Empowering Sustainable Water Management For A Prosperous Southern Province

About Our Department

Southern Provincial Irrigation Department (SPID) came into being with the formation of Southern Provincial Council in 1989. The functions and duties of the province formerly carried out by the Central Irrigation Department were handed over to the newly formed Provincial Irrigation Department as per 13th amendment to the Constitution.

According to the 13th amendment all non-inter-provincial irrigation schemes should be under the purview of the Provincial Department. We are committed to sustainable water management and agricultural development in the Southern Province.
