stand out as simple, practical, and widely applicable tools for catalysing the agricultural potential of smallholders and creating opportunities for more active and effective market participation through the production of income-generating, high-value crops. This paper also outlines a methodology for designing and implementing coordinated interventions to identify and resolve critical smallholder market constraints using household-level irrigation as a strategic entry point. To maximise the poverty alleviation impacts of irrigation, there is a strong need to focus research efforts on improving irrigation effectiveness under smallholder farming conditions.
