Hans van Dijken Regional DirectorANNEX > - TERMS OF REFERENCE INCLINING MAPS OF THE STUDY .AREA THE PROVISIONAL MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF SOCIALIST ETHIOPIA VALLEYS AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ANGLELE-BOLHAMO AND AMIBARA IRRIGATION EXPANSION PROJECT TERMS-QF-REFERENCE 1 - INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Provisional Military Government of Socialist Ethiopia has given priority in terms of intensive agricultural develop ment to the Awash Valley with its large, fertile and thinly populated areas. The Valley is accessable by rail and is traversed by the Addis Ababa - Awash - Aseb Highway. 1.2 The areas proposed for development consist of an irrigation project covering a gross area of 9 775 ha in Amibara and Ancelele and 14.230 ha in Bolhamo - Djilu Area. 1.3 The Project data are now ready for updating and final design, the full feasibility studies having been completed in 1970 and 1975 respectively. The first task is the reappraisal and updating of the feasibility studies which are comprehensive documents dealing with soils, water, agricultural resources as well as engineering and summarized in two main Reports. These should form the basis for the Updated Feasibility Report. 1.4 The task is to be carried out by Consultants over a period of months. The Valleys Agricultural Development Authority (VADA) as the Feasibility Study, and the relevant contractual arrangements will be made between the Consultants and the Authority. Objectives The purpose of updating this irrigation development project is to : a) determine the water availability and ascertain the engineering and economic feasibility of developing a gross area of 9 775 in Amibara - Angelele and 14 230 ha in Bolhamo - Djilu for agricultural development under perennial irrigation.b) prepare a revised report which may be submitted to any financing institution among which is the European Development Fund (European Economic Community). 2 - SCOPE OF CONSULTING SERVICES 2.1 The updated report shall contain full and complete inform ation on all aspects of the proposed irrigation project. The revised report should cover but should not be necessarily limited to the following : 2.2 GENERAL 2.2.1 The Angelele - Bolhamo Project as an integral part of the middle and overall valley development. 2.3 ENGINEERING 2.3.1 The Consultant is to re-appraise all the engineering inputs required and indicated in the Angelele - Bolhamo & Amibara Feasibility Reports of 1970 and 1975, with additional investi gations and proposals to be made on items listed below. Water Availability & Modifications of Koka Releases 2.3.2 The proposed project area is to be supplied with irrigation water from the Awash River. The only major existing storage on the river is Lake Gelila, formed by Koka Dam, upstream of all potential large scale irrigation development. The dam is operated by the Ethiopian Electric Light and Power Authority (EELPA) for hydroelectric generation at three stations : Awash I at the dam and Awash II and III on the river just down-stream of Wonji. Water supply for irrigation mainly depends on releases from this storage supplemented by inflows from unregulated intermediate tributaries. 2.3.3 A recent study conducted by Valleys Agricultural Development Authority (IRRIGATION WATER AVAILABILITY IN THE AWASH RIVER BASIN - 1979) with respect to the present and future irrigation water demands, calls for the modifications of monthly Koka releases bearing in mind the interests of power production from the Awash group of power plants and the long-term safe regulated output of the storage.3 2.3.4 On this basis an understanding has been reached between VADA and EELPA to work out yearly and monthly release programs that will fit the energy and irrigation requirements. 2.3.5 In order to provide a sound base for such an agreement the Consultant is required to : make an overall reappraisal of existing hydrological studies; revise all previous water availability studies to determine the order and timing of peak and minimum river flows relevant to the Middle Awash Area. Low Level Outlet 2.3.6 At present, releases from Koka Dam can only be made by way of power penstock outlets, or at high reservoir levels over the spillway crests. The existing low level sluice outlet cannot be used safely without the provision of a trash rack to protect against logs jamming the outlet tunnel and associated works and a proper release valve to provide accurate control of discharges. 2.3.7 The low level outlet is essential for two reasons : to utilize the active storage of the reservoir for irrigation, once the water level has dropped below the take level of the power penstocks; to ensure uninterrupted releases of water if the Koka power penstock mechanisms either breakdown or are closed for maintenance purposes. 2.3.8 The Consultant is to carefully assess the situation and make recommendations on the feasibility of remodelling the existing outlet or the installation of a new facility on the dam for this purpose. The recommendation should include pre liminary design and cost estimates in a form suitable for final review prior to implementation. Flood Mitigation 2.3.9 Optimum utilization of Koka storage for power and irrigation demands can only be achieved when restrictions on spillway discharges are eased. The present flood release •••/•••4 practice requires a much earlier timing of pre-release of stored water in anticipation of wet season inflow; consequently the danger of not filling the storage to a desired level during a below-average wet season inflow becomes a distinct possibility. Although the maximum design flood outflow is 1200 cumecs, it has been indicated in previous studies that it feasible, flood pro tection works in the Wonji area should be provided to cater for a flood of up to 850 cumecs. This will greatly facilitate the annual operation of Koka, particularly for maximum utilization by irrigation interests. 