In the study, researchers explored how a small-scale irrigation project in Tyhefu could help rural areas grow sustainably. They observed the scheme's impact on agriculture and local livelihoods. By examining crop yields and farmers' incomes before and after the project, they found that the irrigation system boosted both significantly. Additionally, the project led to changes in farming practices, resulting in more diverse crops being grown. The research highlights how investing in small-scale irrigation can improve rural development by increasing agricultural productivity and income for farmers.
