IMPLEMENTATION

Part C consists of investigation and implementation of potential erosion control and accelerated land accretion schemes. A study and preparation phase of 1 year will be followed by an implementation, monitoring and evaluation phase of 2.5 years.

The first year Implementation and Monitoring Phase will start after the completion of the Study and Preparation Phase. The main activities to be executed during this phase are:

•  Final selection of locations for erosion control schemes;

•  Final design of erosion control schemes;

Supervision of land acquisition; contracts with contractors(s) and communication with local population, BWDB during implementation;

In the second year of the project, spurs will have to be constructed mainly on pilot basis. From year three onwards design will have to be improved on the basis of past monitoring. At least 1 field of bottom screens will have to be included in erosion control pilots.