2.3.10 Bearing this in mind, the consultant is to investigate the overall impact of this mode of flood flow in the Upper and Middle Valleys and propose the most plausible flood protection works required to protect existing and future developments forseen in these areas. Water Abstraction 2.3.11 Principal irrigation works required to supply all suit able lands are to be relappraised. The Feasibility Study re commended the use of diesel driven pumps to supply the Angelele, Bolhamo and Djilu areas. In the light of the escalating fuel costs since the study, the Consultant is to re-examine this re commendation and propose other alternative ways of water abstraction. This analysis will consider the economics of installation, operation, maintenance and replacement of the various works and recommend the most appropriate system. Reservoir Siltation 2.3.12 The effect of silt deposit on available reservoir volume and consequently on long-term water availability both for irrigation and energy production.is to be investigated. 2.3.13 The Consultant is to review existing data and the silt deposit survey conducted by VADA and recommended ways and means of monitoring the silt build-up as it affects long-term water availability downstream of the lake. •••/...5 Cost Estimate & Construction Phasing 2.3.14 Each implementation phase proposed should be determined and evaluated, i.e. the financial and economic internal rate of return should be estimated for each implementation phase. Con struction schedules must be revised in detail and the basis for estimates, quantities, unit price must be given and compared with currently experienced costs. Year-by-year expenditure schedules, including investment and operation and maintenance expenditures should be shown. Cost estimates have to be up dated for all the various proposals considered and annual operation and maintenance and repayment costs for all works. 2.4 AGRICULTURE 2.4.1 Appraisal of recommended crops and cropping patterns for each implementation phase and over the project life, including livestock production. 2.4.2 Assessment of effects of the project on ecological balance. 2.4.3 Anticipated yields, value of crops and crop production costs. Intermediate uses of the area before total project implementation should be considered as part of "without project" analysis; crop returns both gross and net attributed to the project. 2.4.4 Typical farm budgets related to existing and anticipated average holdings, whether State Farms or Settlement schemes including capital costs, operating costs, net farm income and the net value of water. 2.4.5 Agricultural practices proposed and all inputs other than water; i.e. seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, mechanization, extension services, credit etc., 2.4.6 Markets for future production including internal and export markets, processing industries, storage facilities. 2.4.7 Cooperatives, their need, their possible role, their organization and operation. • • • /...6 2.4.8 Agricultural research facilities established and extension services existing at country level and proposed for the project. 2.5 ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ASPECTS 2.5.1 Benefits both direct and indirect resulting from project development. Profitability analysis at the farm level to assess when and to what extent project charges can be met on the basis of satisfactory farm incomes. 2.5.2 For settlement schemes; typical farm budgets. For state farm; typical budget for optimum size farms. 2.5.3 Assessment of the financial return on public investment to the project authority. Assessment of alternative ways of development including a recommendation for the optimum state farm and settlement mix taking into account the socio-economic conditions prevailing in the area. 2.5.4 Project repayment schedule showing interest payments, capital repayments and capital balances over the required period. 2.5.5 Financial evaluation at the Central Government level; the national budgetary implications of the project; computation of the financial and economic rates of return at domestic market and international prices. 2.5.6 Project's net contribution to foreign exchange earnings or savings. 2.5.7 Project's impact on employment situation, professional skilled, unskilled, settlers. 2.6 ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT 2.6.1 Institutional arrangements for project implementation; government representation; administrative, legal and financial status of project implementing agency. • • • /...7 2.6.2 Water rights - administration - legislation. 2.6.3 Organization and management of state farms and settlement schemes in collaboration with other Government Agencies; credit, marketing, extension, cooperatives. 2.6.4 Measures to ensure the timely implementation of ancillary works and services, health, education, agricultural research, communications. 2.6.5 Collection of repayments and charges from water users.

