Taung irrigation scheme: Redevelopment Planning
(University of Fort Hare, 1992) Agricultural and Rural Development Institute
The second and third ARDRI reports, "Situation Analysis" and "Alternative scenarios and restructuring proposals," contain the motivation for the model elucidated in this report. The financial and other implications of the models are thoroughly discussed in these reports. In this report, a basic model is proposed in which certain concepts are considered fixed. At the same time, other variables allow for the flexibility needed to accommodate the varied skills, abilities, and interests of human beings.

Seasonal rainfall probability analysis for Ciskei.
(University of Fort Hare, 1989) Austin, M. N.
The agricultural production potential of an area is determined by the physical and socio-economic factors which pertain to that area. The physical factors are climate, topography and soil. Rainfall, especially in drier areas such Ciskei, is the most important climatic factor determining agricultural production. Mean annual rainfall is the region in the long-term. It determines the broad agricultural potential of a region if the other factors of climate, topography and soil are not limiting to growth. it is then a reference point from which to start assessing a region's agricultural potential, but it does not provide information on the seasonal distribution of rainfall.
Report on the potential for the development of freshwater aquaculture in the Republic of Ciskei.
(University of Fort Hare, 1987-07) Rose, A. J., Tapson, D. R., and Jordaan, B. D.
The Ciskei Fish Framing Project originated in a series of research studies conducted by the Zoology Department of Fort Hare University, starting in 1970. In 1977 and 1978, interest in freshwater fish production led to approaches from Fort Hare and the JLB Smith Institute for Ichthyology to the Department of Agriculture in Ciskei, aimed at stimulating fish production from Ciskei's water resources. Following requests from the Ciskei Department of Agriculture for the submission of a project proposal on an aquaculture industry for Ciskei, it was decided to place the project under the aegis of the recently established Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute at Fort Hare.
