Farmers at the Bura Irrigation Scheme in Tana River County will benefit from the new Sh7 billion project by the National Irrigation Authority aimed at cutting down the cost of water conveyance by use of gravity.

The new intake will cut the current Sh3.5 million cost that the authority is spending on fuel alone to pump water over 50 kilometres away to the farms.
