Project Objectives

• To produce 1:2000-scale topographic maps using available aerial imagery to identify and evaluate the most suitable locations for the development of irrigation and drainage infrastructure.
• To establish an integrated geospatial database for technical, economic, and environmental analyses.
• To facilitate the optimal design of irrigation systems through the high-accuracy topographic datasets and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).
  
  

Scope of Consultancy Services

• Production of topographic maps required for the feasibility studies and engineering design of large-scale irrigation development projects in the Mount Elgon, Rwenzori, Agoro Hes, and the southwestern highlands of Uganda.
• Pre-processing of available aerial imagery and generation of high-accuracy three-dimensional terrain models based on precise exterior orientation parameters.
• Preparation of engineering topographic maps to support the design of irrigation canals, pumping stations, regulating reservoirs and dams, and associated hydraulic structures.
• Development of Digital Elevation Model (DEMs), slope maps, and aspect maps for hydrological studies, terrain analysis, and water transfer system design.
• Preparation and delivery of base maps in GIS and CAD-compatible formats.
