Two types of system takes water from local catchment (4-6 km2) takes water from the larger catchment (15-80 km2) Sorghum needs about 450 mm for good production 2010 - regarded as good rainfall year = shortage of ~ 100 - 200 mm since storms are very intense = wide spatial variations = higher runoff reduced effectiveness of the rain falling = less availability to farmer/ crop Shows importance of Spate irrigation even in good year Timing of Floods Spate Systems with the
