The project is being fully developed by the Federal Government of Nigeria.  It presently comprises a system of large dam, 75km tunnel through Kaduna and Usma basins of Kaduna State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).   The dam is built on River Gurara and is Nigeria&#8217;s largest and pioneer water transfer scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the project is to enhance the use of Gurara River by storing, regulating and controlling the flow of Gurara River and its affluent in order to effect the delivery of specified quantities of water to Designated Outlet Point for the FCT water supply and by utilising such delivery systems to generate at least 30 megawatts (1st Phase and 300 MW 2nd phase) of hydro-electric power to be fed into the national grid. The project is also to develop at least 20,000 hectares of irrigable land downstream of the dam. <\/p>\n<p> The Project will also implement Environmental and Social Management Action Programmes to protect the existing quality of the environment and enhance the socio-economic well being of the population living in the project area in Kaduna State, the FCT and Niger State.  Tourism and fisheries will be developed on the reservoir supported by infrastructure facility such as access roads, construction camps, power, communication and other services (such as Demonstration and Project Development Farms for accelerated output enhancement).<\/b><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>PROJECT NAME: GURARA DAM MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT<\/p>\n<p>MINISTRY: THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND WATER RESOURCES.<\/p>\n<p>MANAGEMENT: GURARA WATER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (GWMA)<\/p>\n<p>CONSULTANT: COYNE ET BELLIER \/ DECROWN (W.A) COMPANY LTD.