The proposal is based on a study of the Terms of Reference, a visit to the project area to study available reports and site conditions and on experience obtained during involvement with similar projects in Africa and elsewhere. According to the Terms of Reference, received from the Valleys Agricultural Development Authority, by letter dated 23rd January 1981, the scope of work mainly includes preparation of an updated report that shall contain full and complete information on all aspects of the proposed irrigation project, with additional investigations and proposals on several items related to the project in engineering, agriculture, economics and finance and the aspects related to organization and management. It is understood that Consultants’ staff will visit Ethiopia on short term assignments only. The main purposes of these visits will be consulta tion with all authorities concerned, collection of available data, familiarization with local conditions, assistance with limited additional field surveys and a survey of the silt-levels of the Koka reservoir. Elaboration of the project, preparation and editing of reports will be done at Consultants’ headquarters in the Netherlands. A visit to Ethiopa was made by Mr. J. Oosterman of NEDECO from Februa ry 17th until February 23rd. On February 21st and 22nd a fieldtrip was made to the Koka dam for inspection of the low level outlet, the Melka Sedi weirsite and canal system, the Amibara area presently under con struction and the proposed areas for development including existing pumping stations. From this place Consultants like to express their high appreciation for the assistance given by VADA and in particular to Mr. Assefa Teferra and his staff during this period. Also thanks are due to Mr. Belay Aziz of the Ethiopian Electric Light and Power Authority, who explained the present problems with the operation of the low level outlet at Koka dam.5 2. UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERMS OF REFERENCE AND OUTLINE OF THE PROJECT 2.1. Project objectives The purpose of updating of the Angelele - Bolhamo and Amibara Irrigation Expansion Project is to: determine the water availability and ascertain the engineering and economic feasibility of developing a gross area of 9,775 ha in Amibara - Angelele and 14,230 ha in Bolhamo - Djilue for agri cultural development under perennial irrigation on the basis of recent data prepare an updated feasibility report which may be submitted to any financing institution The main sources of information for the reappraisal are: Angelele - Bolhamo Feasilibity Study Report, prepared by Sir William Halcrow & Partners, 1975 Feasibility Study - Melka Sedi - Amibara, prepared by Italconsult, 1970 Irrigation Water Availability in the Awash River Basin, prepared by VADA, 1979 2.2. Project area The project is situated in the plains of the middle valley of the Awash river, downstream of the Melka Sedi and Amibara irrigation areas pre sently under construction. The areas proposed for development consist of an irrigation project covering a gross area of 9,775 ha in Amibara (all potential irrigable areas not included in the present Amibara Irrigation Project II under construction) - Angelele on the right bank of the Awash river and 14,230 ha in Bolhamo - Djilu on the left bank of the Awash river. The main source of irrigation water in the dry season is the Koka dam reservoir which at present has an available storage of about 1500 x 106 m . A variable flow is released through the power plant; this flow 3 passes the flat parts and gorges in the upper valley of the Awash river before entering the plains of the middle valley. The Awash river continues its winding course in Eastern, and further downstream in Southern direction. Between Koka dam and the project area two major tributaries, the Kesem and Kebenna rivers, and several minor tributaries join the Awash river. It was observed that severe erosion of the catchment areas occurs and during floods the Awash river carries a heavy load of silt and sand. Many tree trunks are present in the river; these will be transported during peak discharges. The plains along the river are partly under cultivation and partly used as grazing areas for cattle, camels and goats. The vegetation is of varying density in the uncultivated areas, clearly visible is the gilgai relief in open areas. The area is accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles only.6 2.3. General approach The team to be involved in the elaboration of the project will consist of a limited number of highly experienced experts covering several related disciplines. They will visit Ethiopia on short term assignments. These experts will consult specialists in specific subjects in the Netherlands. Consultants have chosen for this general approach because it appears that only senior experts with broad experience will be capable to ful fill all requirements laid down in the Terms of Reference. 