Problem solved through this practice |
Poor technical condition, operation and maintenance of the irrigation system |
Increasing secondary land salination, deterioration of col-lector and drainage system (CDS) |
Tools used in the practice |
MASSCOTE methodology |
A set of measures to enhance land reclamation condition (collector cleaning using special equipment, reconstruction of hydraulic engineering installations, etc.) |
Description of the practice and its results |
Actions:
Mapping of the system and services depending on canals’ purpose.
Results:
Financial and economic:
economically effective, fair and sustainable water resource management.
Ecological:
integrated protection of key environmental elements, including prevention of raising ground water level and secondary soil salination as well as irrigation-induced soil erosion, etc.
Technical:
improved technical characteristics of municipal water supply to different stakeholders.
Social:
enhanced welfare of farm employees due to increased income. |
Actions: The capital repair of inter-farm West Karmakshi Collector (WKC) is necessitated by the fact that in its current condition the Collector didn't provide for timely drainage of drainages and discharge water from cropland in the Left-Bank Massif.
Results:
Financial and economic: Increased crop productivity, mainly rice and forage crops
Technical: Enhanced reclamation condition of land in the Left-Bank Massif |
Lessons learnt and recommendations made |
Lessons learnt:
Express assessment based on MASSCOTE methodology allows to improve the planning of upgrading efforts to ensure better servicing of diversified water uses requiring higher supply flexibility and cost reduction.
Recommendations:
It is necessary to widely deploy the MASSCOTE methodology of express assessment of the condition of irrigation systems and enhancing their operation. |
Lessons learnt: Allocation of resources for cleaning CDS proved more efficient than other target actions
Recommendations: Regular and timely execution of running and capital collector cleaning is necessary to ensure its proper operation |
