The five-year contract has an estimated value to Hill of approximately Dh23.5 million ($6.4 million).
The new irrigation networks will serve the proposed reservoirs of the municipality and the surrounding regions till 2020.
The current pumping and irrigation zones will be re-grouped, dividing Al Ain into 18 zones, and the region outside the city into 11 zones. Each zone will be equipped with a reservoir which can store at least a day’s supply of water, a pumping station and a central irrigation control system.
Construction is expected to begin in January 2009 and conclude by January 2013.
