Abstract by author: |
en_US |
dc.description.abstract |
As early as the German colonial period (1884 -1915) suitable areas were used for the irrigation of various agricultural products. This was, however, practised for private supply rather than on a commercial basis due to the very slow development of water resources in German South West Africa |

dc.description.abstract |
Existing and planned water resource development (dams, water schemes, ground water development) and the expansion of areas currently under irrigation would allow for an increase in Namibian irrigation farming production |

dc.description.abstract |
Nevertheless, Namibian irrigation farming meets only 10 - 15 percent of the local demand for irrigation products annually. Major quantities have therefore to be imported from the neighbouring Republic of South Africa |

dc.description.abstract |
Limited water resources, poor soil quality and reluctance to apply more economic irrigation methods are the main obstacles to the expansion of Namibian irrigation farming |
