ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED:

Topography

Volume calculation: Eliminating the hydrograph’s

peak

PROPOSAL: Complete Flood Control

Vol=144,000 m3

Completely disperse the flood volume upstream

PROPOSAL: A Community Led Plan

Respect and increase biological diversification in micro-

habitat

Possible hydro-power, fisheries, biomass & irrigation

reservoirs

Improve the water quality & reduce drought

Any Question?

Thank you for your attention –
