Irrigation and Drainage Infrastructure Development

Irrigated agriculture has historically been a key driver of agricultural productivity, ensuring stable crop production. With climate change increasing the frequency of extreme droughts and floods, irrigation systems play an essential role in securing water availability and strengthening food security. Efficient drainage infrastructure is equally critical to managing excess water and maintaining soil health.

We support clients in planning, designing, implementing, and managing irrigation and drainage infrastructure, offering tailored solutions for both small- and large-scale systems. Our technical approach prioritises climate resilience, water efficiency, and the active involvement of water users in decision-making. We assist throughout the procurement cycle, from tendering and bid evaluation to contracting and construction supervision. Our expertise extends to modern irrigation techniques, sustainable water resource management, and institutional capacity building to ensure long-term system functionality.

By improving irrigation and drainage systems, we enhance agricultural productivity, mitigate climate risks, and strengthen rural livelihoods, contributing directly to poverty reduction and food security.
