Data is collected and compiled by FAO Somalia Water and Land Information Management (SWALIM)In recent years, there have been several intervention activities going on in the irrigation sector in southern Somalia, mainly aiming to rehabilitate broken down barrages and clogged irrigation canals. To support these interventions, SWALIM has developed a well-structured tool, for collecting and managing past and present information on the irrigation infrastructure: the Irrigation Information Management System (IIMS), a stand-alone PC system which is available upon request. The IIMS provides information (both spatial and tabular) on ongoing and planned irrigation projects. It gives users of irrigation data a platform to discover what is available, querry the system for specific datasets and download data in different formats, such as .pdf documents, maps, spreadsheets, etc.
