Reducing drought and flood vulnerability through innovation, Mayana, Namibia
This case study leaflet discusses CRIDF’s involvement in reducing flood vulnerability in Mayana, Namibia. The Mayana Community Water Project is a local initiative to encourage agricultural production outside of flood vulnerable areas. The project is unique in that it deals with flood risk and vulnerability to drought through the clever application of infrastructure. CRIDF has supported irrigation water supply and developed small-scale irrigation systems in areas outside the floodplain, allowing households to grow crops for consumption and increasing the economic value of crops.
