Проблема, которая решается применением практики | Imperfections of the water management mechanism in the Isfara small transboundary river basin |
Low water use efficiency on WUA and farm levels |
Примененные в практике инструменты | The principle of stakeholder engagement in decision-making associated with water management of small transboundary river; IWRM planning technique |
Technical tools: Effective water use technologies, modern technologies of irrigation water management. Cognitive tools: Consultations by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation and local experts, capacity-building training seminars. |
Описание практики и ее результаты | The river originates in Kyrgyzstan in Ak-Suu Glacier on the northern slope of the Turkestan Ridge 3,193 m above sea level. The Ak-Suu ruins are located close to the river source. Near the settlement of Karavshin, the river is called the same name. Crossing the national border, the river merges with the Kshemysh River (Kshemyshsai) and, further on, the river receives the name of Isfara. Actions: Establishment of stakeholder groups, i.e. Small Basin Councils (SBC) representing local authorities, NGOs, water users and local communities. SBC secretariats independently hold internal semi-annual meetings. Thus, the SBCs serve as platforms to exchange opinions and information as well as take joint decisions associated with the enhancement of the overall situation in the river basin. Results: Creation of national Small Basin Councils (SBC) on the Isfara River allowed a platform for exchanging opinions and information as well as for drawing joint decisions to improve the overall situation in the Isfara River Basin, including the development of the IWRM basin plan for the target basin. |
Actions: Capacity building:
Partnership building:
Results: The practice promoted building of WUA capacities, increasing the efficiency of irrigation water use on farm level as well as building farmer capacities on water resources management. |
Какие уроки и рекомендации можно извлечь из практики | Lessons learnt: Introduction of IWRM principles is the pre-requisite of stable and fair water supply irrespective of a given water user’s location. Recommendations: Currently, when local stakeholders are represented in SBCs and are engaged in joint water management, it is necessary to hold thematic seminars to ensure sustainability of SBC operations in the future. In the long term, it might be possible to establish a joint body to manage the whole river basin. |
Lessons learnt: Water shortage and inefficient water use (field/farm level) pose obstacles to farmers receiving high yields and incomes from agricultural production. Excessive irrigation in upper-stream areas and water shortage in lower-stream areas, although a paradox, occur simultaneously as farmers lack knowledge on actual crop water requirements and water-efficient irrigation. Recommendations: The practice should be scaled-up across the country. It is also necessary to conduct regular trainings to raise awareness among farmers and build their capacities on applying advanced irrigation methods providing them with an opportunity to manage scarce water resources more effectively. |

Краткая информация о проекте | Development and implementation of basin plans constitute principal elements of integrated water resources management. Multi-agency coordination mechanism via basin councils or coordination groups is an important advantage of IWRM. This approach allows streamlined coordination and synergy of actions on all levels of management hierarchy. Project title: Stakeholder partnership in joint policy-making: assistance to transboundary cooperation in small watersheds of Central Asia. Project duration: Apr 2012-Oct 2016 Project goal and objectives: introduction of the integrated water resources management (IWRM) practice in three transboundary watersheds and its scaling-up in Central Asia. Project beneficiaries: communities of the Isfara small transboundary river basin, specialists of water and environmental agencies, farmers. Project implementer: USAID/CAREC. |
Project title: Effective Water Use (SEP) (Kyrg. “Suunu effektivduu paidalanuu”) Project duration: 2009-2017 (9 years). Project goal and objectives: enhance water resources management frameworks and capacities in terms of rendering services to farmers with the aim of increasing their incomes, food security and capabilities to adapt to social, economic and climate risks; improve farmers knowledge and their abilities to apply advanced field-level irrigation and water collection methods providing them with an opportunity to manage scarce water resources more effectively. Project beneficiaries: water users (farmers) and WUAs. Project implementer: Department of Water Management and Reclamation of the MoAFIR of Kyrgyzstan |
