Expected project outcomes

• Reduced run off and reduced silt accumulation in the reservoir
• Increase in availability of groundwater and surface water leading to greater drinking water security and water for protective irrigation and drought-proofing
• Increase in biomass production (Vegetation Index) and rehabilitation of biodiversity
• Crop diversification and diverse varieties of each crop grown to increase resilience
• Increase in cropping intensity and agricultural productivity reflecting an overall increase in agriculture production
• Increase in income of farmers/ landless labourers in the catchment area.
