1.2.2 COMPONENT: 3. NATIONAL DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTCAPACITY IMPROVED
1.2.2.1 PROCUREMENT OF HEAVY MACHINERY FOR THE MINISTRY OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC
Regulation on Technical Coordination Council (TCC) was elaborated and approved by order no. 189 of MoES of the KR as of February 28, 2020 for high-quality and efficient implementation of output 3 under the Climate Change and Disaster-Resilient Water Resources Sector Project. By the same order were established technical coordination councils of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic for procurement of heavy machinery and construction of gauging stations and procurement of equipment for gauging stations. In accordance with the Regulation on TCC MoES of the KR will provide performance of activities and regulation of work of subdivisions and staff of MoES of the KR on appropriate direction of project, preparation and approval of technical specifications, terms of references, evaluation of technical proposals from providers of goods and services. Market research (price monitoring) for supply of heavy machinery was done, on basis of which the average price for each type of machinery was identified. Heavy machinery price monitoring was conducted among official dealers (distributors) in the Kyrgyz Republic such companies as Komatsu, Doosan, Hyundai, Howo, Shantui, XCMG, etc. The technical coordination council of MoES of KR for procurement of engineer machinery specified the demands in heavy machinery according to the average price monitoring. Besides that the main criterion under specification of the demand was efficiency of machinery’s use for
7 preventive and emergency-recovery operations, in connection with this some types of machinery were excluded. The specified demand for heavy machinery makes 80 units. The price is the basic reason of decreased number of machineries. The initial need in machinery was drafted in 2017 during project preparation, approximate prices for machinery were considerably lower, than the results of held monitoring. The specified demand for machinery is approved by the Minister of Emergency Situations of the KR. (Appendix 5). Additionally, meetings of TCC of MoES of KR for procurement of heavy machinery were held, where technical specifications for machinery and bid documents were considered and approved. The bid documents were submitted to ADB for approval. Due to coronavirus situation there are such risks as conducting later tendering process, than it is planned as well as participation of fewer bidders. In order to identify approximate amount of financial funds required for customs clearance of machinery, the work was carried out with Customs service under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic. Due to the calculations made US$ 1 700 thousand is required for taxes and customs duties. Herein the main problematic issue on procurement of heavy machinery is allocation of co- financing of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic for customs duties.
1.2.2.2 CONSTRUCTION OF GAUGING STATIONS AND PROCUREMENT OF EQUIPMENT FOR GAUGING STATIONS
In January the PIU had meetings with PIC hydromet consultant, specialists of MoES of KR and Kyrgyzhydromet under MoES of KR, where issues of implementation of subcomponent “Construction of gauging stations and their equipping” were discussed, in particular creation of early mudflow warning system. Also were arranged secure and emergency response hydrologic units of Kyrgyzhydromet under MoES, testing laboratory and 3 acting gauging stations in Chui oblast. In January 2020 together with specialists from Agency for hydrometeorology under MoES of KR (further Kyrgyzhydromet) the preliminary list of gauging stations for rehabilitation was revised and it was decided to make inventory of all observation stations of Batken, Jalal-Abad, Osh oblasts and Chui river basin. In January the inventory survey of gauging stations on Chui basin was carried out by PIU and TCC on Hydromet, as a result 8 gauging stations were selected with associated works within the project. During period from 9 till 18 March, 2020 the inventory survey of about 45 existing and closed gauging and meteorological stations of Batken, Jalal-Abad and Osh oblasts was conducted to select gauging stations to be rehabilitated and renovated. During inventory survey meetings were tentatively held with heads and responsible persons of aiyl okmotu on land acquisition for gauging stations. Currently land acquisition activities have been started by PIU and Kyrgyzhydromet for construction of gauging stations. The outcomes of inventory survey and list of selected gauging stations for rehabilitation and renovation are in Appendix 6. 8 1.2.2.3 EXPECTED ACTIVITIES:
1. Bid announcement for heavy machinery, 2. Evaluation of technical proposals of bidders, 3. Cooperation with Agency for hydrometeorology under MoES of the KR on land acquisition for construction of gauging stations, 4. Development of terms of references for design institutes on development of design estimate documentation for construction of gauging stations.

