This analysis of the existing situation suggests that pump applications in the SWMP are not likely to be extensive. However, design of the project physical rehabilitation has not occurred yet. The WMSII group working on preliminary project design suggested additional pump applications that might be included in the SWMP design. The ARD team concludes that the most probable pumping applications in the PPAs assuming that annual, not perennial crops are to be supported, as suggested in the project identification document) are: 1) pumping out of gravity-filled, off-stream storage reservoirs bac into secondary canals during low-water periods in the Shebelli River; and 2) pumped drainage for removing excess water and for salinity control.
