Pilot Sites  
 

the Project activity is being implemented in four provinces of Fergana Valley: Andijan and Fergana (in Uzbekistan), Osh (in Kyrgyz Republic) and Sogd (in Tajikistan). Restructurization and searching for new organizational decisions is being carried out along three main canals – in one in each of three states:

 

Pilot canals

Water Users Associations

Demonstration sites

 

  • in Kyrgyzstan — inter-district Aravan-Akbura canal (AAC);

  • in Tajikistan — inter-district Khodja-Bakirgan canal (KhBC), the former GulyaKandoz;
  • in Uzbekistan — inter-state, inter-provincial and inter-district South Fergana canal(SFC).

The key partners on organization (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan) or development of existing WUAs (Kyrgyzstan) are:

  • WUA «Zhapalak» in Karasu district, Osh province (Kyrgyzstan) with total irrigated area 2012 ha togerther with two other WUAs («Zhanaryk» with command area 1006 ha and «Akbuura» with command area 2048 ha) will be consolidated along Aravan-Akbura canal.

In order to monitor over irrigation water use, to evaluate actual water and land productivity as well as based on it to develop recommendations on improving water use productivity within pilot canals 10 demonstration sites have been selected in the head, middle-point and tail of the canal: (fig. 1).
