| Problem solved through this practice | Low level of coordination among WUAs – as a rule, each WUA liaises independently with its water management organization (WMO). |

Меры по восстановлению природных родников: обустройство родников ограждением из камня и трубой для отвода воды |
| Description of the practice and its results | The AAMC-WUU is an association of legal entities in the form of Union – a voluntary independent non-profit public organization uniting legal entities (i.e. WUAs) based on common interests with the aim of coordinating actions and protecting shared interests and rights. AAMC-WUU operates as per the Charter approved at the general meeting of water user representatives, has its own stamp and bank account. Actions: The creation of AAMC-WUU began with the establishment of the Initiative Group (IG). The IG consisted of active water specialists, representatives of water users and other stakeholders who saw the need to transit to IWRM. Further on, the IG carried out social mobilization, drafted necessary documents (the Union’s Charter, etc.), organized the general meeting of water users that approved the Charter and established the Union’s Council (Board). After that, AAMC-WUU underwent legal registration and officially launched its work. Results:

Мероприятия: Проектом выбраны 10 родников, которые сохранили способность выхода воды на поверхность. Деятельность по проекту включала обустройство родников ограждением из камня, чтобы скот не топтал источник. Для стока воды в стенку ограждения вставлена труба. Результаты: Финансово-экономические: Технические: |
| Lessons learnt and recommendations made | Lessons learnt: The effectiveness of AAMC-WUU depends on internal and external conditions: capacities (financial, institutional, etc.) of its members (i.e. WUAs) and the level of democracy and market development in a given country. In turn, the growth of capacities of AAMC-WUU members depends on AAMC-WUU performance. Recommendation: Currently, WUAs capacities are rather poor which is reflected in AAMC-WUA own underperformance. Considering that WUA represent the weakest link in water hierarchy and the role of water users in addressing national food, water and environmental security needs, the government should find opportunities to support (first of all, financially) WUAs/AAMC-WUU during transition period (until they become self-sufficient). |
Уроки: Практика показала выгодность восстановления родников и необходимость регулярного поддержания водных объектов. Рекомендации: Нужно продолжать такие работы не только в Казахстане, но и по всему региону. Например, можно восстановить по всей Центральной Азии много родников и накопителей воды типа сардоба или подземных кяризов. |
