Burguret River Water Users' Association
This planning grant will be implemented to support a baseline survey.
Burguret River water users plan to form a Water Users' Association. With funding from COMPACT, the Association will address the myriad issues that contribute to water conflicts by developing a water management plan for the catchment, promoting drip irrigation, and installing staff gauges along the river. This will provide a basis for self-regulation among the abstractors.

Project Characteristics and Results
Capacity - Building Component
A wide range of water users; including large & small scale farmers, commercial enterprises (e.g. fish farming), a tourist wildlife sanctuary and domestic users, will plan collectively on how to use water in a sustainable manner. This will result in the development of a full project to be funded by GEFSGP.
Gender Focus
All groups will benefit from the project as it increases their livelihood and well-being and aims to avoid conflicts by distributing the river water equally.
