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
