There was organized demonstration of activities under CWP-Tajikistan's supervision as a contribution to the WACDEP CACENA. The goal of demo activities is to test irrigation technologies for different aftercrops (followed winter wheat) and to show possibilities for farmers to gain more benefit from the same irrigated area. The second direction at this Center is to test different advanced irrigation techniques such as drip, sprinkler, etc.
