Led group of four on research project on crop water use efficiency and water demand to an efficient irrigation and water management at the Golinga Irrigation Scheme in Northern Ghana Conducting market research with farmers on the crop water use, soil depletion and optimal irrigation schedule for the crops grown in the study area Performing analysis using WEAP model on the seasonal water demand and crop water use efficiency to propose improvements for favorable irrigation practices Collaborated with fellow students from diverse places of Africa including Malawi, Rwanda, Togo, Tanzania, Mozambique, Sudan, and Burundi, fostering cross-cultural collaboration and expanding my network Research will be published in a Scopus index journal as a contribution of the climate adaptation strategies for sustainable water resources management. For an optimal consumption of water by the crops grown in the study area, irrigation at 50% depletion of Total Available Water revealed to be more favorable. Proposed model reduced water wastage by 33.5%
