Description of the practice and its results | Actions Results Technical |
Actions: Instead of 3 WMOs established based on the territorial-administrative principle, one organization (Administration of the Southern Fergana Main Canal, ASFMC) was created on the basis of the hydro-graphic principle. ASFMC is fully responsible for maintenance and operation of the SFMC from the point of water intake to the very end of the canal (see figures). Results: Transition to the hydro-graphic principle of establishing WMOs allowed to do the following:
