From a historical perspective up to the present and the future, an analysis of recent research on Ethiopia's irrigation systems and advances was done. The Ethiopian irrigated rice is discussed in this assessment in light of its historical context, present-day development and economic contributions, difficulties and opportunities, and potential for future growth using different scholars. Irrigation techniques are thought to have been used for a very long time during the prehistoric period, with an undefined commencement period. The development of ancient civilization in Ethiopia, however, was probably not fueled by irrigation. Modern irrigation has been used in the Rift Valley basin since the 1950s to produce commercial crops. Governments, foundations, and NGOs are making investments in the creation of irrigation systems, particularly for small-scale irrigations. Irrigation technology is therefore evolving quickly. In contrast to rain-fed agriculture and its potential for irrigation, nevertheless, it makes a relatively small economic contribution to the country. Similar to this, Ethiopia's rice production is primarily rain-fed, and it is not more adaptive to Ethiopian agricultural output than rice's capability for irrigation. Since there are no widely accepted studies or widespread consensus, there is a dearth of detailed research on Ethiopia's water potentials and its developmental implications. Potentially, there are field accounts that have been thoroughly researched and documented. The improvement of Ethiopia's food security and economic growth will undoubtedly be aided by irrigation, provided that water is used efficiently.