The project implementation consultant (PIC) in quarterly report suggests «to discuss a range of revisions to facilitate measurement of indicators of interim and final outcomes». These discussions will be undertaken in next quarter. Also, PIC consultants suggest to present project outcomes to use programs of geographic information systems (GIS) from open access such as QGIS. GIS programs and satellite data can be used for comparison of vegetation indexes and water stress of agricultural crops under output 2 and in early flood warning systems, inventory survey and management of assets of Southern and Northern emergency response centers under output 3.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SAFEGUARDS ACTIVITIES (RESETTLEMENT)
For reporting period safeguards activities covered mainly review of project conceptual materials and documents, training of PIU experts in environmental and social issues, as well as preparation of ecological and social documents to be used in the project. The PIU safeguards specialist proceeded to his duties on January 8, 2020. During the period from 16 till 31 January 2020 Mr. Saban Cimen, the environmental and social coordinator (ESC) of the PIC, visited Bishkek with the team of PIC experts. In course of this working mission the next activities were carried out: 1.3 Activity schedule
An activity schedule grouped by outputs in accordance with PAM and PIC ToR requirements was prepared jointly by PIC ESC and PIC local social expert (LSE), afterwards discussed item by item together with PIU safeguards specialist.
10 1.4 Review of project documents
Multiple project documents were reviewed during the inception period. The PIC prepared and submitted a review note for Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of subproject Pravaya Vetka.
1.5 Training
Training on ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement was given by the PIC ESC for the PIU. Besides, the PIU safeguards specialist and hydromet specialist took part in two-day working seminar arranged by ADB to introduce to legal aspects of SPS ADB and experience exchange in grievance redress mechanism application practice.
1.6 Grievance redress mechanism (GRM)
The GRM proposed for Pravaya Vetka in IEE was reviewed and updated to clarify the responsibility of the Local Focal Point (LFP) and emphasize the role of contractors. The grievance redress mechanism was proposed in EMP, which has the same scheme that has LARP for subproject Pravaya Vetka. The procedure flowchat was also updated accordingly.
1.7 Selection of subprojects (screening)
1.7.1 Environmental screening
For candidate subprojects to be selected for further investment, they shall comply with requirements of category B or C in accordance with ADB SPS. The PIC together with PIU developed environmental screening check-list to help define the category for each candidate subproject. The check-list was developed based on ADB’s Environmental Assessment and Review Framework but adapted for local conditions. The subprojects relating to category А (able to cause considerable unfavorable ecologic consequences, which are imminent, diverse or unprecedented in environmental impact) were excluded at initial stage from the list of candidate subprojects. Further, this adapted check-list was applied to assess subprojects from the short list preliminarily compiled at the inception stage. The assessment was carried out by engineers of RDWR of Nookat rayon in Osh oblast, Kadamjai rayon in Batken oblast and Chui rayon in Chui oblast. As selected subprojects do not have substantial potential impact on environment, they are not located in ecologically protected rayons, the supposed works will be mainly small-scale and will consist of modernization of existing schemes and will be identic to pilot subproject Pravaya Vetka, that confirms minimal environmental impact, all of them according to the tentative assessment belong to category В. Note: description of selected subprojects under output 1 is in appendix 2.
11 1.7.2 Selection of subprojects (screening) based on potential impact of resettlement and land acquisition (LAR
According to the selection criterion, «… Next subprojects should not have right for participation and be included into project structure: … and v) require land acquisition for construction of new canals… and vi) subprojects of category А for land acquisition and involuntary resettlement in accordance with requirements of Safeguard Policy Statement of ADB». The construction works on suggested subprojects which are connected with rehabilitation of water facilities, to a greater extent will be carried out within existing infrastructure of canals. Nevertheless, all the selected subprojects will be inspected by PIU for impacts of land acquisition and resettlement, and when needed land acquisition and resettlement plan (LARP)will be prepared in compliance with Safeguard Policy Statement of ADB (2009).
