Description
Irrigation Management Information System of Ethiopia (IMISET) is a national web-based information system on irrigated agriculture at national, regional, basin and sub-basin scales. The objective of IMISET is to support in monitoring of the performance and status of irrigated agriculture and making informed decisions and timely planning of appropriate measures by providing accurate and up-to-date information presented in a consistent and standard way. IMISET collects, analyzes and disseminates data and information on irrigated area, water use and production. It keeps records and gives information on location, equipped and actual irrigated area, causes for any discrepancy typology, technology, crops/production, environmental and health effects due to irrigation, estimated net water use by source and irrigation water requirement, irrigation beneficiaries disaggregated by gender, costs subject to data availability and identifies and lists low-performing irrigation schemes as well as irrigation map. WaPOR is one of the major inputs for the IMISET particularly water reference and actual evapotranspiration, precipitation, and transpiration for estimating actual water use for irrigated agriculture and water withdrawal, irrigation and water use efficiency, beneficial fraction of actual evapotranspiration.
Agriculture being a key water user, careful monitoring of water productivity in this sector and exploring opportunities to use it efficiently and effectively are imperative measures to counter the increased pressure on water resources. Effective use of water is quite data-intensive, requiring timely and reliable information on the condition and water consumption of irrigated and rainfed food crops. Sound water management also has a central role to play in this; informed by reliable data, it can help build resilience in the face of increased risks to and demands on our food systems.
