An alternative to the conventional forms of irrigation is described. This alternative, termed "micro-scale irrigation" already has a proven success rate with africa's farmers. This paper discusses the development of a package which addresses the needs of such farmers. Recent studies in Zimbabwe have highlighted the present role and future potential of micro-scale irrigation on dambos. Alluvial resources, although not utilized to the same extent offer similar potential. The use of human powered pumps is one method by which the potential of these shallow groundwater resources can be realized. Extension and credit are identified as critical factors. The need for planners to recognize and support this alternative is emphasised.

With the limitations placed on available surface water, conjunctive use of ground water and surface water in an effective manner, has drawn a lot of interest over the years. It is becoming increasingly evident that exploration of ground water and enforcing regulations in exploiting the same should get high priority.

Volume calculations in various aspects of groundwater resources evaluation play a significant role. However, these calculations are made by different classical techniques, each of which employs the finite element concept. A common requirement in these techniques is the adaptation of a basic height- like contour interval. The accuracy of the estimated volume is influenced by the subjectivity on the part of the person doing the contouring on a specified contour interval. It is observed that there is a linear relationship between the contour interval and the estimated volume. The basic idea of this paper is to use a simple drawing procedure of a few points of different contour intervals versus the resulting volumes. A regression line is fitted through the scatter of these points. The best volume estimate corresponds to zero contour interval, i.e., the intercept of the straight line with the volume axis. This technique provides a common basis in that different researchers arrive at exactly the same conclusion for a given data set. The proposed method is verified by calculating the reservoir volume of a laboratory dam model with the known reservoir volume. It was found that the estimated volume was off by only 5 per cent of the measured one. Further applications of the method are given for some observed data from the Floridan aquifer and a Black Hills dam reservoir.
