  • 110 km of irrigation canals (earth canals and paved canals)
  • 180 km of drainage system
  • Protection against floods control infrastructures (20 km of dykes and 18 km of upfront peripheral drains)
  • 150 km of tracks

  • Topographic survey, soil study (pedological), Hydrological and Geotechnical survey
  • Socio-economic study
  • Schematic and Detailed Design
  • Tender Documents
  • Supervision of works

The project includes the implementation of a Geographic Information System (GIS).
