Integrated Water Resource Management for Improved Rural Livelihoods in Limpopo: Workshop Feedback

This report summarizes feedback from the 2nd Scientific Catchment Meeting held in June 2009 in Johannesburg, focusing on integrated water resource management for enhanced rural livelihoods. Participants included delegates from institutions such as IIAM, UEM, and local government sectors, discussing research findings, climate change impacts, and project interventions aimed at addressing water management challenges in the Limpopo Basin. Key topics included shared experiences, effective collaboration among stakeholders, and future research directions to support farmers in adapting to climate impacts and improving irrigation practices.

  1. UEM/FAEF Water for FoodThe Challenge of Integrated Water Resource Managementfor Improved Rural Livelihoods:Limpopo Research ProgramCP 17 Feedback on the Mozambican 2nd Scientific Catchment Meeting Final Scientific Workshop JHB, 15-18th June 2009

  2. Participants • 23 delegates from different institutions • Research & Education (IIAM, UEM, ISPG) • Government (SDAE, ARA-Sul, HICEP; Lower Limpopo Irrigation Project) • Private sector • ONG’s (LWF) • Farmers

  3. Topics Project reports (RWH; Water management & BSc; MSc & PhD results) Climate Change study; WWF experience on small dams management; Lower Limpopo Project-Machongo; Limpopo WM

  4. Feedback from stakeholders • Project interventions (studies) helped to point out solutions for some problems in the Basin…need to establish appropriate channels to influence decision-makers; • Need to establish appropriate mechanisms to share the experiences and results from the project; • Need to establish effective linkages between the researchers, extension officers & farmers;

  5. Feedback from stakeholders… • Future interventions should consider de impact of climate change on sowing dates vs. appropriate RWHT; • More applied research on the Northern dry areas of Gaza Province targeting RW vs. small dams • RWHT should be tested and promoted in regions where farmers do not have alternative to rainfed agricultures (irrigation & wetlands – machongo)

  6. Obrigado! UEM/FAEF
