This volume is a revision of the 1954 FAO agricultural paper no.43 including recent legislation and 27 country studies covering some new independent states. Larger investments in water development are increasingly being made in most of these countries. This requires emphasis on legal protection against over-development of water and encouragement of efficient management

(Extract from the summary)The present report describes the methods, findings and conclusions of the soil survey investigations, forming part of the Phase II studies which were carried out in the Homboy Irrigated Settlement Project Area. Chapter 1 gives an account of the general natural and human resources of the area and Chapter 2 describes the soils in more detail, drawing on information gained from the present survey and investigations. The principles and methods employed for arriving at the land suitability classification for the proposed development are described in Chapter 3, along with general guidelines as to suitability for rain fed agriculture. The findings, conclusions and recommendations of this study are presented in the andlsquoSummary and Conclusionsandrsquoat the beginning of the report.

The principal objective of the Soil and land classification studies was to evaluate the potential of land for irrigated agriculture. This essential information was required for the associated master planning and feasibility studies of the Janaale-Bulo Mareerta study

(Extract from the introduction) The terms of reference for the Master Plan contained the following major headings:br Soil survey with special emphasis on salinity problemsbr Topographic survey to prepare maps at a scale of 1: 25 000 using aerial photographybr Agricultural development mappingbr Survey of existing water use and the irrigation systembr Study of hydrology and the need for flood protectionbr Survey of existing hydro geological databr Demographic, economic and social studies.br; br Much of the work on-the assignment is common to both the Master Plan and the feasibility study and for this reason it was decided to use common annexes for both reports. br Volume 1 Master Plan - Main Report brings together all matters relevant to the 70 000 ha Study Area and Volume 2. Feasibility Study - Main Report, similarly covers the selected 5 000 ha Project Area.br; br SUMMARY OF REPORT TITLESbr Master Plan Reportbr Feasibility Study Reportbr Annex I Soilsbr Annex II Water Resourcesbr Annex LII Human Resources and Institutionsbr Annex IV Existing Agriculturebr Annex V Livestockbr Annex VI Potential Agricultural Developmentbr Annex VII Engineeringbr Annex VIII Economic and Financial Analysisbr Annex IX Management and Implementationbr Annex X Survey Databr Annex XI Inception Reportbr