2.4. Engineering The Consultants will review and re-appraise all engineering aspects indicated in the feasibility reports, including investigations and proposals on the following items: water availability and modification of Koka releases low level outlet Koka dam flood mitigation water abstraction reservoir siltation irrigation and drainage cost estimates and construction phasing The impact on the water availability of a possible compensation dam-reservoir downstream of Awash III power plant will also be taken into account. It is understood that the proposals have to be based on basic data published in reports. Complementary field surveys will be executed on a limited scale. Additional meteorological and hydrological data for the period 1974-1981 are available and readily accessible at VADA’s headquarters or in the regional offices. A special survey is to be done to determine the silt levels in the Koka reservoir. About 14,000 ha of the study area is covered with 1:5000 contour mapping, the remainder of the area is covered with 1:20,000 mapping with 0,5 meter contour intervals. A limited survey is envisaged to prepare a more accurate estimate of the volumes of earth movement involved for landlevel ling.2.5. Agriculture The middle Awash Valley is not densely populated; it has low rainfall (about 550 mm) and a fair surface of good soils. It is mainly being used as grazing land for the cattle of pastoralists, most of whom are of the Afar tribe. Since there is plenty of water available in the Awash River, the area is indicated for irrigation development. Construction has begun in the Amibara area, but it is possible to extend the system to another 24,000 ha. The selection of crops for cultivation under irrigation will be determined by: the demand in the local and foreign markets the ease of cultivation for the people to be settled, who are no agriculturists by tradition the value of the crops, which has to compensate for the high cost of irrigation development Experience has shown that a great variety of crops can do well under the prevailing conditions, as has also been proved by the trials at the Agricultural Research Station at Melka Warer. However, the costly irrigation calls for high-value crops, so it is probably better to have the lower-priced food crops grown on the plateau. Food crop production should nevertheless be given consideration as the country is still not self-sufficient in food. Irrigation development is usually in conflict with the keeping of cattle, because of the damage the cattle can do to the irrigation system. In spite of this, cattle will have to be given due consideration if the settlers are pastoralists by origin and since the irrigation system will occupy former grazing grounds. Access to drinking water for the cattle has to be ensured either by acces corridors through the scheme to the river or by creating drinking basins along the irrigation canals at the edge of the project area. Irrigation development will have its ecological repercussions too. If there are no drainage works, seepage of irrigation water will raise the groundwater level and so eventually waterlogging may reduce the crop yields. Furthermore the continuing land clearing by the people in their search for firewood and timber for building construction has caused serious erosion and has thus affected the land and water resources. Also since timber and wood are now becoming scarce, some fast-growing tree species will have to be planted. 2.6. Economic and financial aspects A macro-economic analysis will be carried out to assess the incremental and benefits of the project by comparing ’’without project” and ’’with the project” development.8 Major element in the economic analysis will be: hydropower generation agricultural production flood protection improvement of water availability during the growing season At farmlevel typical farm budgets or typical budgets for large sized state farms will be established and analyzed. For each implementation phase the financial and economic internal rate of return will be determined. A sensivity analysis will show the influence of variation of both cost and benefit components. A feasible investment schedule will be extablished and the costs of operation of maintenance will be shown on an annual basis during the lifetime of the project. 2.7. Organization and management Agricultural development involves the creation of means for the supply of agricultural inputs, credit and agricultural extension; of means of marketting produce; and possibly the establishment of farmers’ cooperatives. This means that the project will be dealing with various Government Agencies, so it is of the utmost importance to create a structure which allows for the adequate coordination of the various bodies concerned. Organization will be an important component of the irrigation develop ment, so since VADA is considering a particular mix of state farms and smallholder settlements, it might well be convenient if the state farms were to take the form of nucleus estates providing particular services to the surrounding smallholders like mechanical seedbed preparation and marketting of produce. Since health care and education are important Government objectives, the intensity of such social services and public utilities in the project area will have to be determined from demographic projections. As the area is not settled yet, such facilities barely exist at present. The proper distribution of schools, clinics, communal buildings and communications will require a physical plan. Training of new staff is necessary. Training of the settlers in irrigated agriculture will also be required since they are not used to any type of sedentary agriculture.9 3. METHODOLOGY 3.1. Engineering 