Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) to minimise erosion in the catchment of the reservoir, thereby reducing siltation in the reservoir. Resettlement & Rehabilitation of Project Affected Population. Restoration of Dumping Sites and Quarry Sites using engineering and biological measures. Reservoir Rim Treatment plan to stabilise reservoir periphery. Conservation measures for flora and fauna, to conserve flora and fauna native to the ecosystem of the area.
