This project set out to measure and compare the performance of different types of irrigation systems in Zimbabwe. This research examined both large-scale and small-scale irrigation systems, but with greatest emphasis on smallholder systems under Agritex community, and individual management. ARDA systems which include smallholders on a settler component were also included in the study. One of the major objectives of the research project was to develop and test a methodology for assessing smallholder irrigation performance in Southern Africa.

A research paper on how to measure irrigation performance in Zimbabwe.
