Flood Protection of River and Restoration of Irrigation Canal

Consortis undertook a vital project to ensure flood protection and optimal water management for the Lilandas River. The area faced significant flood risks, threatening the safety of residents, agricultural lands, and infrastructure.

The Problem

The Lilandas River is a critical water source for irrigation in the region. However, the lack of effective water management and insufficient flood control infrastructure created serious environmental, economic, and social challenges.

The Solution

Consortis’ Department of Environment and Energy,  implemented a comprehensive approach, involving detailed studies and specialized solutions to regulate and control the river’s flow:

• River Regulation: Designed and executed works to manage water flow and energy, ensuring flood prevention
• Water Intake and Irrigation Canal: Constructed water intake structures and connections to the irrigation canal, guaranteeing uninterrupted irrigation for the area
• Underground Water Passage: Installed technical infrastructure for the underground transfer of river water, ensuring safe and efficient distribution
• Precision Surveys: Conducted a 70-hectare topographic survey, including horizontal and vertical mapping, and developed an Environmental Impact Study (EIS)

Benefits

This integrated approach delivered multiple benefits:

Flood Protection: Reduced flood risks and safeguarded the area.

Sustainable Water Management: Efficient distribution and use of water resources for irrigation

Environmental Protection: Alignment with modern environmental requirements through the EIS

Social and Economic Enhancement: Support for agricultural production and improved quality of life for residents

With this project, Consortis reaffirms its commitment to providing innovative and sustainable solutions to water resource management challenges.
