  • Conservation Tillage for Soil Water Conservation in The
    Conservation Tillage for Soil Water Management in the Semi Arid Southern Zimbabwe W. Mupangwa ab, S. Twomlow a, S. Walker b aICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, P O Box 776, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe bDepartment Soil, Crop and Climate Sciences, University of Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa Abstract Planting basins and ripper tillage practices are major components of the recently introduced conservation agriculture package that is being extensively promoted for smallholder farming in Zimbabwe. Besides preparing land for crop planting, these two technologies also help in collecting and using rainwater more efficiently in semi- arid areas. The basin tillage is being targeted for households with limited or no access to draught animals while ripping is meant for smallholder farmers with some draught animal power. Trials were established at four farms in Gwanda and Insiza to determine soil water contributions and runoff water losses from plots under four different tillage treatments. The tillage treatments were hand-dug planting basins, ripping, conventional spring and double ploughing using animal-drawn implements. The initial intention was to measure soil water changes and runoff losses from cropped plots under the four tillage practices. However, due to total crop failure, only soil water and runoff were measured from bare plots between December 2006 and April 2007. Runoff losses were highest under conventional ploughing. Planting basins retained most of the rainwater that fell during each rainfall event. The amount of rainfall received at each farm significantly influenced the volume of runoff water measured. Runoff water volume increased with increase in the amount of rainfall received at each farm. Soil water content was consistently higher under basin tillage than the other three tillage treatments.

  • Poverty and Rural Development; Tapping from the Grassroots
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 2 Issue 5 ǁ May. 2013ǁ PP.21-35 Poverty And Rural Development; Tapping From The Grassroots. 1Edmos Mtetwa, 2Charles Dziro, 3Stella Takaza 1,2Lecturer, 3Assistant Slecturer University Of Zimbabwe School Of Social Work Private Bag 66022 Kopje Harare ABSTRACT: The situation of structural poverty in Zimbabwe has hardly improved during the last few years and Matabeleland South, like any other Province in the country, has not been spared its devastating effects. The Province has borne the brunt of the poverty due to a number of reasons. The following are some of the visible features that have characterized the Province: The accessibility of most rural services and infrastructure by most people has deteriorated due to reduced public spending. There is no stable source of income and no reliable access to food for the majority of the people in the Province. The health and educational services are of low standard and are sometimes not accessible to the poorer sections of the society. The productive capacity of the Province has been affected by persistent droughts and other disasters such as cyclones and HIV and AIDS. In view of the above, the overall goal of this discussion is to build a common understanding of poverty among several stakeholders, its root causes, its manifestation in the Province, but more importantly, how it can be reduced. I. INTRODUCTION Matabeleland South Province is one of the ten administrative provinces in the country. It is located in the south and South-western part of the country.

  • Evaluation of the Effects of Different Water Demand Scenarios on Downstream Water Availability: the Case of Thuli River Basin
    Evaluation of the effects of different water demand scenarios on downstream water availability: The case of Thuli river basin Sangwani Khosa a,b1, David Love c,d and Marloes Mul e a Department of Civil Engineering, University of Zimbabwe, PO MP 167, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe b Ministry of Irrigation and Water Development, Department of Irrigation Services, P.O. Box 30797, Lilongwe, Malawi c WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe d ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe e UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Thuli river basin, in south western Zimbabwe, is situated in a semi-arid area, where surface water resource availability is a constraint. There is intensive use of blue water in the upper catchment more than its lower reaches. The paper presents the evaluation of the effects of upstream water demand scenarios on downstream users in the river basin. A model was applied as a tool to simulate the effects. The impacts of different water demand scenarios on downstream water availability were evaluated. The water demand scenarios used were based on government recommendations and future plans on water resources development, drought risk mitigation, implementation of environmental water requirement and implementing inter basin transfer (IBT) to Bulawayo, the second largest city in Zimbabwe. The study showed that implementing IBT will increase water shortages for downstream users while enforcement of environmental water requirements, implementation of government plans on water resources development in the catchment and drought risk reduction; decreases water shortages for downstream users. It is therefore clear that while the IBT is an important development for Bulawayo, the river basin management of the Thuli river basin requires a holistic approach.
