The purpose of this project is to develop and adopt strategies especially in the area of water, traditionally an undervalued resource, require an authoritative knowledge and evidence of benefits. Furthermore, efforts are required in building of consensus on how to measure productivity of water in agriculture, and the means for achieving higher productivity. All these require information, knowledge and tools that do not exist today. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed project is to identify and verify with stakeholders, new knowledge demanded by relevant institutions regarding alternative and best options for improving productivity of water in agriculture and interacting systems. These studies are carried out in the Great Ruaha River and its catchment within the Rufiji Basin in Tanzania and the Tekeze/Atbara River and its catchment in Ethiopia within the Nile Basin.
