Project for the water control and management of the Shebelli river Somalia; volume 2 - The Balad flood irrigation project Feasibility study
Early in 1966 the Government of the Somali Republic requested United Nations Special Fund assistance in making feasibility studies of a controlled irrigation scheme and a flood irrigation scheme in the Shebelli Valley and in developing a plan for management of the Shebelli River waters. This request resulted from the recommendation of the 1961 -66 Special Fund Project - Somalia, Agricultural and Water Surveys - that such feasibility studies be undertaken. In response to the Government's request the United Nations Development Programme (1) authorised in June 1966 a project entitled andrdquoWater Control and Management of the Shebelli River, Somaliaandrdquo. The project was assigned to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations as the Executing Agency. The Plan of Operation was signed in September 1967 and this Agency contracted with Hunting Technical Services Ltd. of U. K. to carry out the work for the project. The results of the project investigations are presented in volumes I, II and III of this report. This is Volume II - Balad Flood Irrigation Project Feasibility Report , the others being: Volume I - General Report and Volume III - Afgoi-Mordille Controlled Irrigation Project, Feasibility Report.

Tropical crops; Dicotyledons (I)
This volume presents basic information on the botany and agronomy of tropical dicotyledonous crops In the text proper the crops are given under their plant families, which are arranged in alphabetical order. Similarly, the genera are arranged in alphabetically within the families. This seems to be preferable to group the crops the crops according to the type of commodity they produce, e.g. libre crops, oil seeds, etc.

General Survey of the Somaliland Protectorate, 1944-1950
An attempt has been made in this Report to describe the general geography of the Somaliland Protectorate from existing know1edge and from the results of a seven-year General Survey(1944-1950). Special attention has been paid to those aspects of geography that had not previously been sufficiently studied by research workers in the Protectorate (e.g. Time, Topography, Meteorology, General Geology, and the Ecology of nomadic stock-herding tribesmen). It is hoped that the factual material contained in the document will be of value for reference purposes to all interested in the Protectorate, of use in planning positive development and in preventing expenditure on uneconomic developmental schemes.
