National Drainage Programme (NDP) The National Drainage Programme aims to optimize the benefits of irrigation by draining excess irrigation water from agricultural land in order to reduce water logging and consequent soil salinity, in addition to making more land available for cultivation. This is expected to result in higher crop yields in the target areas, higher farm incomes, and increased food security and poverty reduction in general. The project has three components; (I) Construction and Rehabilitation of Subsurface and Surface Drainage, (II) Strengthening EPADP Capacity for Operation and Maintenance, and (III) Project Management and Institutional Development Assistance.
