Problem solved through this practice | Conflicts due to disputes over water resources and pastures |
Ухудшение мелиоративной обстановки: подъем грунтовых вод, засоление земель. |
Tools used in the practice | Repair works to restore irrigation networks and infrastructure |
Техника и технология мелиорации земель системой скважин вертикального дренажа (СВД) |
Description of the practice and its results | Disputes over water resources and pastures can lead to conflicts, in particular among the communities living in border zones in the Fergana Valley. Every year, this urgent issue gains even more relevance as - according to expert forecasts – by 2020 Kyrgyzstan’s population may reach 7 mln 70% of which will live in rural communities. Actions: The project to rehabilitate irrigation canals aimed to improve access to water resources and pastures for local residents. The project also promoted introduction of equal-right practices in the sphere of water resources and pastures management among local population. All project actions targeted the improvement of living conditions of local residents and decreasing tensions. Results: On June 8, 2016, Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) held the ceremonial opening of 5 repaired irrigation canals in Nookat District of Osh Region. Repair works to rehabilitate the irrigation canals were co-funded by Nookat District Water Management Administration, ajyl aimaks (Kyrg. rural local governance bodies) and local residents themselves. Financial and economic:
Environmental: The condition of over 4,000 ha (irrigated land) improved. Technical results: The total length of all repaired irrigation canals exceeded 10,900 meters. Social results:

Lessons learnt and recommendations made | Lessons learnt: Repair and restoration of irrigation infrastructure facilitated the improvement of living conditions among local population, decreased tensions and disputes associated with water and pasture use in border zones of the Fergana Valley, and enhanced farmer welfare. Recommendations: The practice yielded positive outcomes and is recommended for further scaling-up to improve the welfare and ensure sustainable development of mountain communities in border zones. |
Уроки: Этот пример был в свое время очень полезным и своевременным, так как стране очень требовалось повысить урожайность хлопчатника. Практика показала высокую эффективность применения СВД в борьбе с засолением земель. Рекомендации: 1. Создание специального Управления по ремонту и эксплуатации систем СВД.
