| ABSTRACT: | The study was undertaken to re-assess the development of irrigated agriculture in the Southern Ghors, in the light of changed economic conditions and of recent developments in irrigation techniques. The project was implemented in two stages. Stage 1 consisted of the agricultural development of each Ghor making maximum use of the local Wadi base flow. Also under this first stage, the existing irrigation distribution networks were replaced by piped systems and the irrigation method converted to drip. The resulting saving in water would allow extensions of the area presently under irrigation onto adjacent uncultivated areas. The Stage 1-works should allow cultivation of 50,740 dunums net including existing areas. Stage 2 of the Project considered the further extension of the irrigated areas using water derived from the Wadi Mujib. This stage should permit cultivation of a further 35,220 dunums net. The study comprised of a feasibility report and a number of technical appendices and sets of drawings which covered the carried out investigation in detail: * Appendix A - Topography * Appendix B - Water Resources * Appendix C - Geology * Appendix D - Engineering * Appendix E & F - Agricultural Soil Survey * Appendix G - Economic and Sociology * Appendix H - Project Economic |
