Senkwasi Irrigation Scheme is a cultivated area in Gwesela West 55.5 km (by air) northwest of Kwekwe in Chief Gwesela's area of jurisdiction. It is 14.6 km northeast of Zhombe Joel.
Senkwasi is sometimes called Sengwazi, Sengwasi or Senkwazi. The place was named after Senkwasi River which is the main contributor into the Senkwasi Dam. Senkwasi Dam is just 300 metres south on coordinates -18.57925° and 29.44065°
Senkwasi is one of the 2 working irrigation schemes in Zhombe.[1] The larger of the two is Ngondoma Irrigation Scheme near Empress Mine. However, in the original Zhombe Communal Land (not Zhombe Constituency) there are two more irrigation schemes; Mayoka Irrigation Scheme in Ward 5 and Exchange Irrigation Scheme[2] in Silobela Constituency.
Senkwasi Scheme is also one of the 17 irrigation schemes in the Midlands Province.
