| Project Detail |
The investments will provide efficient irrigation to 14,300 ha of existing irrigation associations and enable energy efficiencies to an additional 6,100 ha. The system will facilitate climate change adaptation and mitigation by enabling water and energy savings while sustaining the agro-industrial activity and support rural populations in the region. Additionally, a portion of the flow will provide safe and reliable drinking water and industrial uses through six existing municipal water utilities. It will also become an enabling infrastructure for further modernisation of potentially 20 400 ha (out of the current scope), reinforcing the agro-industrial activity in the area and sustaining the livelihoods of rural populations. The project will contribute to Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation and an improved Water management.
