Description
The ‘Ramadi – Habbaniya’ irrigation project (IP) is located in Anbar Governorate, in the Euphrates River Basin.According to the Ministry of Water Resources, SWLRI Division, and after the meetings during December 2013 to February 2014, the project is ‘Partially Developed’ over an area of 111 thousand Du out of a total command or gross area of about 135 thousand Du (33.75 th. Ha), corresponding to a net area of 118.4 th. Du. The source of irrigation water is the euphrates River.About 131 th. Du are currently cultivated (97% of the total area to be implemented).
Needs
The existing canals need to be rehabilitated and lined. Irrigation and drainage infrastructure has to be expanded. Leaching is needed to get rid of the accumulation of salts on the soil, caused by poor drainage and inefficient on-farm irrigation methods. The water table is shallow and subsurface drains are needed. Efficient on-farm irrigation methods, suitable crop rotation system, good quality seeds and fertilizers, and technical assistance are crucial to achieve high quality and quantity production.
Objective
The objective is to achieve food self sufficiency and security and reduce poverty by improving efficiency and productivity over an area of 111 th.Du and reclaiming an additional area of 24 th.Du.
Screening
Performed under SWLRI phase 2
Beneficiaries
Execute reclamation projects will improve social conditions of lands users by improving soil quality and increase productivity.
