Performance Evaluation of Small Scale Irrigation Schemes By Using Process and Comparative Indicators: Case Study on Golina and Kokono Small Scale Irrigation Schemes, North Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia

Meteorological factors that mostly influence food production of any Nation are rainfall and temperature. Their extremes are significant and observable indices of evidences of negative climate change scenarios and adequate knowledge of extreme events will help in policy making to save the nation of future losses due to their extremes. With the advent of climate change, rainfall and temperature patterns are potential threats to achieving the SDG’s of zero hunger and poverty eradication, coupled with the ever growing world population and development. This paper x-rays rainfall and temperature regimes of Northern Nigeria over a 47 years period and its trend within 13 states as it has affected farming activities and caused massive migration of herders to more favourable and conducive areas that usually lead to incessant herder- farmer’s crisis in Nigeria.
