This book presents a new rainwater harvesting technique called in-field rainwater harvesting (IRWH). The technique stems from micro-catchment rainwater harvesting techniques and is applied on mainly clayey and duplex soils in semi-arid climate zones. Research over the last decade on the soil water balance, crop yields and water use efficiencies as well as the application on farmers’ fields is discussed. This book concludes that resource-poor farmers with similar natural resources can benefit immensely by applying the IRWH technique. (Imprint: Novinka)
