Vaalharts-Taung Irrigation Scheme rehabilitation project, South Africa
Name of the Project
Vaalharts-Taung Irrigation Scheme rehabilitation project.
Location
The proposed project is situated on the border between the Northern Cape and North West provinces of South Africa.
Project Owner/s
The Northern Cape Department of Agriculture and Land Reform, in collaboration with the National Department of Agriculture and other stakeholders.
Project Description
The Vaalharts-Taung Irrigation Scheme has been designated a Strategic Integrated Project by the Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission.
The irrigation scheme is the largest irrigation scheme in South Africa, with about 32 000 ha under irrigation. Water from a diversion weir in the Vaal river flows through an 812-km-long network of canals to water an estimated 1 250 farming units within the scheme. These vary from 25 ha to 75 ha.
In recent years, the condition of the water supply infrastructure has deteriorated and the effect of water logging has increased to such an extent that continued agricultural production on the land has been severely affected.
The project proposes the rehabilitation and upgrading of the irrigation scheme and agribusiness development in the Vaalharts and Taung areas.
