Review of the Um Ja Wasir Project : implemented by ADRA
Abstract
The Um Ja Wasir project has been set up by ADRA to support nomads of the Hawawir tribe. The project provides water for irrigated agriculture by drilling deep wells and lifting the water with diesel engine driven turbine pumps. The pilot stage (phase 0) of the project was implemented in 1992 with four wells, while a a phase 1 with six additional wells has been started in 1995. Phase 1 is fully financed by NORAD under the SSE funds. ADRA plans for phases 2, 3 and 4 to be launced in 1998, 2001 and 2004 respectively.
