Groundwater Modeling and Optimization of Irrigation Water Use Efficiency to

sustain Irrigation in Kobo Valley, Ethiopia

Page 2: Introduction and Rationale

Introduction and RationaleLocation: Northern Eastern Amhara regional state, Ethiopia

rich in fertile soil and has a potential of over 10,000ha of land to irrigate. Groundwater is the main source & irrigation is the main sector.

Recharge Abstraction of Groundwater and Pumping scenarios. On-farm water management and Irrigation water use efficiency

A1. Introduction to IWRM

Page 3: Introduction and Rationale

Major Problems• Low and erratic rainfall distribution limits production & food security.• Absence of scientific and local groundwater resource management is

the main factor for sustainable use of ground water.• Due to poor on-farm water management, there is excessive use and

this leads to high energy cost.

Key Research Questions

• What is the recharge and abstraction of groundwater in the study area?

• What are the impacts or drawdown of wells under different well operation scenarios?

• How does on-farm water management will be successful to improve irrigation efficiency?

Major findings• Total recharge is calculated using water balance and Darcy’s approach (94.8MCM &

82.6MCM respectively)

• Model simulated total recharge is resulted in 117.9MCM

• The water budget of the model domain indicates that the valley gets more recharge from horizontal flux(79.9MCM) than other recharge sources.

• Model calibration evaluation shows that the simulated head matches reasonably the observed head with RMSE of 6.63m.

• The contour map of the simulated heads is in agreement with the flow direction of conceptual model.

• The model was run for two pumping scenarios. Hence a total of 2.79 x104m3d-1 and

5.58 x104m3d-1 abstracted water resulted in an average decline of groundwater level by 14m and 32m respectively.

• Groundwater reserve was calculated as 1206MCM for HG &1190MCM for WG basins.

• Allowable exploitable amount of water was also estimated as 714MCM for HG & 724MCM for WG sub-basins so as to propose additional wells of 78 & 75 respectively.

Major findings• Comparison b/n observed & simulated head of different scenarios.

• The Aqua crop model predicts the irrigation water demand of 404mm for maize but the existing condition uses 730mm of irrigation water pumped from a well of 50l/s average discharge to irrigate an average of 45 ha of land with less production.

Pumping scenarios• Scenario-one scenario-two

Page 10: Introduction and Rationale

Conclusions• The field observation together with the simulated output can be used to realize the

aquifer systems of the valley under steady state condition.

• The calibrated model was able to reasonably simulate the hydraulic heads that match the observed head with out changing the general hydraulic gradient of the valley.

• Groundwater abstractions under scenario-one and two resulted in a maximum groundwater decline of about 26m & 45m respectively at well HG8,which currently has a discharge of 26l/s from 50 l/s.

• The calibrated model simulated water budget shows that the valley gets more inflow from high lands through horizontal flux.

• The Aqua crop model simulation results clearly indicate how to improve on-farm water management and optimize water use efficiency with a good production.

• Additional wells of 78 for Hormat -Golina and 75 for Waja-Golesha sub –basins is proposed keeping the minimum radius influence of 250m based on the allowable exploitable water.

Page 11: Introduction and Rationale

Recommendations• Optimum operation of wells ( up to 35 wells) at a time is recommended keeping the

minimum distance between two closer wells at 500m.

• The output from this study can be used as a starting point for transient state groundwater modelling for better predictions of pumping effect and for better recharge simulation

• Interested professionals can use MODFLOW for similar areas of interest.

• Careful attention should be taken regarding the use of pesticides, and over fertilizing that causes groundwater contaminations.

• Artificial recharge and water shad-management practices should be enhanced to increase the natural recharge.

• Regular monitoring of groundwater level in wells is recommended so as to understand the variations in time for groundwater heads.

• River gauging & meteorological stations should be installed in order to improve data availability and better understanding of the sub-basins water balance.
