Limpopo Basin Development Challenge

Limpopo Basin The Limpopo is a relatively dry basin and most water in the more productive areas is already claimed.

The basin is a water-scarce environment in which recurring drought and floods cause devastating impacts on the livelihoods of small-scale, subsistence farmers. However, the more pressing development challenge in these farming systems is the unproductive use of water in the more normal rainfall seasons which are much more prevalent.
