Efforts made to build the dams across the country have led to the transformation of vast farm areas of the Gash-Barka region. Farmlands have been leveled in designated areas: around 10,000 hectares in Gerset, around 24,000 hectares in Kerkebet and over 5,000 hectares in Fanko-Rawi and Fanko-Tsumu’e.
Apart from building dams and distribution facilities, the Government of Eritrea set up a Polyethylene water-pipe, which is climate and pressure resilient, manufacturing plant in Massawa and installed power supply facilities in the agricultural zones that have been developed.
