note = "Funding Information: This research was funded by research by the Scottish Government, under the Scottish Government Climate Justice Fund Water Futures Programme (CJF) research grant HN-CJF-03, awarded to the University of Strathclyde (Professor R.M. Kalin). Funding Information: Malawi is a small landlocked country with a population of 18 million people that is rapidly growing by around 3% annually [57]. It is the most densely populated country in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) [58]. It had a national poverty rate in 2016 of 52% and extreme national poverty rate of 20% [59]. Over 80% of its population lives in rural areas and are mostly employed in subsistence farming. This study contributes to the Climate Justice Fund (CJF) Water Futures Programme of research, funded by the Scottish Government, that aims to assist the Government of Malawi in achieving SDG 6 (www.cjfwaterfuturesprogramme.com). CJF is led by the University of Strathclyde and provides local-to-national scale coverage across a broad range of water resource issues [5,6,60–62]. The field demonstration phase of this study was implemented within a CJF geographic focus area that covers most of the Traditional Authority (TA) of Mazengera located the Lilongwe District of Central Malawi (Figure 1).