1.8 Gender and social issues
The PIC developed and submitted to PIU « Integrated, Participatory and Gender Responsive Step-by-Step Approach for Subproject Implementation » with indication of key milestones, expected deliverables, responsible parties and estimated terms of performance. However, in connection with quarantine regime due to coronavirus, the time schedule will be revised and corrected.
1.9 Safeguards requirements for construction bid documents
The PIC prepared a list of regulations on environmental and social protection, which must be included into Technical Specifications and other construction bid documents. These items comply with requirements of IEE and EMP of Pravaya Vetka.
1.10 Subproject site visit
The first joint site visits of PIU and PIC to subprojects of southern region took place on 24 - 28 February of 2020. The goal of this field trip was introduction with subprojects: 1. Pravaya Vetka, Bazar-Korgon rayon, Jalal-Abad oblast,
2. Saparbaev 1 and 2, Nookat rayon, Osh oblast,
3. Kozho-Kaiyr, Kadamjai rayon, Batken oblast.
The visit to the scheme Pravaya Vetka started from headworks with subsequent driving round along the canal extension. At the headworks meeting was arranged with the head and chief engineer of Jalal-Abad BDWR. The assignment was given to start DED development for the subproject, as it was selected at the inception stage
12 The trip to the scheme Kojo-Kaiyr started from the headworks as well. Afterwards, the team of specialists of PIU and PIC accompanied by workers of Kadamjai RDWR visited the scheme Kojo-Kaiyr. The assignment was given to commence feasibility study (FS) for this subproject. The joint team PIU and PIC together with workers of Nookat RDWR started their visit to the scheme Saparbaev from the headworks with further driving round along the canal extension to survey canals Saparbaev 1 and Saparbaev 2. Based on outcomes of inspection the assignment was given to start FS for this subproject. As far as the goal of this trip was not detailed study of resettlement issues, initial environmental examination (IEE), as well as social and gender issues, so relevant meetings with extensive involvement of communities and other stakeholders were not arranged. These issues will be studied in process of development of FS and DED.

19 2. APPENDIX. SUBPROJECT SELECTION DESCRIPTION, SELECTION OF DESIGN COMPANY AND FIELD SURVEYS OUTCOMES
2.1. SUBPROJECT SELECTION DESCRIPTION
From beginning of its activity, the PIU held analysis of proposed by the Executive Agency subprojects for compliance with ADB criteria and considered opinions expressed by deputies of the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic about that all three southern oblasts of the country are vulnerable to disasters. As result of held analysis, subject to opinions received from oblast and rayon state administrations, oblast and rayon subdivisions of SAWR, deputies of the Parliament presenting various regions of oblasts, the Executive Agency recommended to study about 15 schemes (subprojects) located in Jalal-Abad, Osh, Batken and Chui oblasts.
Related to vulnerability it is possible to consider and include almost all proposed in the long list canals to be modernized and rehabilitated due to sufficient factors of disaster risk and they were most exposed to repair-reconstructive works during last years because of floods, and the efficiency of off- farm canals because of destructive factors from consequences of mudflows, landslide processes, erosions and different destructions have been reduced from 80% till 35-40%.
From beginning of its activity, the PIU held analysis of the proposed by Executive Agency subprojects for compliance with ADB criteria. At stage of project preparation, the ADB consultants considered proposed subprojects and as a result the feasibility study was prepared, and one subproject was selected which is located in Jalal-Abad oblast -canal Pravaya Vetka in Nooken rayon. The PIU, PIC considering the opinion of the Executive agency, based on the criteria identified in the PAM, preliminarily selected three more subprojects: 1. Canal Saparbaev 1 and 2 in Nookat rayon, Osh oblast; 2. Canal Kojo-Kaiyr in Kadamjai rayon, Batken oblast; 3. Canal Osmon in Chui rayon, Chui oblast.
