Problem solved through this practice | Low water use efficiency on WUA and farm levels |
Недостаточный уровень объективности при отборе кандидатов, когда наилучший кандидат определяется не по уровню знаний и навыков, а по блату |
Tools used in the practice | 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. |

Description of the practice and its results | 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. |
Мероприятия: Участникам было предложено пройти 2 этапа Олимпиады – письменный и устный. Победители письменного тестирования прошли на участие в устном этапе. Результаты: В результате отбора кандидатов для участия в Региональной Олимпиаде ИУВР и Международной Летней Школе «Методы и средства оценки, моделирования и мониторинг водных и земельных ресурсов Центральной Азии», которая состоится в г.Алматы, выбран наилучший студент. |
Lessons learnt and recommendations made | 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. |
Формально такая соревновательная практика является обычным явлением и при отборе исполнителей в международные и национальные проекты, но фактически добиться объективности удается не всегда. Нередко для участия в проектах берут или по знакомству или по указанию из вышестоящих инстанций. |

Brief information on the project | 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 |