3.1.1. Water availability and modification of Koka releases As is the case in many other countries all over the world, water is a limiting factor in the development of irrigation potential. Therefore its use must be planned carefully. Besides the discharges from perennial tributaries the discharge of the Awash river is determined by the releases from the lake Gelila, formed to the Koka dam. In the past the releases from the reservoir were governed by the requirements for generation of hydro-electric power; therefore the dam is operated by the Ethiopean Electric Light and Power Authority (EELPA). However recent studies indicate that the operations rules of Koka dam should be modified to ensure adequate water supply to the irrigated lands downstream of the dam. To promote the attainment of the greatest possible overall mutual benefit from the operation of Koka dam, taking into account water supply, flood mitigation, water quality and all aspects of human welfare as may be affected by operation of the dam a Technical Committee has been formed, consisting of a.o. representatives of VADA and EELPA. To provide a sound base for the yearly and monthly release programs to be worked out by VADA and EELPA, the Consultants will make an overall re-appraisal of existing hydrological studies, taking into account the hydrological data of the period 1974-1980. The Consultants will use a computer program, developed for study of water availibility within a system of one or more rivers including storage reservoirs. As input daily discharges are used, if not available for tributaries during certain periods, these discharge will be determined with standard hydrological methods, using rainfall-runnoff correlation. The time steps that will be used in the program can be chosen as requi red between 1 day and 1 month. The program determines the agricultural water demand from the surface area of each irrigation area, the cropping pattern per area and water demand for each stage of the growth cycle. Additional water requirements for industrial and domestic use, power generation, navigation etc. will be added to the agricultural demand. The program will simulate the operation of reservoirs based on available flows and calculated demand over a period of years for which sufficient hydrological data are available. The results of the calculation can be presented in tables or graphically. A flowchart for the program is shown in fig. 1.10 FLOWCHART SIMULATION PROGRAM-SYSTEM FIGURE 111 Based on the computer calculations the Consultants will prepare recom mendations on the releases of Koka dam so that all water demands in the upper and middle Awash can be met in the most efficient way. 3.1.2. Low level outlet Koka dam At present, releases from Koka Dam can only be made through the hydro- power plant or at high reservoir level over the crest of the spillway. The existing low level outlet cannot be used safely without the pro vision of a trash rack to prevent tree trunks and logs to enter the outlet tunnel and also without the addition of a proper release valve to ensure accurate control of the discharge from the reservoir. The low level outlet must be operational in the future to utilize the available storage in the reservoir for irrigation once the water level has dropped below the minimum intake level of the power plant and to ensure uninterrupted releases of water if the Koka power penstocks have been closed in case of emergency or for maintenance. Various alternative solutions will be investigated. On the basis of a technical evaluation the most feasible solution will be selected. The Consultants have inspected the lower outlet in the field and have discussed the problem at EELPA’s headquarters in Addis Abeba. Based on observations and discussions we arrived at the following pre liminary conclusions: The area in front of the present gates has been filled with silt deposit during the past twenty years. This silt deposit has to be removed over a distance of at least 20 m from the outlet either by grab crane from a pontoon or by a small cutter dredge if this is cheaper. Any tree trunks or logs in this area must be removed. The two gates closing off the entrance of the tunnel cannot be considered as emergency gates that can be used if the main gate cannot be closed completely, because they are hoisted by chains. Installation of a complete new facility on the dam will be very expensive and is therefore not considered as a feasible proposition by the Consultants. Consultants will propose to add a radial gate or vertical lift gate downstream of the existing maingate as shwon in figure 2. This gate will be designed in such a way that it can regulate the flows under all circumstances, depending on the requirements. It can be constructed in the dry without provision of an expensive enclosure as would be the case if a new gate was placed upstream of the existing main gate. Experts of the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory will advise on the hydraulic design of this gate. After installation of the new gate the existing main gate can be considered as an emergency gate that can be closed even if the new gate cannot be closed completely.12 11900 G8A&- C8ANE «OR tue qcmo\al of DEBRIS fN FRONT OF TQ ASM . ftACKi VEQTldAL OE.CTION OVtQ BOTTOM OUTLET Of DAM IN AV/AOM gIVCg . rrT SCALE 1 . 200 ■ i2 80 , .

