摘要

In the Upper East Region of Ghana high population growth coupled with the impacts of climate and land-use change have led to an increasing demand for water resources. As the yields of rain-fed agriculture are decreasing and become increasingly unreliable a large number of farmers have started to engage in the production of dry-season vegetables. Thereby they are increasing the scarcity of already limited water resources of this semi-arid part of Ghana. The problems of water scarcity can be partly tackled by improving water productivity (WP) in agriculture, the largest consumer of water in the region. In order to better understand water productivity, this study assesses water productivity (WP) in three different forms of irrigated dry-season tomato production. Tomatoes are produced in medium and small-scale irrigation systems where water is provided by gravity as well as in small vegetable gardens where farmers fetch water from hand-dug wells. Irrigation water supply to sample study plots was measured using V-notch weirs at the irrigation systems and a mechanical water-flow-meter at the vegetable gardens. Potential and actual crop water use were determined as soil water balance components in SWAP model for reservoir-irrigated plots and numerically estimated for hand-dug-well irrigated plots. Crop WP was estimated as a ratio of crop yield to: irrigation supply, potential and actual crop water use. Gross margins and returns per unit land and water were also estimated based on costs of the farming inputs. WP at the medium-scale irrigation system was relatively lower man that at small-scale system. This highlights the potential of improving water productivity in medium-scale parameters. The gross margins showed that, hand-dug-wells were more water-productive than the medium and small reservoirs.
