The water stored in the Roseires reservoir, as presently planned, would allow the Government to a) conversion of restricted pump schemes to unrestricted pumping; b) intensification of cropping in the Gezira area; c) extension of the Gezira-Managil area; d) inceasing supplies for existing pumping schemes; e) expansion of sugar cane production in the Guneid area. The increased storage following construction of the Roseires dam will allow the Government the expansion of irrigated agricultural production for local and export markets.
