The promotion of the micro irrigation technology under the Sustainable Agriculture Water Management Project (SAWMP) has been in operation under the Ministry of Agriculture since 2004. The Project's objective has been to uplift the living conditions focusing the dry zone marginal farmers by providing modern water application technology called the Solar Powered Drip Irrigation (SPDI). The second phase of this project, implemented in 2011, has paid more attention to the Northern and Eastern Provinces. This study evaluates the efficacy of providing solar powered drip irrigation kits and their impacts with changes adopted in phase 2 of the project.
