The study encompassed on assessments at feasibility level and preliminary design of selected earth dams and multi-purpose water conveyance systems to ensure water security within the identified study areas with a broad measure of social equity. The Project aid at multi-purpose benefits, which are cost effective and socially and environmentally acceptable.

The overall objective of the assignment was to provide a range of options for multi-purpose water supply for livestock and irrigation development in a manner that is technically feasible, financially responsible, and environmentally sustainable and based on a workable and cost-effective management. The specific objectives of the assignment was to carry out relevant technical investigations and studies comprising of water resources assessment, socio-economic assessment, agronomy studies, topographical surveys, geotechnical investigations and hydraulic studies and prepare detailed engineering designs and cost estimates and perform financial and economic analysis which would form the basis for investment finance mobilization and project implementation for the various sub-projects to be identified by the study.
