Pagarau Irrigation Development and Watershed Management Project
Water Multi-purpose Reservoir
Overview
Summary
This project which is located in the Lakes State in central South Sudan, is intended to develop an irrigation command area of 13,832 ha. The area is rather flat and descends slightly from South (420 m) to North (415 m). A large river runs through the area, which can serve as an irrigation water source. The river finally drains into the White Nile, which is approximately 60 km north of the focal area. A small lake borders the focal area on the Southern tip. Based on the 250 m resolution slope map, the slopes do not exceed 1%. On a smaller scale (30 m), slopes are more significant; staying under 3% in most of the area, and reaching towards 10% on some places in the North.
