  • Changing Hydroclimatic and Discharge Patterns in the Northern Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe
    Changing hydroclimatic and discharge patterns in the northern Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe David Love1, 2*, Stefan Uhlenbrook3,4, Steve Twomlow2 and Pieter van der Zaag3,4 1WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe 2 ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 3 UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands 4 Department of Water Resources, Delft University of Technology, PO Box 5048, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Changing regional and global trends in climate and discharge, such as global warming-related declines in annual rainfall in south-eastern Africa, are likely to have a strong influence on water resource availability, and to increase livelihood risk. It is therefore important to characterise such trends. Information can be obtained by examining and comparing the rainfall and runoff records at different locations within a basin. In this study, trends in various parameters of temperature (4 stations), rainfall (10 stations) and discharge (16 stations) from the northern part of the Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe, were statistically analysed, using the Spearman rank test, the Mann-Kendall test and the Pettitt test. It was determined that rainfall and dis- charge in the study area have undergone a notable decline since 1980, both in terms of total annual water resources (declines in annual rainfall, annual unit runoff) and in terms of the temporal availability of water (declines in number of rainy days, increases in dry spells, increases in days without flow). Annual rainfall is negatively correlated to an index of the El Niño – Southern Oscillation phenomenon. The main areas of rising risk are an increasing number of dry spells, which is likely to decrease crop yields, and an increasing probability of annual discharge below the long-term average, which could limit blue-water availability.

  • 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.
