Abstract Interventions of water harvesting technologies (WHTs) in drought-prone areas like the Tigray region (northern Ethiopia) is an option less strategy to alleviate food insecurity issues emanating from water scarcity. Hence, wide spectrums of WHTs were applied in Tigray Region in the last three decades. Thus, this study aimed to assess the WHTs and the subsequent contributions in ensuring households’ food security in Kilete-Awlaelo district of the Tigray Region. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through a household survey (n = 246), focus group discussion, key informants interview, and field observation, and subjected to descriptive and inferential statistical analysis on the SPSS environment. The explanatory power of the WHTs to food security was determined using a regression model. The result revealed that 64.6% of the households applied WHTs while 35.4% not. Though a statistically significant positive relationship (p

集水技术干预埃塞俄比亚干旱和半干旱地区对确保家庭粮食安全的贡献,提格雷成为焦点

摘要 在提格雷地区(埃塞俄比亚北部)等干旱易发地区对集水技术 (WHT) 进行干预是一种减少因缺水而导致的粮食不安全问题的策略。因此,在过去的 30 年中,提格雷地区应用了广泛的 WHT。因此,本研究旨在评估 WHT 以及随后对确保提格雷地区 Kilete-Awlaelo 地区家庭粮食安全的贡献。通过家庭调查(n = 246)、焦点小组讨论、关键知情人访谈和实地观察收集定量和定性数据,并在 SPSS 环境中进行描述性和推理性统计分析。使用回归模型确定预扣税对粮食安全的解释力。结果显示,64。6% 的家庭申请了预提税,而 35.4% 的家庭没有。尽管存在统计学上显着的正相关(p
