There is a range of milestones relating to the progress of the project, including hectares available for irrigation, number of landowner agreements joining the irrigation system, hectares in operation, and increasing water consumption. One of the challenges of the operations phase faced by the Project Company is that there are some clauses of the PPP contract that are difficult to fulfil from an operational point of view. For example, any damage to the infrastructure must be repaired within 48 hours of discovery, with deductions applied if this is not completed. This is not always feasible for the Project Company. For example, there was an incident where cables were stolen from a pumping station and replacing them required more than two days. However, the Procuring Authority believes this is necessary. A two-day delay in irrigation can seriously damage crops, and hence the requirement must be very strict. It was also agreed between the parties when entering into the PPP contract.
