21312 A few elements of the projects are dealt with further below: Boundary conditions, design criteria and requirements: Per location the starting points of the natural boundary conditions, existing situation, the boats and expected growth, design criteria and client requirements were laid down. Site visits location interactions: For the various sites interactions were held with the ministries, local government, local chiefs, chief fisherman etc. Sittings and master plans of required new facilities: For all the locations the need and the size of the required new facilities was evaluated. After this step per location the options for the siting was evaluated and for the best locations master plans were made. Surveys and investigations A detailed bathymetric and topographic survey of the various sites was made. The project also involved investigations of the available materials, the costs etc. Design and detailed design: For the various sites all the elements concerned are designed. This involves where required the dredging, reclamation, breakwaters, the quays, the slope protections, the roads, drainage, the buildings etc. The breakwaters, slope protections and protected quay areas are designed using our high end computer models. The inputs for the models were the deep water wave boundaries and the detailed bathymetry using the results of the surveys of the areas. For the bigger sites the buildings involved are buildings for: mending nets, gutting of fish, fish market, day care for kids, administration building, ice making plant, engine maintenance and repair, fuel depot etc. All the designs are inclusive all civil, mechanical, electrical, lighting, architectural and landscape issues. Environmental Impact Assessment: For the various sites all issues regarding environmental impact assessment with the scoping reports are dealt with. This also involves resettlement issues where applicable and all required interactions. Ministry of Fisheries Ghana Africa

The fishing industry is an important economic factor in Ghana. The goal of the project is to have a better distribution of fishing ports infrastructure over the country. This will enable more people to make a good living in the fishing business. The project comprises the development of 12 new fishing ports including all required new facilities to develop the fishing industry and such that they all meet EU standards which will facilitate the export further. The ports will be mainly located along the coastline and two will be located in the Volta lake region. The new locations and designs need to be suitable for use by the current and the future types of fishing ships.

163580 The main aim of the project was to show to the national fisheries research institutes and the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization how satellite derived data can be implemented in management and monitoring activities. Water quality products like chlorophyll and Total Suspended Matter maps were made for the entire lake; for specific areas in each of the three countries maps were made of water hyacinth coverage; and tabular data with lake surface temperature and water level fluctuations were also generated. These products were then compared with in situ measurements that were gathered by the research institutes. The project was initiated by Vexcel the Netherlands and finalised under the responsibility of Infram. It is one of a limited number of projects ESA supported as a concrete follow-up of its Tiger initiative. ESA launched this initiative in 2002. It focuses on the use of space technology for water resource management in Africa.

Lake Victoria is a very important resource for the three riparian countries: Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. Nile Perch exports alone are valued at over US$300 –450 million per annum. The lake covers a vast area and the collection of data on the lake is therefore a time consuming exercise. The environmental challenges are very big: invasive species (water hyacinth), algae blooms and urbanisation along the shores force the countries to define a clear management policy for the lake and its catchment. The research institutes have recently been expanded with GIS laboratories, which shows that they realise the importance of geographical data, but the application of satellite derived data has only just begun. Various dedicated sensors with proven hydrological and limnological relevance are now operational. Taylor made products will further their comprehension and will start a discussion on how these products can be embedded in regular information flows.

71288 The overall objective of the Fayoum Water Users Organization Project (FaWUOP) is to assist the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) in improving water management in the project area, the Fayoum, for increased efficiency and sustainable use of land and water, resulting in economic growth and the alleviation of poverty. Within this overall framework, the specific purpose of the project is the basin-wide introduction of water users’ organizations (WUOs) at various levels, and to enhance the ability of both governmental agencies and WUOs to practice participatory, integrated water management, through capacity building and institutional reform. Project activities are organized into six inter-related components: (i) Formation of new WUOs to cover the entire area of the Fayoum (ii) Consolidation of existing WUOs (iii) Establishment of Integrated Water Management (IWM) Districts and an IWM Directorate (iv) Improvement of the environmental situation in and around the water resources (v) Capacity building of implementing agencies and their staff (vi) Strengthening of the role of women in water management in the Fayoum.

The project is a next step in the long-running efforts in the Fayoum to organize water users and support their role as active participants in the water management and development process. A forerunner was the Fayoum Water Management and Drainage Improvement Project (FWMDIP) that started in 1993. Though initially focused on technical irrigation and drainage improvements, it later made a start with establishing Local Water Boards (LWB). The Fayoum Water Management Project II (1996 – 2000) and III (2000-2006) expanded the programme by establishing more LWBs.

As part of previous support of the Netherlands to the agriculture sector in Egypt, the Fayoum Integrated Pest Management Project (FIPMP) was implemented in Fayoum Governorate from 2001 to 2007. A part of the information and knowledge generated by the FIPMP relates to the implementation of the Farmer Field Schools (FFS) approach. As a result of the successful implementation of this approach in Fayoum, a need was felt to maintain the FFS as an innovative, inexpensive and effective instrument for change at rural level in Egypt. Therefore, in this project the FFS approach will be used to tackle a broad set of human development issues of direct relevance to the poor farming communities (and women in particular) in Fayoum, which is in line with the new direction of the Netherlands assistance to Egypt.

22016 In order to find a solution for this situation, a study will be performed to deal with the wadis and to develop possibilities how to manage the discharges in the future. Some alternatives which will be worked out are: • Diverting the river • Regulate the water discharge of the large wadi by collecting rain water by dams. This water could then be used for several purposes for example to generate electricity and for irrigation. Africa

The project area is characterized by a beach consisting of medium sand and pebbles enclosed by headlands. The headlands are steep cliffs rising up to 30 m. A river mouth is debouching at the project site. The river has distinct wadi characteristics. During most of the year it is dry. However, heavy rainfall can lead to high discharges carrying large amounts of sediment. In addition, two more wadis debouch at the project site. It is obvious that this is, for a port development, a very undesirable situation.
