IRRIGATION REHAB III

closed

The Third Rehabilitation Project consists of the repair and construction of barrages, weirs, and minor canal structures; desilting and clearing of primary and secondary canals; repairs to canal side-slopes and embankments; construction of step landings on canal banks to control access for domestic purposes; the improvement and construction of drainage canals and structures; repair and construction of surface roads and inspection canals along primary and secondary canals; construction of new canals, drains, structures and inspection paths on limited extension areas, and the construction of the first 50 m of each tertiary canal with structures. Farmers traditionally supply their labor free to construct and maintain these canals. In the event that they fail to do so in reasonable time, agreement was reached that the Government will cause all tertiary canals to be completed within 12 months after the first 50 m of such canals have been completed by PROSIDA.
