To quantify through a data gathering and evaluation activity <br />the salt load reduction attributable to improved irrigation <br />water management. <br /> <br />.~~~, <br /> <br />2. To provide farmers with improved technical assistance for <br />achieving irrigation water management. <br /> <br />3. To evaluate changes in wetland and wi Idlife habitat resulting <br />from improved irrigation systems and irrigation water <br />management. <br /> <br />4. To determine local economic impacts of this sal inity project. <br /> <br />6. To determine changes that should be mad~in the project to <br />achieve sal inity control objectives. <br /> <br />The M&E program, to be implemented on representative farms and crops in <br />the area, wi I I monitor surface inflow, precipitation and surface outflow to <br />determine the amount of water that infi Itrates into the soil.
