WInd Pump Irrigation Scheme at Ngura, Homa Bay District
DEPROTECS, a local NGO will install two wind driven pumps for irrigation using water from Lake Victoria. The project currently in its initial phase of implementation is the only one of its kind in Western Kenya. Supported by a grant from GEF SGP the project will contribute to the self-sufficiency in food production and also serve as a replicable model for areas where rainfall is unpredictable but winds are strong.
The main activities will be:
(1) Mobilize farmers
(2) Procure pipes and fittings for irrigation layout
(3) Procure contract for construction of two water storage tanks, intake structure, sedimentation tank
(4) Supervise work, delivery and installation of wind pump
(5) Train farmers on how to service system and marketing of horticulture crops.
