| SEBATAN DRAINAGE SCHEME ( FORMALY KNOWN AS SEBATAN II ) | |
| Status of Project | Scheme Operation & Maintenance ( O & M ) |
| Project Period | August 1993 - October 1994 (approximately 14 months ) |
| Project Life | 25 years (approximately) |
| Project Area |
The scheme is located to the North of Batang Krian, near Saratok Town. The site is at the confluence of Sg. Sebetan and Batang Krian is drained principally by Sg. Sebetan and Sg. Anak. It covers a total area of about 458 hectare. The scheme is divided into two (2) compartments i.e. Compartment A along the left side up stream of Sg. Sebatan and Compartment B on the right side of Sg. Sebetan. Compartment B of Sebetan Drainage Scheme can be accessible by road, while Compartment A can only be accessed by boat.
|
| Project Cost |
The initial construction cost of the scheme was recorded at RM 1,687,000.00
|
| Annual O & M Cost |
On the average, the cost to operate and maintain the scheme annually is recorded at around RM 89,642.00.
|
| Project Objectives |
The main objective of the scheme is to drain out excess water in the scheme areas and hold back salt water inundation which is harmful to crops. This will enable the people to continue with agriculture activities and obtain a steady and better income. |

| ENTEBU KUPANG DRAINAGE SCHEME | |
| Status of Project | Scheme Operation & Maintenance ( O & M ) |
| Project Period | The scheme was originally constructed and completed in 1983 |
| Project Life | 30 years |
| Project Area |
The scheme is located on the right bank of Btg. Krian, opposite Saratok Town as per copy of the plan attached herewith. It covers an area of about 648 ha. The scheme is divided into four blocks i.e. Block A (154 ha.), Block B (122 ha.), Block C ( 162 ha.), Block D (210 ha.)
Entebu Kupang Drainage Scheme can be access by road via Jalan Bajau/Selambong off Pan Borneo Highway besides using small boat crossing from Saratok Town. As such, it is very convenient for the farmers to choose either by boat or by land for them to go to their farms or transport their produce to the town. |

| Project Objectives |
The main objective of the scheme is to provide proper drainage infrastructures to the area which would subsequently increase the area of cultivation. Thus, it would increase productivity, which will increase the income of the farmers and subsequently improve their standard of living. In this way the agricultural and social aspect of the project is achieved. This is very much inline with the National Economic Policy to eradicate or reduce incidences of poverty in the rural areas. |

| LUBOK NIBONG CONTROLLED DRAINAGE SCHEME | |
| Status of Project | Scheme Operation & Maintenance ( O & M ) |
| Project Period | The scheme was originally constructed in early 1970’s and completed in 1972with the initial cost of RM120,000.00. The initial construction involved construction of perimeter bund, one number of 5’ x 5’ TCG, and one unit of single door barrack for the OIC. The scheme was rehabilitated in 1982. The infrastructures implemented were: one number of 5’ x 5’ TCG to replace the old one, three numbers of 10’ x 34’ timber crossing, one number of 3-door barrack and four numbers of control drop for more proper water management in the scheme. |
| Project Life | 30 years |
| Project Area |
The scheme is situated alongside Krian River about 14.50 km downstream of Saratok Town. Formally, it is only accessible by river and it takes about two hours ride from Saratok Town. The construction of Pusa-Sessang road make it accessible by road in the middle of the year 2007. This scheme falls within the jurisdiction of Kabong sub district in Betong Division. The scheme covers an area of about 231 hectares and consisting of sub-block namely Block 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 ( refer to layout plan).

| Project Objectives |
( a ) The implementation of the scheme is to provide modern and proper drainage and irrigation infrastructures to alleviate agricultural constraint in the project.
( b ) Provision of adequate infrastructural facilities to overcome salty water intrusion and discharging of excessive water through tidal gate.
( c ) Better land utilization in the project area is the result of proper implementation of drainage infrastructure. This has allowed participants successfully to have rice and off season crop cultivation. Increasing yield for padi, thus income and social well being of the farmers also increase. This has help to eradicate rural poverty rate which is in line with the New Economic Policy. |

| Farm Characteristics | Average farm size : 0.80 – 2.0 ha. Land Tenure Statues : Land is not alienated to the farm families who claim to be landowners from nearby seven villages. The landowner is permitted to rent out a piece of land to another person if the landowner is not cultivating it. However, some landowners refused to rent out the land or refuse such transaction, thus created pocket of uncultivated areas resulting as breeding ground for pest or rodents. Besides, some landowners has planted perennial drops such as cocoa and coconut, which is also not well maintained (about 9.81 hectares) Present Cropping : Main season – padi (July - March) Off Season- Watermelon & maize,coconut ( March-June) |

Agricultural Aspect and Social Aspect:
i) To overcome the constraint which impede agricultural activities in the project. ii) Its establishment contributes towards the socio-economic development of the project area so as to increase the income of the farmers, increase productivity and improve the living standard in the project. iii) The provision of drainage facilities and engineering infrastructures to support modern agronomic practices iv) Create optimum crop, water and soil environment to support farm production in the project. v) Existing infrastructures such as Tidal Control Gates and Perimeter Bund have overcome the problem of salty water intrusion and discharging of excess water. vi) The implementation of DID project has resulted the farmers in the area not only to be self sufficient in rice but to sell the excess of rice to increase their income. vii) The cultivation of perennial crops such as coconut has also created regular and sustainable source of income. These are in line with the government’s New Economic Policy. |

| TG. SEBEKUT CONTROLLED DRAINAGE SCHEME | |
| Status of Project | Scheme Operation & Maintenance ( O & M ) |
| Project Period | The scheme was originally constructed and completed in 1979 and rehabilitated in 1990 and as well in 2007. |
| Project Life | 30 years |
| Project Area |
The scheme is located at a tanjung or peninsula bounded to the East by Sg. Paku adng to the South by Batang Layar as per copy of the plan attached herewith. It covers a total area of about 300 hectares.
Spaoh town which is located right on the opposite bank of Sg. Paku is the nearest township to the scheme. Administrative wise, the scheme falls within the jurisdiction of Spaoh Sub-District in the Betong Division.
Presently, the scheme is not accessible by road. Farmers who wish to get to their farms other than on foot would have to resort to their motorbikes via two suspension bridges at Jalan Kubu and Kpg Hilir, both linking Spaoh town while those from Rh. Bebuling Atas and Baroh, Rh. Luban Ili and Ulu would have to walk on foot.

| Project Objectives |
The main objective of the scheme is to provide the proper drainage and irrigation infrastructures to the area which would subsequently increase the area of cultivation. With the proper and efficient up-to-date method of farm management, the farmers would not only benefit in self-sufficiency in rice but also to sustain cash income from the sale of excess padi and off-season crops. This is very much inline with the National Economic Policy to eradicate or reduce incidences of poverty in the rural areas as well as the National Agriculture Policy of maximizing income from agriculture through efficient utilization of existing resources.
