Description: Spate irrigation is mainly practised in arid and semi-arid areas of the world, such as the Middle East, Northern and Western Africa, the Horn of Africa, South and Central Asia as well as parts of Latin America, where rainfall is too low for rainfed agriculture. Spate irrigation is a type of irrigation where flash floods with short duration coming from mountainous catchment areas are diverted from the riverbeds to irrigated arable land.
