The works follow a priority set by the users

Acquisition of water: to augment water inflow into the tanks by clearing weeds, evicting encroachments and cleaning and desilting feeder channels

Conservation and Development: by restoring tank bunds to their original design, repairing or rebuilding sluice outlets and surplus weirs, planting and preserving fodder, fuel, horticultural or herbal plants on the tank foreshore and bunds

Improving the water use efficiency: replacing damaged or missing shutters in sluice outlets, rebuilding existing distribution channels, distribution boxes and lining the distribution systems

Rehabilitation works in tanks include not only restoring the original designs, but also promoting efficient water use and improving the cropping patterns.
