Techno-economic feasibility of small-scale pressurized irrigation in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda through an integrated modeling approach

Update (07/07/21): Version 2.0 shows the calculation of the Levelized Cost of Irrigation (LCOI) using the present value of the irrigation system's costs. The previous version calculated the LCOI as the annualized costs of the irrigation system. 

This repository contains the input values and simulation results from our study on small-scale pressurized irrigation's effects on primary productivity, electricity demand, and irrigation potential in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda. The climate folder contains ready-to-use files for AquaCrop simulations with daily evapotranspiration (.ETo), precipitation (.PLU), and temperature (.Tnx) data for about 10 years, as well as an ancillary climate file (.CLI). The climate folder name contains the data date range in square brackets as [MMDDYY (start date) - MMDDYY (final date)]. The files in the climate and soil folders are labeled using the id and/or district name (e.g., '1_Nefas Silk.ETo', 'Bugesera.PLU', 'Abim.Tnx') as a unique identifier for each district's set of files.