Having studied in detail the proposed subprojects for compliance with the selection criteria specified by ADB, the following is noted: in all considered subprojects to be included in the project, water supply systems operate without pump stations and land acquisition is not planned. Concerning environmental and social safeguards these sites tentatively correspond to B category. According to the Aide Memoire of ADB as of 7 February, 2020 at this stage the data and feasibility study on three additional subprojects are required to submit request to proceed to the detailed design for Pravaya Vetka and three additional subprojects. In compliance with this Aide Memoire the economic analysis maybe be approximate based on expert judgment of available information.
The proposed subprojects for approval are located in similar natural, relief, climatic, soil, agricultural conditions as subproject Pravaya Vetka. The yield and price indicators of agricultural crops are also similar. Taking this into account we can make preliminary conclusion that economic internal norm of profit will be almost same as in subproject Pravaya Vetka (more than 9%).
20 2.2. SELECTION OF SAPARBAEV CANAL, IN OSH OBLAST FOUR OFF-FARM CANALS WERE PROPOSED IN THE SHORT LIST FROM THE EXECUTIVE AGENCY.
The canal Saparbaev was selected from this list due to the following criteria:
1. Canal Saparbaev complies with all selection criteria required by ADB. 2. Canal Saparbaev from the proposed by SAWR schemes (sites) is the most vulnerable to climate change and disasters, as the canal passes along the mountain slope and has on its route numerous mudflow check structures and mudflow storage reservoirs being in unsatisfactory condition.
2.3. SELECTION OF KOJO-KAIYR CANAL, TWO OFF-FARM CANALS WERE PROPOSED IN THE SHORT LIST FROM SAWR FOR BATKEN OBLAST.
The Kojo-Kaiyr canal was selected from list due to the following criteria:
1. Taking into consideration the fact that at the inception stage specialists of the consulting company hired by ADB for project rejected canal Kulunda, so in Batken oblast only Kojo- Kaiyr canal remained in the list proposed by SAWR (DWR). The Kojo-Kaiyr canal complies with all selection criteria indicated in the PAM. 2. The Kojo-Kaiyr canal is vulnerable to climate change and disasters, because the canal passes along the mountain slope and has on its route numerous mudflow check structures and exposed to filtration.
2.4. SELECTION OF ОSMON CANAL, IN CHUI OBLAST FIVE OFF-FARMSMON CANAL,INCHUIOBLASTFIVEOFF-FARM CANALS WERE PROPOSED IN THE SHORT LIST BY SAWR.
From this list canal Osmon was selected due to following criteria:
1. Оsmon canal complies with all selection criteria required by ADB. The Оsmon canal is the most vulnerable to climate change and disasters as the canal meets two river sections and doesn’t have mudflow crossing structures, in connection with that canal doesn’t have possibility to provide water users in full volume with irrigation water in vegetation period.
