<p class="MsoNormal">Kinyeti River has its origins in the Imatong Mountains close to the South Sudan-Uganda border and from there flows northwards, eventually dispersing into the Badigeru swamp. The proposed project has multiple components including small scale potable water supplies, fisheries management, irrigation, livestock watering and watershed management.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Kinyeti River multipurpose development project is one of the three short term projects proposed as part of the Baro-Akobo-Sobat multipurpose water resources development study project. The three short term projects are based on the sustainable development of water resources. They aim at providing inter-sectoral benefits and improving peoples livelihoods in the sub-basin. The Kinyeti project is centered around the construction of a multipurpose dam in Eastern Equatoria, South Sudan, upstream of the city of Torit.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The project has been designed to provide the following benefits:</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">The 45 million m3 reservoir will secure water access for the city of Torit (100,000 inhabitants projected in 2041). It will also support capture fisheries and recreational activities</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">The regulation of the flow will provide water for the development of irrigation (1,000 ha) and aquaculture (100 ponds of 200 m²) downstream of the dam. It will also provide water for the livestock all year round and satisfy an environmental flow during the dry season. Irrigation and aquaculture will be introduced in this area and there would be room for further expansion of these activities in the future.</p>
<p>Feasibility studies completed with an estimated investment costs is USD 92 million</p>
