NIGER - Agriculture Water Management Investments: Drip Irrigation and Low pressure irrigation system Biophysical Suitability
Physical suitability for Drip irrigation and low pressure irrigation systems (Californian) has been assessed on the basis of:
Travel time to markets: Setting a threshold < 4 hours High suitability, 4-8 hours Medium and >8hours low we refine a bit more the suitability. Input grid: Travel time to the closest city with more than 20.000 inhabitants.

Groundwater potential: An estimated Static Groundwater Level Depth has been generated by interpolating a boreholes georeferenced database provided by the Ministère de lâHydraulique du Niger. A 10 m depth threshold was stablished taking into account that the most common 3.5 CV small motor pumps have 10m as maximum pumping height.
