WLE/ICRISAT integrates smart water management tools and Innovation Platforms in small-scale Zimbabwean irrigation schemes to deliver enhanced water productivity, incomes, and conflict reduction
2019
CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems
The combined use of Agricultural Innovation Platforms and smart water management tools in two small-scale communal irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe, resulted in major improvements in water and land productivity, household incomes, and reductions in conflict levels. As a result, the Director of Irrigation with support from the Australian Council for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) agreed to fund a second project that is extending the model to 30 more irrigation schemes, covering 757 ha and 1698 farmers.
