The request as filed

What the requester wrote on the intake form

Problem
Al-Ghab plain irrigation canals are damaged and partly blocked, so the irrigated area and wheat and sugar-beet output have fallen.
Current state
40% of the main canals are out of service, and the irrigated area fell from 60,000 to 34,000 hectares.
Objective
Rehabilitate the main and branch canals and gates, fully funded from the investment plan.
Expected scope
Desilting and lining the canals, rehabilitating the gates and lift stations, and three years of maintenance.

Expected benefits

Savings

Irrigated area up 26,000 hectares

Settle the funding before the tender

From Baniyas Pilot Seawater Desalination Plant

The project was put on hold because its allocation was not in the investment plan after the tender went out.

Recommendation: For co-funded or Development-Fund requests, attach an in-principle allocation approval before committee review.

Grid-connection approvals take 4–6 months

From 20 MW Qalamoun Solar Field

The electricity transmission & distribution establishment took five months to approve connecting phase one to the grid.

Recommendation: Put the grid operator’s approval on the critical path of any energy or water-pumping request.
