Yield response to water
This publication presents a methodology to quantify yield response to water through aggregate components which form the "handles" to assess crop yields under both adequate and limited water supply. The method presented in part A takes into account maximum and actual crop yields as influenced by water deficits using yield response functions relating relative yield decrease and evapotranspiration deficits. Part B gives an account of water-related crop yield and quality information for 26 crops

Review note on Fanoole rice project rice milling facilities
(Extract from the SUMMARY )Br This note considers the consequences of using the rice milling facilities recently constructed at the Fanoole Rice Project (FRP) to mill rice produced on the Mogambo. Irrigation Project (MIP) as an alternative to providing this project with its own milling facilities. The following main conclusions are reached: br (i) The processing capacity at FRP is insufficient to handle the entire crop production from the Mogambo Project. br (II) The comparison of capital and running costs of the two alternatives given below clearly indicates the advantages of a separate mill for Mogambo. br

Hydrometry project Somalia, Final report stage I
(Extract from Introduction)The project was concerned with the operation of the hydrometric network of river level and flow gauging stations on the two main perennial watercourses of Southern Somalia, the Juba and Shebelli rivers, The project was initiated following a request by the Somali Government for assistance to bridge the gap between the end of a FA0 funded project (FAO/TCP/SOM 8906 + 0104) in 1980/81 and the proposed establishment of the national 'Water Centre', part of a UNDP 'IFF country programme originally scheduled for 1985. A joint proposal (April 1983) by Sir M. MacDonald and Partners (MMP), and the Institute of Hydrology (IOH) was accepted by the Overseas Development Administration (ODA), and the project commenced in November 1983

Farjano settlement project - Land evaluation
(Extract From Introduction)This land evaluation of the Farjano Settlement Project in the Lower Shabeelle Region of Somalia examined 16 000 hectares of alluvial soils. The evaluation was requested by UNHCR with the aim of locating land suitable for semimechanised rainfed (dryland) agriculture on which refugee settlers will become farmers, under the direction of a.farm management system that provides land preparation and planting services. The evaluation was also to examine the land suitability for settlement location, forestry and small-scale irrigation. A topographic survey was to be carried out to provide a contoured base map, and an additional topographicai survey was requested of the Farjano village irrigated farm (Sheikh Mohammed Hikam).

Jowhar Sugar Estate Feasibility Study for Rehabilitation, Annex 1 - Irrigation and Drainage
This Annex is divided into five sections :-br In Section A (Water resources) we examine the problems of water availability and water quality, both of which are significant in terms of reduced cane yields. Possible solutions to the problem of dry season water shortages are discussed. Br Sections B (irrigation) and C (Drainage) deal with the existing irrigation and drainage systems and describe the alternative ways in which improvements can be made. The proposed rehabilitation measures are discussed in detail. Details of the investigative work carried out on the Estate during the fieldwork phase are presented. BR Section D (Operation and maintenance) discusses the requirements for operation and maintenance of the rehabilitated scheme and presents details of staffing and plant. BR In Section E (Costs) we present the cost estimates of the proposed rehabilitation measures, and recurrent costs for operation and maintenance.