A special grab that can be operated from the dam must the provided to remove tree trunks and logs from the area in front of the trash racks. 3.1.3. Flood mitigation Flat areas along the Awash river in the upper and middle Valleys are liable to flooding at high discharges. The Koka reservoir storage offers a possibility to attenuate the peak discharge, which will reduce flood damage downstream of the reservoir. Until now the flood release practice required early pre-release in anticipation of wet season inflow. This practice might result in an only partly filled reservoir at the end of a below-average wet season. Changing of the operation rules of the Koka dam in view of flood control and water conservation, would require upgrading of the flood protection works in the upper valley and possibly also in the middle valley. Consultants will use the computer model described under 3.1.1. to route the design floods through the Koka reservoir for different rule curves. These rule curves provide guidance for the water levels in the reservoir on a daily basis, the whole year round. The rule curves will be established in close consultation with VADA and EELPA since these curves will influence both irrigation supply and power output. Flood routing studies have been described in previous feasibility reports. It is understood that the design of flood protection works for the Amibara irrigation project has been based on calculations with a computer model, simulating the hydraulic behaviour of the Awash river. The detailed results of these calculations will be made available to the Consultants. The Consultants will review these and other calculations as far as necessary on the basis of an assessment of extreme flood flows of different magnitude and frequencies using empirical, rational and statistical methods. Since weirs may have to be constructed in the Awash river for gravity supply to Bolhamo and Angelele irrigation areas, and previous studies did not take these constrictions of the river into account, Consultants will recalculate the impact of civil engineering works on flows and waterlevels. The computer programs available at Consultants’ head quarters are capable of simulating both river flow and overland flow with storage areas if present. Based on calculated flows and water waterlevels, Consultants will propose the most plausible flood protection works required to protect existing and future developments foreseen in the upper and middle Awash valley.14 From a brief review of the hydrological analysis, it appears that the frequency distribution of floods at Awash Station has not been de- termined correctly. The flow from the reservoir, which is influenced by man, should be separated from the naturel inflow between the dam and Awash Station. After a frequency distribution has been determined for the natural inflow, the releases from Koka reservoir have to be added taking into account attenuation of the flood wave between the dam and Awash Station. As a result the design flood flows in the middle Awash valley may have to be increased. It was noticed in the field that over a certain width along the new dikes, protecting the Amibara irrigation project, all vegetation had been removed and a channel with relatively low hydraulic resistance had been formed. Consultants will investigate whether high velocities along the foot of the dike may cause scouring of the dike body in certain locations and what protective or other measures may be required to prevent this. 3.1.4. Water abstraction It is recommended in the feasibility report to use diesel driven pumps to supply water to the Angelele, Bolhamo and Djilu areas from the Awash River. Originally it was intended to supply these areas by extending the intended gravity system for Amibara, however escalation of the construc tion cost resulted in a reassessment of the water supply system. At present the Amibara system is irrigated from a diversion at Melka Sadi but no provisions have been made to extend the supply system to the study area. Construction of low-head diversion weirs or barrages further downstream is rejected in the feasibility report because of inadequate command and raised watertables in the areas upstream of the diversion structures. Installation of a number of pump stations along the river enables a flexible gradual approach to development in all these areas and this approach is considered the most suitable and appropriate in the feasi bility report of 1975. Alternative power sources have been considered like geothermal energy and construction of a dam for hydro-electric power, but according to the feasibility report these energy sources do not exist in the middle Awash valley. It has been analized whether an extension from the Koka dam Dire Dawa transmission line would be feasible. This would be the case when about 10,000 ha would have been developed. It is noted in the report that the economic advantage of electricity over diesel is greatly altered by fuel price changes. At present fuel prices are a multiple of those of 6 years ago and still increasing. Therefore a local available power source like electricity may have become much more attractive.15 Consultants will examine the following alternative ways of water abstrac tion: a. by diesel driven pumps b. by electric driven pumps with power supply from the EELPA system c. by gravity systems d. a combination of b and c The Consultants will investigate the technical feasibility of the above mentioned alternative ways of water abstraction, analyse the economics of installation, operation, maintenance and replacement of the various works and recommend the most appropriate system. Besides the above mentioned means of water abstraction, the Consultants will also explore the possibilities of using electric driven pumps with power supply from hydropower plants installed at Melka Sedi weir or at Gota Falls between Metehara and Awash Bridge. A local hydropower plant at Melka Sedi weir would be attractive as a power source for pumped irrigation development. It would avoid large transmission cost and provide an independent system for power supply. However the possibilities to raise the Melka Sedi weir to provide suffi cient head for power generation has to be investigated before any con clusions on the technical feasibility of such a system can be drawn. At Gota falls a drop of about 20 m is available which would be more than adequate for the power requirements of the middle Awash valley. It would provide an independent power supply system but transmission cost would be considerable. If VADA and EELPA agree that development of a local power source is attractive, Consultants will prepare a rough cost estimate of the civil engineering works involved. They will expect EELPA to provide cost estimates for the electric works, transmission lines and transformer stations. During the fieldtrip is was observed that large sediment deposits had accumulated in the main canal downstream of Melka Sedi weir. Bearing in mind that the catchment areas are subject to severe erosion, it appears that gravity intakes should include facilities to remove sediment from the canal system. The importance of silt traps throughout the irrigation system including irrigation canals is emphasized to diminish siltation as far as possible. Figure 3 shows a layout of such a system, it includes a settling basin and a silt ejector to sluice the sediment back to the river. Special attention will have to be given to the problems of tree trunks and logs transported during floods that may block the intake. Pumping stations should also be provided with sediment-settling basins and facilities to flush the sediment back to the river by flowing water. Attention will be given to riverbank protection adjacent to the pumping stations.figure intake STRUCTURE L ^MNG ro CjeCToQ SETTLING nr it it in?

