Why a need for the On-Farm Irrigation
Project appeared in our country:
As
the result of the land
reform, as well as collapse of
kolkhozes and sovkhozes,
the on-farm irrigation network
appeared to have no owner;
On-farm irrigation system
had inadequate technical
condition due to the lack of
O&M;
6

Land plots owners suffered
from difficulties, connected
with inadequate and untimely
water supply, because no
one has been dealing with
management
of
on-farm
irrigation;

Government agencies,
responsible for off-farm
irrigation systems have been
suffering themselves from
lack of funds and absence of
on-farm managerial
resources;
7
Why the concept of WUA development
has been adopted:



Management of on-farm irrigation system is fulfilled by
the farmers-water users, who know their problems and
specifications best;
Mainly management is fulfilled on a transparent basis,
because a WUA is such an organization in which water
users make their own decisions without outside
interference;
The government cannot effectively manage on-farm
irrigation system. Government agencies would face
significant financial and social defects upon such
management;
8
Component 1. Establishment and
Development of WUAs.
A
wide range of WUAs support units in
all oblasts and rayons of the republic
have been established and are
functioning. These units work locally
on establishing and training of WUAs;
 Practical
training courses on all kind of
activities of WUAs have been
developed and introduced;
9

A wide-scale propaganda of WUAs
development was made in the form of
workshops, distribution of information
leaflets and issue of TV and Mass-media
presentations;
 A data-base on WUAs has been created
and developed an annual form of reports
on the basis of which monitoring of WUAs
activities are conducted;
 Legal framework has been established – a
Law on WUAs, a Water Code were
adopted, and standard WUAs charters
have been drafted;
 315 WUAs have fully taken their irrigation
infrastructures to their balance.

planned number of WUAs
factually registered WUAs
450 WUAs independently serve 714 th. ha of
irrigated lands, which equals to 70% of
total irrigated area (1043 th. Ha) in the country.

Milestones of WUA Development:
1.
Officially established WUAs, including legal registration;
2.
WUA staff hired and paid, and training program started;
3
WUA Council and management have prepared a long-term
plan on O&M, including plan of ISF development;
4.
WUA members have paid fee for all services, including
payment to DWR starting from the WUA establishment date,
that was no less than 30% of actual expenses on O&M needs
of their irrigation systems;
5-7. WUA management together with the WUAs members and with
the assistance of the Project have drafted and chosen
alternative ways of irrigation systems rehabilitation. WUA
members voted for taking funds to implement rehabilitation
agreed with the repayment conditions.

Prior Issues to be focused on:

Increase of WUA Councils role
 Increase of WUAs members awareness and
participation in decision-making process;
 Explanation of establishment of real ISF
(irrigation service fee) adoption necessity that
can cover O&M costs;
Implementation of training activities meeting
the needs of all WUAs
Integration of the WUAs Support Units into
the DWR structure
15
Component 2. Rehabilitation

The Project is aimed to
rehabilitate 120 thousand
ha of irrigated lands in
the selected by
milestones achievement
criteria in 63 WUAs.
16
Rehabilitation results

From 63 sub-projects
rehabilitation has been
implemented in 40 WUAs on
74 thousand ha of irrigated
land.
 824 km of canals and 126
km drainages network, 23
storages, 391 hydroposts
1786 structures were
rehabilitated .
17
The Concept of Rehabilitation Component
lies in active involvement of WUA staff and
members at all stages.






Initial Stage:
review of technical condition of WUA irrigation
infrastructure;
identifying of WUA needs in rehabilitation;
developing financial estimation documents;
developing several rehabilitation alternatives;
selection of the most suitable alternative on
General Assembly or Assembly of
Representative.
18

Preparatory Stage:
 developing design estimates with the assistance
of Support Units, oblast Rehabilitation Teams,
and project companies;
 official resolution of WUA General Assembly on
agreement of repayment of 25% rehabilitation
costs sign by no less than 80% of members;
 WUA signed the agreement of repayment.
 Implementation Stage:
 selection of contractors;
 agreeing with WUA rehab work schedule;
 rehabilitation works;
 joint Supervision with WUA on rehabilitation;
 acceptance of completed rehab works.
19
Studied WUA Groups
Group 1 – Project support and
rehabilitation of irrigation
