INTRODUCTION This Environmental assessment (EA) and Environmental management and monitoring plan (EMMP) has been prepared for the proposed Water users association development support project (WUAP), to be co-financed by the Government of Azerbaijan (GoA) and the World Bank, in order to ensure that the project (i) incorporates sound environmental and social management principles and practices and (ii) fully complies with all GoA environmental requirements and with applicable World Bank environmental safeguard policies. 1.1 Background The WUAP will be the World Bank’s third project in the irrigation and drainage sector in Azerbaijan and is a direct follow-up to the existing Irrigation Distribution System and Management Improvement Project (IDSMIP), which became effective in 2003 and is scheduled to close in September 2010. The objective of the IDSMIP was to improve irrigation water management by providing support to (i) development of Azerbaijan’s emerging water users’ associations (WUAs) and. the Amelioration and Irrigation Open Joint Stock Company (AIOJSC) and (ii) selective rehabilitation and improvement of associated on-farm irrigation and drainage infrastructure. The infrastructure improvements were made, for the most part, on a demand- driven basis on farms that met certain eligibility criteria within the eleven project area raions (i.e. Aghjabedi, Beylagan, Geranboy, Imishli, Khachmaz, Quba, Saatli, Sabirabad, and Zardab in Azerbaijan; Babek and Sharur in the Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan (ARN)). The project had three components: (1) Development of WUAs, (2) Irrigation and Drainage Infrastructure Rehabilitation, and (3) Project Management, which were implemented by a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) under the AIOJSC. As the positive results of the IDSMIP and the benefits to the rural economy and population became apparent, the GoA requested support from the World Bank for a larger-scale follow-up project. This proposed WUAP will build on the success of the IDSMIP and will have the same core components as the IDSMIP (i.e. WUA development and infrastructure rehabilitation), but it will extend the geographical coverage to an additional 16 raions (depending on project component), bringing the total to 27 raions covered by the project. Map 1 shows the 27 raions that comprise the project area for the WUAP. The on-farm irrigation and drainage infrastructure improvements will continue to be made on a demand-driven basis on farms that meet the eligibility criteria. A limited amount of off-farm infrastructure improvements will be undertaken as necessary to ensure effective delivery of water to the rehabilitated on-farm systems. The proposed project will be implemented by the same IDSMIP PIU under the AIOJSC. The PIU comprises a number of construction engineers who oversee the irrigation and drainage infrastructure improvements and includes an environmental specialist who oversees the environmental management plan and environmental monitoring programme established by the EA and EMMP for the IDSMIP. A more detailed description of the proposed project can be found below (see Section 4.1). 6 Map 1. Project Raions 1.2 Objective The objective of this EA (Sections 1-5 of the document) is to identify the significant environmental and social impacts of the proposed project (both positive and negative) and to specify appropriate preventive actions and mitigation measures (including monitoring) to prevent, eliminate or minimise any anticipated adverse impacts. The EMMP (Section 6 of the document) is the mechanism that ensures that the environmental prevention and mitigation measures identified, the screening and review process proposed, and the capacity-building and monitoring activities recommended will be properly undertaken during implementation of the proposed project. The EMMP also establishes the necessary institutional arrangements and proposes an implementation schedule for undertaking these EMMP activities, indicating their costs in the proposed project budget. This EA and EMMP build on the comprehensive EA and EMMP prepared for the IDSMIP, since the WUAP’s overall approach and basic project interventions will be the same. The EA has been updated, however, to reflect the particular environmental and socio-economic characteristics of the new project raions; the EMMP has been modified to reflect lessons learned during implementation of the IDSMIP. 