Irrigation Engineer/ Hydrologist/ Project Manager and Drainage Engineer

• Undertook the review/updating of design and cost parameters considered in previous studies;
• Assisted drainage system and improvement needs in the project area;
• Based on the current and future cropping patterns, determined the water requirements for crops to be grown in the service area and, based on conveyance and farm level efficiencies, determined irrigation water requirement;
• Prepared feasilibility level design of irrigation canals and associated control structures and measurement facilities and other required supporting infrastructure as well as farm level facilities, drainage channels and drainage structures;
• Prepared cost of annual O&M of irrigation facilities;
• Recommended and adopted innovations /other available alternatives or technology into the design of canal and canal  drainage systems improvement that will improve farming operation throughout the service area;
• Provided feasibility level design for irrigation canal bases on the actual topographic maps;
• Prepared Hydrologic Analysis and Hydrologic modeling study for the proposed Irrigation Infrastructure project as a basis in the preparation of Feasibility Study in the project  area.

• The expected output includes the following ; viz:

• General Layout showing the proposed service area, existing service area; irrigation canal network and drainage canal network;
• Schematic diagram of irrigation network and drainage network;
• Plan and profile of main canal for irrigation and drainage at least, including canal elements and associated control structures and measurement   facilities;
• Typical canal section plans;
• Sample on-farm level facilities of the proposed project of at least 10% of the proposed/existing service area;
• Inventory of canal structure along main canal main and lateral canal;
• Standard plans of canal estimates of irrigation and drainage facilities in latest price level; 

• Cost of annual O&M of irrigation and drainage facilities.
