Journal Title: World Journal of Agriculture and Soil Science - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The main objective of the study was to assess experience of Holetta River to traditional irrigation users. In the study both qualitative and quantitative research approaches were used. By Purposive and convenient sampling methods open ended questionnaire and unstructured interview were employed along with direct observation. The management of the river very challengeable.
