The overall objective of the project is to carry out flood-protection measures along the shores of the Bayin River where it passes through Delingha City. The river is the city's primary source of water. The project will help insure the safety of the population, protect infrastructure and enhance irrigation of downstream agricultural lands. Works will include:
- construction of 22 km of stone dikes on both banks of the Bayin River;
- construction of dams and a 225 m-long steel-reinforced concrete bridge;
- construction and equipping of six pumping stations;
- planting around 48 hectares with trees, shrubs and grass to prevent erosion;
- installation of a low-pressure irrigation system; and
- consultancy services.
