Summary:
A Tradition in Transition presents an in-depth assessment of the
century-old Wadi Laba indigenous spate irrigation system in Eritrea.
This system has relied on earthern and brushwood structures and
customary water rules to support subsistence livelihoods of the Wadi
Laba communities for many years. The book presents original research,
which analyzes the effectiveness of contemporary water laws and a new
headwork in improving production and standard of living. It also
compares the lack of success of these new approaches with traditional
methods of water management.
