Проблема, которая решается применением практики | Uneven distribution of irrigation water, lack of water accounting means to ensure observance of recommended irrigation norms for cotton |
Low water use efficiency on WUA and farm levels |
Примененные в практике инструменты | Tubular water outlet flowmeter |
Technical tools: Effective water use technologies, modern technologies of irrigation water management. Cognitive tools: Consultations by Helvetas Swiss Intercooperation and local experts, capacity-building training seminars. |
Описание практики и ее результаты | Actions: - Construction of tubular water outlet flowmeter with removable nozzles (procurement of polyethylene piping to make tubular water outlets and matching nozzles); Results: Financial and economic: saving of irrigation water; low cost of irrigation system automation (total kit cost: $500/ha) with the service life of 5 years. Technical: simple design allowing a more even distribution of irrigation water stream among furrows, thus, ensuring the prescribed water supply mode. Social: improved working conditions of irrigators; lower labor needs/costs; enhanced mutual trust among farmers and water users. |
Actions: Capacity building:
Partnership building:
Results: The practice promoted building of WUA capacities, increasing the efficiency of irrigation water use on farm level as well as building farmer capacities on water resources management. |
Какие уроки и рекомендации можно извлечь из практики | Lessons learnt: Installation and deployment of tubular water outlet flowmeter allows to improve the uniformity of irrigation stream’s distribution among furrows and conduct irrigation water accounting. Recommendations: It is necessary to widely use the small-scale irrigation automation means like the tubular water outlet flowmeters which have simple design, are convenient to operate, are low-cost and mobile and ensure supply of the prescribed amount of irrigation water. |
Lessons learnt: Water shortage and inefficient water use (field/farm level) pose obstacles to farmers receiving high yields and incomes from agricultural production. Excessive irrigation in upper-stream areas and water shortage in lower-stream areas, although a paradox, occur simultaneously as farmers lack knowledge on actual crop water requirements and water-efficient irrigation. Recommendations: The practice should be scaled-up across the country. It is also necessary to conduct regular trainings to raise awareness among farmers and build their capacities on applying advanced irrigation methods providing them with an opportunity to manage scarce water resources more effectively. |

Краткая информация о проекте | Project title: Watering technology based on tubular water outlet flowmeters. Project duration: Apr 2010-Oct 2011. Project goal and objectives: development and deployment of a crop watering technology for dekhan farms of the Republic of Tajikistan allowing to significantly increase the efficiency of water use. Project beneficiaries: members of “Istikol” WUA (Water User Association). Project implementer: Institute of Water Issues, Hydropower and Ecology of the Academy of Sciences of the RTj |
Project title: Effective Water Use (SEP) (Kyrg. “Suunu effektivduu paidalanuu”) Project duration: 2009-2017 (9 years). Project goal and objectives: enhance water resources management frameworks and capacities in terms of rendering services to farmers with the aim of increasing their incomes, food security and capabilities to adapt to social, economic and climate risks; improve farmers knowledge and their abilities to apply advanced field-level irrigation and water collection methods providing them with an opportunity to manage scarce water resources more effectively. Project beneficiaries: water users (farmers) and WUAs. Project implementer: Department of Water Management and Reclamation of the MoAFIR of Kyrgyzstan |
