Hi Fele, this afternoon we have received a call from the bank’s irrigation engineer

requesting us to appear in person for discussion on the submitted irrigation &

drainage design documents. I figured out these questions as an entry point for a
detailed discussion that you would also join us through telephone tomorrow before
noon,

Can you give me a short brief on the following points? If you feel that they are
less important, you can simple send me a very short information/basics on the I &
D design

Surface/Furrow Irrigation System Design:

 What is the layout and spacing of the furrows in the proposed irrigation system?
 How will you ensure uniform water distribution along the furrows?
 Have you conducted a water infiltration analysis to determine the appropriate flow
rates for the furrows?
 What measures are in place to prevent soil erosion and runoff in the furrow
irrigation system?
 Can you provide details on how the surface/furrow irrigation system will be managed
to optimize water use efficiency?

Headwork:
 What is the design capacity of the headwork system?
 Can you provide details on the intake structure and water diversion methods?
 How will the headwork system ensure reliable water supply for irrigation?

Pump Type and Station:

 What type of pumps will be used in the irrigation system?
 What is the total dynamic head that the pumps need to overcome?
 Have you conducted a pump efficiency analysis for the proposed system?
 How will the pump station be powered and what is the backup plan in case of power
outages?

Drainage Systems:
 What type of drainage system is proposed for the project
 Have you considered the environmental impact of the drainage system on
surrounding areas?
 What measures are in place to ensure proper maintenance and functioning of the
drainage system
