Major components of the Eighth Irrigation Project are: (a) rehabilitation of 75,000 ha of the 140,000 ha Madiun irrigation system in East Java, including introduction of tertiary systems on 30,000 ha; (b) construction of flood control and drainage works and inspection roads on 5,700 ha of low-lying coastal land in the Ciujung irrigation system in West Java; (c) establishment of a 2,800 ha groundwater pilot project at three separate locations in the Madiun-Solo area. In addition, the project makes provision for consultant services; extension of an ongoing audio-visual training program for operation and maintenance and construction personnel (including necessary buildings); establishment of a centralized records depository and retrieval system for documents related to Bank-assisted irrigation projects; and production of additional large-scale maps covering all unmapped areas of PROSIDA-managed irrigation systems.
