The Morava River basin in Serbia covers 12% of Yugoslavia'sarea and contains an estimatedpopulation of 3.6 million. Water-relatedproblems have always thwarted the region's economic development. In the past the main problem was the repeated flooding of agriculturallands. This flooding continues,and as the population is increasinglyurbanized and industrialized(mostly in the river valleys) the flood hazard has increased. At the same time problems of urban water supply and water pollution have grown enormously. ii. Serbian water planners began focussing on such problems basin-wide in 1958 and by 1965 had produced a master plan for the regulation of the Morava River flows. Mechanisms were created to generate funds and build structures to implement this plan, but the results of the programs of the first ten years have been disappointing. It is now appreciated that water resource planning must be improved by revising the economic methodology and by broadening the planning objectives so that physical systems to control flows are not the only programs considered. At the same time the institutionalarrangements for man- aging water resourcesare being substantiallyaltered in accordancewith Yugoslavia's 1974 constitutionand the principle of decentralizeddecision- making. Under creation now is the Morava Region Water Communityof Interest, a socio-politicalbody with the mandate to manage the water resources for the benefit of the region. iii. The proposed project is fairly complex because it is intended to support Serbian initiativesto improve the planning and management of water re- sources in the Morava region, while also helping to provide badly needed water and wastewater facilities for two small, industrializedtowns. The research component includes three action-orientedstudies (adjustmentsto flood hazards, water quality improvementand regional development)plus two irrigationpilot projects to demonstrate the effectivenessof low cost supplementaryirrigation. The water supply and wastewater systems will be substantiallyimproved in the towns of Titovo Uzice and Cacak, where industrialwater demands exceed those for domestic use and where the number of people to be served will increase by 70% during the project period. iv. The project costs are estimated to total US$51.4 million equivalent, with an estimated foreign exchange component of US$16.2 million. Interest dur- ing constructionon the proposed Bank loan of US$20.0 million would add a fur- ther US$4.5 million in foreign exchange costs. Thus, the proposed loan would be equivalent to 97% of the project's foreign exchange requirementsincluding - ii - the interest during construction. The various components of the project would be implemented by six different beneficiaries. The Serbian Water Fund would be the borrower and would onlend portions of the Bank loan on Bank terms to all other beneficiaries. All remaining project financing would be provided by the various beneficiaries. v. Some 91% of the project expenditures relate to expansions of the water supply, wastewater and stormwater systems in Titovo Uzice and Cacak, which are expected to be constructed during the period 1976-1979. vi. All procurement would be in accordance with the Bank's Guidelines. Advance contracting on certain critical elements of the
