In January 2026, within the framework of the Tajikistan Resilient Landscape Restoration Project (RESILAND Tajikistan), based on a business plan for the rehabilitation of an irrigation canal to irrigate 18 hectares of land, construction materials were procured and delivered to the members of the Common Interest Group (CIG) of Baravni Tor village, Vanj District, GBAO. These materials included 1,000 meters of pipes with a diameter of 200 mm.
It should be noted that more than 18 hectares of agricultural land are located within the area of activity of the CIG in this village, which previously could not be supplied with the required volume of water due to the small diameter of the pipes.
It is expected that upon completion of the construction works, the problem of irrigation water shortages across the total area of 18 hectares will be fully resolved. The implementation of this activity will contribute to increased agricultural production, provision of drinking water for livestock, improved efficiency in the use of water resources, enhanced socio-economic conditions of the local population, and adaptation to climate change.
