Name of the sub-grantee: ALT Telecommunication LLC
Name of the sub-grant project: Supervision and Publicization of Irrigation System Rehabilitation Activities
Brief Description: The rehabilitation of the irrigation system, according to the authorities’ interpretation, means reducing irrigation water losses and tariffs, ensuring accessibility. For these purposes, tens of billions of dollars are spent each year, but the exact opposite is happening. losses are rising, tariffs rise, the irrigation water deficit goes deeper. Comparison of the costs and the situation suggests that something in the field is not necessary and it is necessary to understand the situation in the field by establishing public control.
To this end, it is envisaged to conduct monitoring on the expenditure of the irrigation system and the work to be done. Four discussions will be organized with contractor, local government and water users, two reports will be prepared during the project’s mid-term and summarizing the final results.
As a result, the rehabilitation of the irrigation system will be spent purposefully and efficiently, which in its turn will alleviate the problems of the field.
