|-
|'''Water supply'''
|Dried up springs and shallow wells, people are now depending on open source of water such as the wetland.
|Several springs revived, improvement of soil and water retention for 150000 M2 agricultural land.
|
|-
|'''MUS'''
|Drinking water plus sufficient water for increased agricultural production on small irrigated plots.
|Better soil moisture for agricultural land
|
|-
|'''3R'''
|Recharge
|Recharge of water table uphill and slower drainage into wetland
|
|-
|'''Business development'''
|Yam production near the sources, which will increase income
|Environmental sustainability of these plantations