1.3 World Bank safeguard policies The World Bank’s Integrated Safeguard Data Sheet for the WUAP classified it as a Category “B” project (requiring partial assessment), triggering the Bank’s safeguard policies for environmental assessment, pest management, involuntary resettlement, projects on international waterways, and safety of dams. The EA confirmed the Category “B” designation for the proposed project, finding no significant, irreversible, cumulative or long-term adverse impacts. In fact, the EA identified a number of positive impacts of the proposed project and negative impacts that could be effectively prevented or reduced through application of appropriate preventive actions or mitigation measures (see discussion of impacts in Section 5.). The EA also confirmed the application of the five specified safeguard policies to the WUAP. Four of the five policies are discussed below; the policy on involuntary resettlement has been dealt with separately. The EA also reviewed application of the Bank’s safeguard policy for natural habitats to the project. The EA determined that the project, as currently proposed, does not trigger any of the remaining safeguard policies involving forests, physical cultural resources, indigenous peoples, or projects in disputed areas. 1.3.1 Environmental assessment (OP1 4.01, BP2 4.01, GP3 4.01). The anticipated environmental and social impacts of the irrigation and drainage rehabilitation component of the proposed project trigger this safeguard policy. Because the anticipated adverse impacts will not

Features, Nature and Economic Conditions of Azerbaijan Aliyev Zakir Huseyn Oqlu* Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry NAS Azerbayijan, Azerbayijan *Corresponding author: Aliyev Zakir Hussein Oglu, Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry NAS Azerbayijan, Azerbayijan. Email: [email protected] Citation: Oglu AZH (2018) Features, Nature and Economic Conditions of Azerbaijan. Open Acc J Agri Res: OAJAR-100003. Received Date: 23 August, 2018; Accepted Date: 10 September, 2018; Published Date: 10 October, 2018 Abstract Natural and economic conditions in Azerbaijan are very complex and peculiar. Up to 60% of the entire territory of Azerbaijan is occupied by mountain and foothill zones, the remaining part are (42.8%) plains and lowlands. High mountains, intermountain depressions, valleys, volcanic highlands, which were formed during the geological epoch, cover the territory of the republic. On a relatively small territory of the republic, there is a whole complex of deposits. The features of the geological structure and the available material on the tectonics of the whole territory of the republic make it possible to restore the history of the development of its relief from the early geological epochs. In the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, the geological history of relief development can be traced from the Upper Jurassic, in Talysh from the beginning of the Paleogene, in the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic from the Paleozoic, which is confirmed by the investigations of B.A. Antonova, B.A. Budagova at the beginning of the Oligocene, early Miocene tectonic processes are intensified and as a result, in all folded surfaces, an increase in land occurs.

  • Studies on the Development of the Erosion of Sloping Lands in Azerbaijan
    Acta Scientific Agriculture (ISSN: 2581-365X) Volume 2 Issue 3 March 2018 Review Article Studies on the Development of the Erosion of Sloping Lands in Azerbaijan Aliyev Zakir Huseyn Oglu* Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry of ANAS, Baku, Azerbaijan *Corresponding Author: Aliyev Zakir Huseyn Oglu, Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry of ANAS, Baku, Azerbaijan. Received: October 07, 2017; Published: February 23, 2018 Abstract The article examines the issues of the possibility of studying the areas of development by soil erosion and its control. The study proved that the development of soil erosion is based on the forming impact of natural and anthropogenic factors. The degree of po- tential danger and the possibility of prevention, taking into account the preservation of the environmental situation in the foothills of the Upper Shirvan in the example of the Shemakha district of the Republic of Azerbaijan, were studied. The main objectives of the study here was to determine the amount and degree of development of eroded and erosive dangerous soils of the foothill zones, car- ried out based on soil erosion surveys of the farms of the republic. Keywords: Erosion; Soil; Assessment of the Degree of Erosion Environmentally Hazardous; Anti-Erosion Measures Introduction Object of the Study the Shirvan Mountains zone. The study area is known as a zone Defined in the example of Shemakha district of the foothills of of subtropical crops. The zone consists of lowland and mountain- ous parts. The most favorable conditions for the development of subtropical gardening are found in the low part of the zone. Part of the zone is dry subtropical, winter is mild, without snow and frost, and summers are dry and warm.
