Project and Background: The Government of Afghanistan (GoA) through the Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) is implementing the Irrigation Restoration and Development Project (IRDP) with assistance from the World Bank (WB). The project became effective on June 15, 2011, and the current closing date is December 31, 2017. The IRDP will be restructured with the additional financing of US$70 million in June 2016 with an extension of the closing date to December 31, 2019. Accordingly, this Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) replaces the original ESMF dated January 5, 2011 reflecting the new activities planned under the proposed restructuring and additional financing of the IRDP (IRDP-AF or AF). With the restructuring, project development objective of the IRDP-AF has been revised as follows: “to improve access to irrigation in targeted areas, strengthen the capacity to plan and manage dams more safely, and to plan and implement water resources management and development at the basin-level and nationally”. 2. Project components: The IRDP-AF activities will be carried out through the following 4 components: (a) Component A. – Rehabilitation of Irrigation Systems and River Bank Protection (Original: US$70 million, Proposed: US$128 million), (b) Component B. – Support for Dam Development, Operation and Maintenance. (Original: US$31.3 million, Proposed: US$21.3 million), (c) Component C - Water Resources Management and Development (Original: US$8.2 million, Proposed: US$30.2 million) comprising the following two subcomponents: (i) Improvement of Hydromet Services and WRM (USD 23.2 million), and (ii) Support for Developing Legal and Institutional Framework for WRM and Strengthening River Basin Planning (USD 7.0 million), and (d) Component D. – Project Management and Capacity Building (Original: US$39.2 million, no change). 3. Potential environmental and social impacts of the Project under IRDP-AF: The original project is classified as Category A, primarily because of the planned construction of the dams under Component B; proposed restructuring and IRDP-AF will formally drop the construction of the new dams, and focus on the completion of the preparation works, including environmental and social impacts assessments and detailed design. In addition, the proposed restructuring and IRDP-AF will support the following physical investments: (a) continued rehabilitation works for priority irrigation schemes (Component A), (b) river erosion works (Component A), (c) minor repair works for selected existing dams (Component B), and (d) repair and establishment of hydromet data collection stations. It should be noted that these physical investments are in general of small scale and would be considered to belong to Category B. The Category A was maintained because of the continued engagement for preparation for the new dams. 4. In this sense, overall environmental and social impacts of the IRDP-AF will be positive while some minor investment-specific negative impacts may be incurred. In particular, rehabilitation works for irrigation schemes (Component A) will lead to the increase in agriculture production and subsequent increase in income in direct stakeholders. Further, the rehabilitaion works will benefit environmentally as they will increase efficiency and effectiveness of water services. Erosion protection works at river banks will improve land and slope stability of the rivers in the target areas and reduce turbidity of the rivers as well as protect the livelihood of the concerned stakehoders. Completion of the remedials works in selected dams (Component B) will strengthen stability and safety of the target dams and reduce the risk of ultimate dam failure which would cause catastrophic damages to the population. 42 5. On the negative side, rehabilitation works for the irrigation schemes and river bank protection may require some land appropriation, including the temporary occupacy of the working spaces. However, such negative impacts will be moderate, locallized, temporary, and can be mitigated through the application of an Environmental Codes of Practice (ECOP) which will be incorporated into bidding and contract documents with close supervision and monitoring. Minor land acquisition may be required for rehabilitation of irrigation canals and river bank erosion protection works (Component A) and in such cases, the

At the centre of SLRC’s research are three core themes, developed over the course of an intensive one- year inception phase: . State legitimacy: experiences, perceptions and expectations of the state and local governance in conflict-affected situations . State capacity: building effective states that deliver services and social protection in conflict- affected situations . Livelihood trajectories and economic activity under conflict The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the lead organisation. SLRC partners include the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, Feinstein International Center (FIC, Tufts University), Focus1000 in Sierra Leone, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),

  • Part III Description of River Basins
    PART III DESCRIPTION OF RIVER BASINS Picture 38 Two different worlds separated by only a river; on the right bank of the Murghab river, ‘kuchi’ nomad tents in Afghanistan, on the left bank, a cooperative in Turkmenistan. Water is largely unused on the Afghan side. Murichak, Bala Murghab, 21 May 2003 (N35.72, E, 63.19, NW) 62 I. MAPS AND STATISTICS BY RIVER BASIN The map 8 shows the boundaries of the five River Basins delineated for Afghanistan: 1. The Amu Darya River Basin 2. The Northern River Basin 3. The Harirod-Murghab River Basin 4. The Hilmand River Basin 5. The Kabul (Indus) River Basin For each river basin, source of water, transboundaries riparian issues, natural resources, protected areas, land cover, type of agriculture, hydrological infrastructures (dams) and main historical development along water sources are summarized and whenever possible illustrated with pictures. The tables 8, 9 and 10 present statistics on area, population and the main land cover features by river basin. The graph 9 shows that the largest of these 5 basins is the Hilmand basin as it covers alone 43% of the national territory. The other 4 basins have similar size and represent 10 to 14% of the country. In additions to these river basins, there are 4 none drainage areas, namely Namaksar, Registan-i Sedi, Registan and Dasth-i Shortepa. The graph on Map 8 shows that 57% of the total river flow in Afghanistan originates from the Amu Darya River Basin. The Kabul (Indus) and Hilmand River Basins contributes respectively to 26 and 11% of the total water flow.
