| dc.description.abstract | The application of water-saving irrigation technology has great significance for maintaining
farmer’s income and the sustainable development of agricultural water resources. However,
farmers in Ethiopia face numerous obstacles while attempting to adopt new Water technologies.
The purpose of this study was to identify determinants of water pump technology adoption and
its impact on smallholders’ income, in Kersa Malima district of Southwest Shewa. Primary and
secondary data were collected from the study area by considering various water pump adoption
factors. Primary data were gathered using scheduled interview, group discussion, and
observation. Two-stage sampling techniques were employed to draw representative samples. The
multinomial logit model (ML) was used to study adoption and a multinomial endogenous
switching regression model (MESR) was employed to evaluate the impacts of adoption on
farmer’s total income. The result of the multinomial logit indicates that education (99%
confidence), livestock holding (not significant), cooperative (99% confidence), and technology
information (99% confidence) are the explanatory variables that affect adoption significantly and
positively. However, distance from market (90% of confidence) and water source (99% of
confidence) is the variables that affect the adoption of water pumping technology negatively. The
finding of the MERS shows that, if the household head adopter decided to non-adopt of solar
powered, diesel powered, or and both solar and water powered water pump, the household total
income intake were decreases by 12.36%, 1.86% and 6.97%, respectively. On other if non
adopter decided to adopt solar pump, diesel and mix of both solar and diesel power pump, their
income will be raised by 31.9%, 19.6% and 25.4% respectively. The result suggests that to boost
more stationmaster pumping technology and increase total household income among rural
households, concerned bodies should strengthen promoting the adoption of solar water pumping
technology. | en_US |
