Problem solved through this practice |
Low level of coordination among WUAs – as a rule, each WUA liaises independently with its water management organization (WMO). |
Степень водообеспеченности пастбищных земель очень низкая, количество перегона скота на водопой меньше, чем по нормативу, эрозия почв. |

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:
- AAMC-WUU established, legally registered and has been operating until present time;
- AAMC-WUU contributed to the following:
- enhanced stability and uniformity of water supply to WUAs via state WMO; - better collection of water supply service fees paid by WUAs to state WMO.
- Representing the interests of water users as a member of the RMC Water Committee, AAMC-WUU also contributed to decreasing conflicts between WUAs and WMO.

Мероприятия:
Сначала определено точное место выклинивания воды и очищено от грязевой массы. Ниже 15 метров от этого места построены 3 сообщающиеся корыта для водопоя. Длина каждого корыта 1,8 метра, ширина 0,50 метра и глубина 0,50 метра. Каждое последующее корыто размещено ниже предыдущего, и вода поступает в виде каскада в нижние части земель.
Результаты:
Финансово-экономические: Скот набирает живой вес быстрее.
Технические: Улучшилась водообеспеченность территории, в том числе для скота. |
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:
Сбор воды в одно место практиковался с древних времен, но он со временем был забыт. Восстановление традиционного опыта следует приветствовать.
Рекомендации:
Нужно продолжать такие мероприятия, так как такие практики выгодны не только местному населению, но они обеспечивают водой и диких животных, а также увеличивают пастбищные сенокосные площади. |
