Irrigation Access and Efficiency - Sub-Saharan Africa

Synthetic dataset capturing irrigation infrastructure, access, and water use efficiency among smallholder farmers. Covers irrigation types, water sources, costs, and productivity impacts across diverse farming systems.

Dataset Statistics

Scenario	Records

Usage Example

import pandas as pd

# Load the dataset
df = pd.read_csv('irrigation_access_efficiency_africa_moderate_burden.csv')

# Irrigation access by country
access = df.groupby('country')['has_irrigation'].mean() * 100
print(f"Irrigation access by country:\n{access}")

# Efficiency by irrigation type
efficiency = df[df['has_irrigation']].groupby('irrigation_type')['irrigation_efficiency_index'].mean()
print(efficiency)

# Compare yields: irrigated vs rainfed
yield_comparison = df.groupby('has_irrigation')['yield_increase_pct'].mean()
print(yield_comparison)
