Abstract Farmers in flood‐based irrigation systems face great uncertainties with respect to water supply. Using the Source–Pathways–Receptor and Consequence (SPRC) framework, this paper explores sources of risks, propagation pathways, risk perceptions consequences for farmers, users’ associations (WUAs) managers Gash Agricultural Scheme Sudan. The main source is extreme variability rainfall, causing unpredictable flows regarding volume, timing duration. WUAs system perceive risks from floods...
Abstract Unpredictable flash floods in ephemeral rivers are the water source for spate irrigation systems. An important element success and sustainability of systems is their ability to cope with highly uncertain supply high sediment load. Flexibility considered one key ingredients coping strategies. However, concept flexibility context poorly defined. A framework assess operationalize lacking. In this paper we develop a conceptual by answering four principal questions exploring eight...
The Gezira irrigation scheme in Sudan is one of the largest Africa and contains over 1,200 unregistered illegal villages that are home to immigrant agricultural workers. majority have no source clean domestic water supply, frequently relying on nearby for all their needs. Over 50 per cent population infected with schistosomiasis other water-borne diseases. This paper examines problems such village, Taweel, suggests options improving supply.
