Water Reclamation
A possible solution to address these issues is water reuse. Some studies have pointed out positive effects of water reuse in agriculture: adequate water reclamation can contribute as an additional water source as well as add nutrients for crops, thereby increasing yields (Duran et al 2003) and contributing to urban development (Agodzo et al 2003).
This aim of this study is to evaluate the potentials for water reclamation for agricultural uses in Maputo. This can only be done in collaboration with local partners. From the beginning, the project team has been involved indecision and opinion making such as public discussion groups, national conferences (, and other (international) conferences.
Local Partners & Impact
In addition, other stakeholders such as Eduardo Mondlane have been involved in supporting the research design, implementation of the research, and access to research facilities The Municipality of Maputo is also an active collaboration partner, which has allowed for field work in the city. All in all, the results of this study will help to reshape the current status of water reclamation for irrigation, and better inform the areas of improvement to enable secure water reclamation in Mozambique.
