Canal Upgrade - LangebomeCederberg
Background: Langebome one of 13 Wupperthal Mission Stations
Small community of 25 families
Each family has access to between 1 - 3 hectare land
Water is a limiting factor in the development
The earth canal is a major problem as it leaks, blocked by alien invasive plants, which results in crop losses
Flood irrigation is common practice
