GATED FIELD INLET OUTLET/ SPILLWAY

INTRODUCTION

A gated field inlet outlet/spillway is a structure used to control the release of excess water from field to a downstream area. In the rod-kohi area of southern Districts of KP, the sailaba water from mountains is harvested in large tracts of land to allow it to percolate for crop production and improve ground water recharge. These are structures where soil is protected from being lost with excess of runoff water. Gated field inlet outlet/spillways not only harvests flood water in fields but also trap soil sediments to increase soil fertility and enhance crop productivity

UNIT COST OF GATED FIELD INLET OUTLET/ SPILLWAY

  • The average unit cost of gated field inlet outlet/ spillway is set to be Rs. 0.200 million and will range between Rs. 0.050 million and Rs. 0.400 million.
  • For construction of estimated 1000 gated field inlet outlet/spillway, Rs. 200 million has been allocated.

Engaging 5000 farmers in agricultural practices

TARGETED IMPACTS

  • During the project tenure, a total of 1000 gated field inlet outlet/spillways will be constructed.
  • These spillways will help to irrigate 2500 acres of land sufficiently.
  • Additional land will be irrigated and farming income will increase through irrigated agriculture.
  • Almost 5000 farmers will engage in agricultural practices permanently.
  • Short term employment for 5000 labor will be generated during the construction of these gated field inlet outlet/spillways.
