B3.2.2 Irrigation techniquesRainwater harvesting
• The collection and concentration of runoff
• Sits between rain-fed agriculture and traditional irrigation– Can produce a crop where none is possible
with simple rain catchment
• Usually in arid and semi-arid areas but also suited to semi tropical
• Rainwater is purer than ground or surface water– salinity

B3.2.2 Irrigation techniquesRainwater harvesting: limitations
• Climatic fluctuations– Yields cannot be guaranteed
• Potential up and downstream conflict (but less than “traditional” irrigation
• Some scientific uncertainty
• Large schemes difficult to implement

B3.2.2 Irrigation techniquesRainwater harvesting: Microcatchments
• Small (thus the name) 1-1000m2
• Catchment and cropping areas adjacent
• Crops are usually a single tree/catchment or small annual crop
• No overflow
• Small area ratio (1:1 – 10:1)
• Tend to be in series of units
• Efficiency 0.5-0.6

B3.2.2 Irrigation techniquesRainwater harvesting: Macrocatchments
• Big 750-10,000m2
• Used for all types of crops
• Often includes overflow structures
• larger area ratio (10:1– 100:1)
• Efficiency 0.2-0.4

• Can be diverted to conventional-style irrigation or microcatchments
• Variable size Ha – km2
• Used for all types of crops
• Variable area ratio (1:1– 10,000:1)
