Transboundary Water Management in Central Asia Programme
www.waterca.org projects/twmp_ca
Objective (1) The expertise and management capacities of the regional water management institutions, such as the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (IFAS), are enhanced. (2) For selected cross-border rivers, the institutional capacities of the river basin organisations for watercourse management are improved. (3) Water users and local and national administrations possess the necessary knowledge and capabilities to help achieve integrated water management.
Green growth means fostering economic growth and development, while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies.
Integrated Water Resources Management in Fergana Valley
The web site is dedicated to the outreach of integrated water resources management in Central Asia based on the case study of one of the major projects in the region in this field “IWRM-Fergana”.

Rural Enterprise Support Project (Phase II) - Swiss Government Parallel Grant Financing for Sub-components 2b and 2c
The project objective is to increase the productivity and financial and environmental stability of agriculture and the profitability of water users in the project areas. As such it contributes to the further development of private farming, more secure livelihoods, increased environmental stability, greater social harmony, and to improved effectiveness of water resources management.
RIVERTWIN — A Regional Model for Integrated Water Management in Twinned River Basins
The project objective is to develop an integrated regional model for strategic planning of water resources management (WRM) in twinned river. Three river basins were selected for modeling in different regions (the Neckar river, the Oueme river, and the Chirchik river in Germany, Benin, and Central Asia, respectively).
The main objective is to promote capacity building of river basin organisations, to improve their expertise, and to help them, through twinning, to overcome water management problems mainly by:
- Promoting a friendly cooperation between water managers
- Tightening ties among basin organisations
- Improving communication between the basins participating in the twinning
- Encouraging exchange of expertise, knowledge and technical personnel
- Strengthening effectiveness of integrated water management within organisations
- Improving, overall, the functioning of these institutions
Water Productivity Improvement at Plot Level Project
The objective of the Water Productivity Improvement at Plot Level project is to strengthen the capacity (in terms of knowledge, extension material and methods) of the differ-ent actors in the agricultural innovation system through strategic alliances for conveying solid and adapted extension messages relating to water productivity improvement at plot level to the farmers.
Ferghana Valley Canal Automation Project
The project aims to improve the operation of the irrigation system and ensure efficient water allocation. It also aims at finding a balance and smoothening out the water flow fluctuations originated by the operation of the upstream Toktogul Power Cascade and Uch-Kurgan main waterworks.
The objective of the project is to contribute to the development of efficient and coordinated national policies with regard to water-quality aspects of integrated water resources management in Central Asia.
