Folks,
I was just updating a page on Gambia when I saw that the irrigated land has declined from 120 sq km (1989 est.) to 20 sq km (1998 est.).
Could this be an error or is it the reality? Can some of our agric sientists or anyone with knowledge on the subject shed some light as to why this decline in irrigated land.
The figures are from The CIA's World Fact Book on Gambia with the latest online at: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ga.html
regards,
Momodou Camara
