Climate resilient reverse drip irrigation system Benard Nkole 1,2 1 Centre for Water, Sanitation and Rehabilitation, Zambia, 2 University of Zambia, Zambia This self irrigating project aims to build climate resilience in vulnerable areas, empowering communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change while ensuring sustainable development and improved livelihoods. The project will focus on identifying vulnerable areas around the country, implementing this self irrigating system, and scaling up climate-resilient solutions that address key challenges faced by both urban rural communities. In most urban areas, there is a lack of trees and others essential plants aswell as household gardens due to the limited space and increased construction activities. Furthermore plastic materials like bottles and fluid containers are dumped carelessly by local people. In most rural and high density areas most economic activities are deprived of the youth and water security still remains a big issue for small scale farmers, floriculturists and other entrepreneurs. This suggested idea will deal with these aforementioned problems.
