  Irrigation is very crucial for sustaining global food security and poverty reduction, especially during off season food production in developing countries. Plateau state in recent years is exploring extensive irrigation schemes to meet up overwhelming national demands of exotic temperate crops and vegetables. The local farmers relyon seasonal streams and abandoned mine ponds for irrigating their crops, but water in these sources are exhausted easily, leading to increased yield losses. This research explores geoinformation methods to map, select and quantify suitable areas to site reservoirs for sustainable Small Holder Irrigation in Jos East LGA of Plateau state as a case study. Spatial Multi Criteria Analysis (SMCA) and other quantitative tools were employed for the spatial modeling and subsequent analysis. The results revealed that 11 sites are highly suitable in Jos East.
