However, latter two dams were decided to be removed from the plan. Belesova dam judged to be already in good condition and rehabilitation was not required. Comments: Playa was a small dam serving only few farmers. The number of people served by the dam progressively diminished due to outmigration. In addition, the dam required significant investments. As investing in this dam does not make economic sense, the plan for rehabilitating it was cancelled.