Reservoir siltaLlon The Koka dam has been Ln operation for about 20 years; during this period most of the sediment, carried by the rivers debrouchiag into the reservoir, has accumulated in the lake Gelila. This decreased the available volume of water for irrigation and energy production. Based on a silt deposit survey in 1973, it was found that about 135 x 10b m^ of sediment had settled in the reservoir. The Consultants will review the existing data on sediment transport and the silt deposit survey conducted by VADA. A new survey of the present silt deposit will be done using an echo- sounder and ’’Decca Trisponder” electronic positioning equipment. Con sultants plan to use an Atlas Deso 20 dual frequency echosounder (30/210 KC) to detect the level of the hard bottom below the siltlayer. In principle the siltlines surveyed in 1973 will be followed, if necessary additional points will be measured. The survey results will also be compared with values obtained from semi-empirical and theoretical methods. Part of the silt lines may be above the water level in the lake during the survey. These parts have to be surveyed by levelling from the shore. From this survey the present volume of sediment settled in the lake will be determined. Consultants will also recommend ways and means to monitor the silt build-up in the lake in the future. General overall recommendations will be given regarding measures that could be taken to contribute to reduc tion and control of siltation rates in the Koka reservoir. 3.1.6. Irrigation and drainage Irrigation development is already going on in the Amibara area, but the layouts used will have to be evaluated for their use as typical designs for future extensions to the system. As far as data are available the unit cost of construction of the irrigation system will have to be determined so as to serve as updated input in the economic feasibility calculations. This holds true also for the land development cost. It is understood that the soils are developing gilgai symptoms and the ’’sink hole” phenomenon. Since these affect the microrelief it is suggested that a topographer take levelling measurements of representative sample areas in order to allow the exact calculation of the planning require ment. It has been assumed that a topographer can be made available by the VADA to do this. Construction of the irrigation will have to go hand in hand with con struction of a drainage system in order to prevent inadmissible rises the groundwater level, which may cause waterlogging and, subsequently, salinization of the topsoil. The technical quality of the water in the Awash River seems to be gene rally good, but at times of low flow water originating from some hoc springs seems to affect the overall quality. This can probably be pre- vented by a revised release regime of the upstream dams18 The irrigation and drainage specialist will have to study the extent of the salinity problem and give recommendations for its solution and the related drainage requirements. Recommendations will be given with regard to monitoring of ground water fluctuations including installation of piezometer networks. He will also assist in the studies on gravity supply of irrigation water to the project from the Awash river. 3.1.7. Cost Estimate and Construction phasing The estimated quantities of work will be based on revised or new pre liminary designs of the civil engineering and other works as far as this revision is deemed necessary. The unit rates will have to be revised based on current unit rates as applied for the Umibara and other development projects in Ethiopia. For specific items the rates may have to be based on Consultants’ experience elsewhere with similar works. Annual operation and maintenance and replacement costs will be prepared for each part of the various proposals. Construction phasing depends on the following considerations: water availability desired rate of development from agricultural and social-economic point of view capacity of VADA to implement the project capacity of local contractors to execute the project Consultants will revise the construction schedules based on the above mentioned general criteria. Consultants will assess the capabilities of local contractors to undertake the works on the basis of interviews with local contractors and pertinent Government Agencies. 3.2. Agriculture As the project objective (irrigated development), the soils and the climate have not changed since the feasibility study by Sir William Halcrow & Partners in 1975, the agronomist will largely be involved in evaluation of the work previously done. It is in any event not anti cipated (and the time schedule will not permit) that there be extensive collection of new field data. However, it might be that changed price relations or changes in the commodity market will require a revision in the previously proposed cropping patterns. The selected crops should also be checked against national objectives, since recent food shortages in the region as a result of droughts may have brought about more interest in the culti vation of food crops.18 The irrigation and drainage specialist will have to study the extent of the salinity problem and give recommendations for its solution and the related drainage requirements.

