1.0EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This presentation includes the Report of the Mechitu Spate Irrigation project which has been
studied and designed by Former Arsi Zone Irrigation Development Authority, currently Arsi
Zone Irrigation and Pastoralist Development Bureau and Design Review made by former Oromia
water works design and supervision enterprise, Currently Engineering Corporation of Oromia
and also after that Project construction implemented by the contractor Gemta Construction Plc Jv
with MCG Construction Plc from the contract signing date, April 10,2011 up to, Annual report
June 30, 2015.
Generally, project status is summarized as below:
To Date Physical work status ……...........59.16%
The Project construction works were ceased since July 13, 2022 due to the contractor claimed
for cement scarcity and price adjustment
The project feasibility study and detail design were executed on April, 2016 GC by Arsi Zone

The implementation of this project is hoped to relieve the beneficiaries from recurrent crop
failure by availing additional moisture and sediment of silty clay soil that is known for its high-
water retaining capacity which is capable of changing the parent soil characteristics if the land is
irrigated for longer time. When the sandy soil found in the lowland is mixed with the soil brought
from the highland by the run-off water its susceptibility to drought will decrease.
The Objectives of Design Review
The aim of the design review was to fulfill the discrepancies of the project study of
Structure and canal route at Zone level according to the agreement signed between the
client (former Oromia Agriculture and Natural Resource Bureau, now change into
Oromia Irrigation and Pastoralist development Bureau) and consultant (former Oromia
water works design and supervision enterprise, currently Engineering corporation of
Oromia).
