The second phase of the project consists of construction activities, including 393 concrete lined irrigation canals in Tank and Dera Ismail Khan Districts, land leveling, construction of water storage ponds, and the introduction of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems.<br \/>\nApproximately 30,000 families are expected to directly benefit from this activity.