The selected crops should also be checked against national objectives, since recent food shortages in the region as a result of droughts may have brought about more interest in the culti vation of food crops.19 The energy crisis will make it necessary to check on the economics of methods using oil or oil-derived meterials. It might be necessary to use smaller amounts of agrochemicals or adopt a lower degree of farm mecha nization . Depending on the crops selected, an agro-processing specialist will look into the processing and storage of produce on the spot. This will reduce the quantities to be transported elsewhere in the country or abroad. This same specialist will assist in crop selection by determining the internal and export markets for the produce. 3.3. Livestock The keeping of cattle in irrigated areas is usually not advisable because of the damage they can do to the irrigation channels. Only where there is zero-grazing can this be avoided, but in this case it is likely that feeding with irrigated fodder is not economic. Nevertheless it is quite probable that most of the future settlers will be of the pastoralist Afar tribe, so they will still own some cattle which are presently grazing the irrigable land of the project. The settlers will therefore only be happy when the interests of their cattle are well looked after. Even though the cattle aspect need not be stressed, it should not be ignored in the planning of the project, so an animal husbandry specialist will have to study this problem in coopera tion with the institutional specialist examining the sociological aspects. One of the requirements of cattle is the access to drinking water. This can be arranged for either by access corridors to the river, water basins to be created along the irrigation channels at the edge of the scheme, or by drilling of wells. 3.4. Economic and financial aspects 3.4.1. Introduction The economic analysis will be carried out from the macro-economic view point and at farmlevel from the viewpoint of the farmhousehold, coo peratives and State Farms. 3.4.2. Macro-economic analysis The macro-economic analyses are aimed at technically and economically feasible combinations of the major components of the project. The analysis will consider the incremental costs and benefits by com paring the expected development "without project" and "with the pro ject". The problem areas defined by the Terms of Reference are concerned with the following combinations of project components: a hydro-power generation and agricultural production b flood protection and incremental irrigation through improved manage ment of preventive releases at the beginning of the wet season c. improvement of the low level outlet and the incremental active storage for irrigation purposes20 d. feasibility of the project and of each seperate implementation phase e. Gravity irrigation versus pump irrigation f. The possibility of using a sprinkler irrigation system Sub a - Hydro-power and agricultural production In most hydro-power projects the interests of the electricity company and of the irrigation authorities coincide only partly and workable compromises must be agreed upon. At present the water releases for hydro-power generation are scheduled according to the expected electricity demand and the experienced daily level of the connected electricity network. In order to compare the benefits from incremental irrigation versus diminishing returns from power generation the net advantages of a number of irrigation alternatives with increasing water requirements will be compared to diminishing revenues from power generation. Extension of irrigation may be recommended until the marginal irrigation benefits are close to or equal to the decrease in value of hydro-power. The loss of electric power in terms of existing and future demand will be measured in Kwh during peak hours and during off-peak hours. The value of these Kwh's will be based on the cost of alternative power generation at present and in the future. Important factors determining the alternative costs of electric power are the existing reserve capacity, the capital costs of new power plants and the expected (real) price increases of fuel in the future. Therefore, the regional and national electricity energy plans will be analysed. If recent plans for electricity generation do not exist reasonable assumptions will be discussed with the authorities before being used in the economic calculations. Sub b - Flood protection and incremental irrigation The present water management calls for non-productive water releases to prevent the risk of large floods and flood damage during the wet season. Flood protection in the valleys downstream of the dam would reduce the necessity of pre-releases, as preventive large releases later on would cause no damage. In this way the risk of not reaching the desired storage level may be avoided or considerably reduced. The economic evaluation of this situation would be based on the simulation of the in- and outflow of the dam according to various assumption on the storage management (operation rules;. k risk analysis - when based on a long series of rainfall data and flow measurements - would provide a sound basis for this type of analysis.thjf low j>y>j OMtl*t Tba t'tjv* fttor«g* for irr)t«nwi porpot** would b* *nlftrg*4 by th< us* ''1 th* p/w j*v*j r,«tj*t H !• probsbi* thst th* i rri%*tion b*rvfttz *111 b* lsrg*r *b^h th* riO of lost of hydro*pow*r ss u*w h'/4ro-pow*r plftfttft will )»/***•* th* r*ft*rv* z*ps Py furth* rotor* th* pro4ucti7* z m»* of th* *•«•* b*tw**ft th* lftt*jr* |«y*| of th* pow.r plant arid th* low I *v>, out^t womI4 psrtjy r*pls * ftoo-pro4u 11 7* pr**r*J**s*s *g discussed z z I ft a uh b 4 UnihHIp of tb* pro)* t and of **/h Imp J