2.5. INFORMATION ON OFF-FARM CANAL SAPARBAEV (NOOKAT RAYON IN OSH OBLAST).
The Saparbayev canal is divided into two parts, the first part from PК0 00 to PK 84 52 is Saparbayev-1 and across the Abshyr-Sai river the canal is called Saparbayev-2. The Saparbayev-1 canal was commissioned in 1972 and starts from the main canal Naiman. The extension of the canal is 8.45 km; the type of lining is monolithic concrete with trapezoidal cross section. Its design capacity is 8.0 m3/s, and its actual capacity is 6.4 m3/s due to sedimentary areas of the canal. The Saparbayev-1 canal provides with irrigation water the WUA Abshyr-Tany with a service area of 2,333 hectares on the territory of Kok-Jar aiyl okmotu. The Saparbayev-2 canal was commissioned in 1982 and is fueled by the Saparbayev-1 canal and the Abshyr-Sai river through the Teshik-Tash headsworks. The extension of the canal is 20.44 km. Type 21 of lining: 1.6 km of the canal is from Г-shaped blocks with rectangular cross section, 13.0 km part of the canal is from monolithic concrete with trapezoidal cross section, and its tray part has 5.84 km extension. The canal design capacity is 5.0 m3/s and its actual capacity is 3.2 m3/s. The Saparbayev- 2 canal provides with irrigation water two WUAs: Moltur-Suu with a service area of 1200 hectares and Toolos- Nookat with a service area of 2,075 hectares on the territory of two local self- governments (LSGs) On- Eki -Bel and Toolos. Due to the fact that canal design capacity has decreased to 5 - 3,2 m3/sec the water users of the above-mentioned local self-governments, who are in the most end part, have very big problems with irrigation water delivery at the height of crop season. There are disputes and differences between water users of two LSGs (aiyl okmotu) due to lack of irrigation water. During the growing period, water practically does not reach the irrigated areas of the above-mentioned local self-governments. The Saparbaiev canal is located on the territory of Nookat rayon in Osh oblast and belongs to the basin of the Syr-Darya river. The distance from Osh is 60 km. This canal provides an area of 5 608 hectares with irrigation water and does not belong to cross-country transboundary irrigation systems. The canal efficiency is 0.65. On the canal there are 10 mudflow storage reservoirs and 14 mudflow check structures, more than 7.2 km of sides of the canal on the left downstream are destroyed that leads to an increase in water loss. From April to June due to rains and hails, the canal is filled with sludge and stones, so mechanized cleaning is carried out on the canal every year. Major renovation works were not carried out on the Saparbaiev canal during many years’ service of the canal between 1994 -2018. Minor recovery works are done with the assistance of non-governmental organizations, and these activities are not effective enough. The population is growing, need for irrigation water is increasing, so major repair and rehabilitation works of this facility are urgent to be conducted for efficient use of irrigation water. Due to its vulnerability to natural disasters, Saparbaiev canal was included in the list of subprojects.
2.6. INFORMATION ON OFF-FARM CANAL KOJO-KAIYR (KADAMJAI RAYON IN BATKEN OBLAST).
The main canal Kojo-Kaiyr is located on the territory of Kadamzhai rayon in Batken oblast and belongs to the basin of the Syr-Darya river. The distance from Osh to the site is 130 km. The canal was commissioned in 1965, it takes in water from the Isfairam -Sai river and does not belong to cross-country transboundary irrigation systems. The canal has a trapezoidal cross-section, with 31.0 km extension. The design capacity of the canal is 9.0 m3/s, today its actual capacity is 7.5 m3/s, the efficiency of the canal is 0.65. There are 72 different hydraulic structures on the canal. The allotted irrigation area of the Kojo-Kaiyr main canal is 5669 hectares, it provides with irrigation water three WUAs Kara-Dobo with a service area of 2020 hectares, Isa-Mariam with a service area of 863 hectares and Kojo-Kaiyr with a service area of 2,983 hectares, which are located on the territory of three local self-governments (aiyl okmotu) Masaliev, Maidan and Markaz.
The status of the canal requires capital expenditures, due to the limited financial resources allocated from the state budget for operation and maintenance, renovation of the canal was not fully effective. It is necessary to rehabilitate 14 flume overpasses on the canal to continuously provide water users of three WUAs with irrigation water. Because of this when choosing a subproject in Batken oblast, the preference was given to Kojo-Kaiyr canal, since this canal meets the eligibility criteria for the irrigation systems specified in the PAM.
22 2.7. INFORMATION ON OFF-FARM CANAL OSMON-ARYK (CHUI RAYON IN CHUI OBLAST).
