Key points learned

1. Bureaucracy is the main obstacle in realization of

irrigation infrastructure.

2. Make sure you have a complete cadaster map for all

areas of works before you start.

3. Find yourself the best local engineering partner you

can find.

4. Careful planning is the key risk mitigation for this

type of projects.
