Water Management Challenges

in Central AsiaWater for Socio-Economic Development:

- Population growth;

- Irrigation complex creates 30% of GDP and employs 60%of population;- Huge pumping systems;- Lack of funds for proper irrigation infrastructuremaintenance and development

Water for Food Security :

- Irrigated agriculture provides almost 90% of cropproduction; 88% of total water resources used for irrigation



Water Management Challenges

in Central AsiaConflicts around Water:Between countries over water shares and schedule of supply;Between upstream and downstream countries;Between irrigation and power generation regimes;Between human needs and nature;

Water and Environment:Disaster of the Aral Sea and deltas;Climate change;Processes of desertification;Soil salinity and erosion on the irrigated areas;

Decreasing biodiversity;

Water Quality and Human Health:Accelerated water pollution in rivers;

Groundwater degradation;Growth of diseases and mortality in downstream zones.

Focus Areas:

• Legal Framework for Water Rights and Water Allocation

• Institutions

• Water Assessment and Data Exchange

• Joint Operation and Maintenance

• IWRM Planning



Legal Framework for Water Rights and Water Allocation

• Regulation of 1983 on Water Sharing in the Chu Basin

1.6 mln m3 - 50% KAZ/ 50% KGZ

• Regulation of 1983 on Water Sharing in the Talas Basin6.6 mln m3 - 42% KAZ/ 58% KGZ

• KAZ/ KGZ Agreement of 2000 on the Use of Interstate WaterFacilities in the Chu and Talas Basins(2 Reservoirs, 3 Main Canals, 1 Main Control Structure)

• KAZ Water Code 2003 and KGZ Water Code 2005The water resources are the property of the State. Everyone has the righ t to usewater w ithin the national boundaries in accordance with the provisions of thisCode.

Water Assessment and Data Exchange

• 10 Monitoring Stations in the Talas Basin

• 5 Monitoring Stations in the Chu Basin

- Al l need rehabil i tation

• 6 Meteorological Stations in KAZ under rehabilitation

• Number of Water Intakes (need rehabilitation)

• ADB assistance:

10 sets of computers installed at all interstate water facilities

Computer models for water assessment and allocations

Automated Management Information System at Kirov Reservoir

• OSCE, UN ECE, UNESCAP assistance:

Joint Operation and Maintenance

• Water facilities in KGZ for joint O&M identified according to2000 Agreement

New water control structures to be included

• A mechanism for cost-sharing of O&M developed

KAZ/ KGZ pay O&M cost proportionally to water allocatedThe Chu Talas Commission identifies the scope of priority works,

prepares cost estimates and submits requests for funding

KAZ provides cash or contractors to execute w orks

KAZ/ KGZ jointly commission the works

Needs further improvements



Development of IWRM Plans

• Understanding of the IWRM benefits increased(KAZ adopted National IWRM Plan) and

KAZ/ KGZ requested ADB’s assistance indeveloping IWRM plans for both basins

• Legal Framework exists(KAZ/ KGZ Water Codes, 2000 Agreement)

• Polit ical w il l and commitment from bothcountries in place

• Institutional and technical capacity needs to beenhanced



Development of IWRM Plans(Proposed Activities)

• Amendment of 2000 Agreement

• Establishment of Interstate Chu Talas Basin Council

• Baseline data on w ater quality and quantity

• Stakeholders consultations

• Inventory and improvement of water infrastructure

• Introduction of computer model for waterassessment and allocation in both basins

• Assessment of w ater losses



Development of IWRM Plans(Proposed Activities)

• Rehabilitation of key control structures

• Improved automation for water allocation

• Development of IWRM plans and mechanisms fortheir implementation

• Capacity building of stakeholder institutions

• Public awareness and information dissemination

• Endorsement of IWRM plans by both countries
