This phase of studies also included preparation of the “Engineering Hydrology Report”, “Agricultural Economy Planning Report” and “Engineering Geology and Natural Construction Materials Planning Report”.

2. Planning Report

The second phase comprised dimensioning the structures, preparation of BoQs and cost estimates and economic analyses as basis to project efficiency, all based on optimization studies as per the final project formulation. This phase of studies further comprised preparation of “Land Acquisition Planning Report” and “EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) Report”, for  which “EIA Is Acceptable” certificate was issued by the Ministry.
