Low head drip irrigation kits and treadle pumps for smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe: a technical evaluation based on laboratory tests[edit | edit source]

Jeskia Chigerwe, Norbert Manjengwa, Pietervan der Zaag, W.Zhakata, Johan Rockström(2004). 1049-1059, Available: 09/30/2004.
  • Abstract-This paper reports results from laboratory tests of four treadle pumps and eight drip kits currently available in Zimbabwe. The results show that it is viable to irrigate drip irrigation gardens up to a size of 1000m2, if the treadle pump and drip kit are well chosen. Such a garden will not only ensure food security of the farmers, but may also generate significant income.*
