Agroclimatology of Somalia, Technical report no. 12
This volume is intended to be used by scientists, engineers consultants, students, and others who wish to gain a greater understanding of the Agroclimatology of Somalia. It does not assume any prior knowledge of the subject, but it has been written with the intelligent mind in view. It does not pretend to present in full all available information on the agroclimatology of Somalia, since, for rainfall at least, these have been presented elsewhere, but it does offer comprehensive information on,certain subject matter which is not foreseen to be published elsewhere. Rather, does it intend to provide the reader with the basis of knowledge to enable the best use to be made of any agroclirnatic information.

Compendium of agricultural statistics
The main intention of this campendium is to provide users with all available statistics about crop production in Somalia which has been gathered from other sources by the Food early warning System project from 1982 onwards. However all statistics from other sources have also been given to build a comprehensive whole. As well an introductory note and for the convinience of the reader, general information about the country and its agricultural sector and more detailed information about each region have been included, so as to clarify what otherwise would have been a dumb enumeration of figures

Groundwater Salinity Study October - November 1987
When agricultural operations in the Mogambo Irrigation Project (MIP) area started in 1985, the management team for the agricultural development of the area expressed its concern about the high salinity levels and low hydraulic conductivity of the subsoils. They suggested that this could seriously affect the growing of rice and other crops in the area. The same concerns were expressed by Sir M. MacDonald and Partners Limited (MMP) in their Supplementary Feasibility Study Report. This Program were set up to investigate br-the effects of crop rotations, particularly rice double cropping, water table depth and salinity br-the nature and permeability of subsoils in both the Mogambo project and the nearby Fanoole rice project br- the influence of irrigation on root zone salinity

Farahaane Irrigation Rehabilitation Project - Topographical and Cadastral Survey Report
Both the Cadastral and topographic survey work were carried out as part of the data collection stage of the Farahaane Irrigation Rehabilitation Project under an agreemeat between the Ministry of Agriculture of the Somali Democratic Republic and Sir M MacDonald and Partners Ltd. The aim of the surveying work was to provide adequate appropriate information to permit the preparation of detailed designs and contract documents to be drawn up for international tendering. The overall aim of the project is to rehabilitate a net area of about 4 700 ha, emphasis being placed upon the provision of drainage, improved roads and the remodelling of existing canals, along with the provision of silt free water throughout the year. br

Jubba environmental and socioeconomic studies Volume IV - Bibliography
This bibliography is a revised version of the JESS bibliography that was published in 1986, relating specifically to social and environmental systems in Somalia as well as river basin assessment and planning, in general. Many new references have been added and the bibliography has been organized into 22 different sections, corresponding to the subject codes (BIBCODE) being used by the JESS team in Somalia. In each section, citations are listed alphabetically by author or issuing body, and citations dealing specifically with Somalia have been separated from other references within the same section. Each citation is listed only once even if it is multidisciplinary and since it was impossible to secure copies of all references cited, many are simply classified according to the informarion contained in the title. brThe bibliography includes selected monographs, conference papers, journal articles. book chapters. reports, JESS studies and dissertations.

Mogambo Irrigation Project, Report on phase II development - Surface irrigation
(Extract from the introduction) The Mogambo Irrigation Project (MIP) have suggested that a limited development of the Phase II area could be implemented by the inclusion of the areas of basin soils not developed under Phase I together with the marginal areas of land included in the Phase II area proposed for sprinkler irrigation but capable of economic development by surface irrigation. This note delineates these areas and proposes surface methods of irrigation suitable for these lighter soils with a less uniform topography.

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
