Technical Activities Sample Clauses

Technical Activities. To reach an operational, federally-recognized Water Bank and the goals identified by the Program Committee Agencies, the following technical activities were identified: • Develop and Analyze Preliminary Water Bank Scenarios – Confirmation and development of baseline for Water Bank Analysis, development of preliminary Water Bank scenario development, analysis and interpretation of modeling results, QC/verification of results, initial “loss factor” analysis using existing GSP scenarios, develop preliminary analysis of “loss factor”, and development preliminary analysis of “leave behind”. • Develop Consistent CalSim-CoSANA Baselines – Develop existing conditions baseline, develop future conditions baseline with climate change, develop cumulative conditions baseline, analysis and interpretation of baseline results, and QC/verification of results. • Ongoing Modeling Support – Technical team coordination calls, Water Bank check in recuring calls, and presentation of results. • Water Accounting System – Develop Water Accounting System (WAS) concept paper establishing a set of policies and procedures to encourage and support conjunctive use operations to facilitate the long‐term sustainability of the underlying groundwater basin as a source of public water supply. The WAS is a vital Water Bank task necessary to manage and track the movement of water in and out of the Water Bank. The WAS will include procedures on operational baseline (based on individual and detailed data analysis from each Program Committee Agency), recharge accounting, recovery accounting, recognition of previously banked water, banking losses/leave behind, accounting, storage rights tracking, in-lieu recovery tracking, consistency with Groundwater Sustainability Plans, and implementation/administration activities. This will be developed in coordination with local Groundwater Sustainability Agencies to provide consistency with applicable Groundwater Sustainability Plans. • Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Conjunctive Use Implementation - This task includes development of a set of BMPs to facilitate conjunctive use expansion that covers a range of operational, hydrogeological, technical, and public engagement issues that may face the Program Committee Agencies. • Financial Analysis - This task includes the development of a financial analysis tool to assess potential long-term net returns, water markets, and scenarios for bridging the differences in cost between surface water and groundwater. ...

Technical Activities. During the Fundraising Period BPC and BWXT mPower, Inc. (“BWXmP”) may carry out, on a coordinated basis, such DC-focused design activities and Program planning activities as they may agree upon and as will assist in attracting funding for a restarted Program.

Technical Activities. Up-scaling design of current prototype from 3kWe to 63kWe (TRL 6-7); (2) Industrial pilot plant engineering and manufacture (TRL 7); (3) Factory and Performance tests with the full scale prototype during a representative period of time of at least 3,600 hours (TRL 8);

Technical Activities. During year 2, the project implemented activities in 120 communities in three zones of Kaduna State (Maigana, Lere, and Samaru). In Maigana zone, project activities were implemented in 63 communities under eight Local Government Areas (LGAs). The LGAs are Kudan, Makarfi, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, Soba, Zaria, Giwa, Ikara, and Kubau. In Lere, activities were implemented in 36 communities under three LGAs (Igabi, Kuaru, and Lere). In Samaru, implementation of activities commenced in 21 communities in three LGAs (Sanga, Jama’a, and Zangon-Kataf). A total of 29,501 farmers, 122 agro-input dealers, six Nestlé aggregators, 15 non-Nestlé aggregators, 994 service providers, 158 grain suppliers, 83 commercial warehouse owners, and 1,644 members of 82 community-based organizations (CBOs) were trained on how to mitigate targeted contaminants. In year 3, all zones, LGAs, communities, and beneficiaries will be maintained. The activity will go on to buttress year 1 and 2 progress by strengthening current stakeholder consultations and dialogue to fortify relationships with value chain actors, as well as other stakeholders (e.g. other implementing partners, state government officials, local government entities) to ensure a holistic and sustainable approach towards reducing levels of contaminants in both maize and soybeans. The project will facilitate linkages between beneficiaries. Farmers will be linked with agro-input dealers where they can get inputs for their farms,and agro-input dealers will be linked to producers of high quality inputs that facilitates the direct supply of high quality products. Lead farmers and lead agro-input dealers will be further trained to take leadership in extending technical information to farmers. Lead famers will be encouraged to aggregate grains at the community level, which will allow for better selling prices. To ensure previously trained farmers are engaged in the promoted practices and technologies, farmers at different communities will be visited regularly and dialogues on good agricultural practices (GAP) will emphasize methods of planting, drying, storage, threshing, and how to control pests. Project-supported extension agents (EAs) and lead farmerswill lead this activity as they have been trained on these practices and they in turn have trained the beneficiaries. The aim is to identify the difficulties beneficiaries encounter in the implementation of GAP and develop ways to mitigate these issues before the end of the project. This will ensure ...

Technical Activities. Both the Institute and the Association shall encourage its technical segments to involve the related segments of the other party in international events for the exchange of technical information.

Technical Activities. YPM’s main focus over the past quarter has been to finalize roles and responsibilities with ▇▇▇’s Alliance partners and to establish the field infrastructure and staffing necessary to support the implementation of youth programs in Tijuana and Monterrey. We are pleased to report that we have made significant progress in strengthening our partnerships with the Intel Corporation and PREI and have established a new partnership with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, which is a leading construction company and builder of affordable housing in Mexico. We have also formed new government and public sector partnerships that will be essential to implement the YPM programs in Tijuana and Monterrey. Through relationships with the GDA partners, YPM has achieved the following results during the reporting period: • Hired a YPM Program Director and opened an office in Mexico City; • Established a YPM Project Team; • Met with USAID/Mexico Mission staff to launch the project and establish all protocols related to communication, reporting, branding, and financial management • Established a new private sector partnership with ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, the largest builder of affordable housing in Mexico, which has agreed to offer practical work experiences and internship/employment opportunities to YPM participants; • Consolidated existing private sector partnerships with the Intel Corporation and PREI by defining the scope of work and respective tasks for each partner company; • Established new public sector partnerships with the municipal governments of Tijuana and Monterrey and with Ashoka that will leverage significant in-kind support for YPM; and • Identified, and successfully negotiated the use of, three community spaces in which to establish the YECs and implement field activities: the Community Centers of Camino Verde and of Granjas Familiares in Tijuana as well as in the Youth Center of Independencia in Monterrey.