The canal was built in 1937. The extension of the off-farm irrigation canal is 22,6 km, 3.37 km of which are lined, 19.23 km are in an earthen bed. The bottom slop varies from 0.0021 to 0.0076 m. It passes below parallel to Vostochny Bolshoi Chuisky Kanal system. Osmon off-farm canal system provides water users: 1. Iskra LSG with a service area of 1202 ha; 2. Sailyk LSG with a service area of 1781 ha; 3. Chui LSG with a service area of 1458 ha; 4. Аk-Beshim LSG with a service area of 1421 ha. The total command area is 5862 ha. Under Osmon canal provides three water user associations: Karagul-Ata with a service area of 1700 ha, Filun with a service area of 556 ha and Ak-Beshim with a service area 1140 ha in three Chui, Iskra and Ak-Beshim LSGs. On the rest part of irrigated area, where is no WUA, the rayon unit of WUA’ support carries out work on establishment of WUA. Osmon off-farm canal performs water withdrawal from Obvodnoi Chuisky Kanal 2 (ОChК-2) with flow rate of 7 m3/s, as well as from Vostochny Bolshoi Chuisky Kanal system (VBChK) with flow rate of 4.5 m3/s (at PC 138 + 40 -1.5 m3/s, at PC 170 +40 - 2 m3/s, at PC 200 +00 - 1 m3/s). The total water diversion to Osmon off-farm canal is 11.5 m3/s. Osmon canal has 22 hydroposts, 11 discharge outlets, 5 road bridges, 2 pipes, 5 division gates, 2 inverted syphons, 2 spillways. Due to long-term operation, as well as annual discharge of sediments during the flood period from the Burana and Kyzyl-Suu rivers, Osmon canal needs to be modernized and rehabilitated. This scheme (facility) was proposed by the Executive Agency, the State Agency of Water Resources under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, to be included in the implementation plan of Climate Change and Disaster-Resilient Water Resources Sector Project. However, during preparation of the first version of the inception report on subproject selection for Osmon canal the water diversion of 7 m3/s was wrongly taken rather than 11.5 m3/s. The control potential of this facility at 5862 hectares will make 1.96 l/s/ha rather than 1.19 l/s/ha, as indicated in the report prepared by the consultants. This indicator was specified in the report for this subproject as not meeting the regulatory criterion of 1.5 l/s/ha, which is not true. We think that this scheme meets the criteria specified in the Project Administration Manual and can be accepted for the development of Feasibility Study.
On all these three subprojects (schemes) sufficient information, linear schemes and maps, including space images have been collected. Annotation of WUAs (that are provided with irrigation water by these off-farm canals) with linear schemes, digital maps, information about agricultural crops and their crop yield, etc. have been collected as well.
2.8. DESIGN COMAPNY SELECTION
It was decided and agreed with ADB to recruit a sub-consultant to prepare design estimate documentation (DED) of the selected subprojects. For this purpose, shopping 23 was carried out among design companies taking into account the criteria developed by the consulting company Temelsu. Four companies Hydroconsult Ltd, Nur SJB Ltd, Geoconsult Ltd and Al-Chin Ltd participated in the competition. As a result of the evaluation of submitted information from bidders the highest score was received by Geoconsult Ltd.
2.9. FIELD SURVEY OUTCOMES
The PIU together with the Consultant (PIC) and Sub-Consultant Geoconsult Ltd arranged a review mission from February 24 to February 28, 2020 to the sites: Pravaya Vetka in Jalal-Abad oblast, Kojo-Kayir in Batken oblast and Saparbaiev in Osh oblast. The main objective of site visit of the PIU and Geoconsult Ltd was to be introduced with technical condition of subprojects, to establish contact between the Sub-Consultant Geoconsult Ltd and operating organizations of irrigation system and to coordinate the schedule of water supply stop with Kadamjai RDWR, Nookat RDWR and Nooken RDWR and to inform representatives of BDWR and RDWR on the commencement and time frame of detailed studies, including topographic surveys prior to the start of the new vegetation season. Composition of the site visit team: 1. Iskender Dzholdoshaliev, PIU chief engineer; 2. Rakhmanaly Masalbekov, PIU agriculture specialist; 3. Kalyibek Zhunusbaev, PIU safeguard specialist; 4. Rustam Madumarov, PIC deputy team leader; 5. Nazgul Sharshenova, PIC gender and social expert; 6. Larisa Utkina, PIC design engineer; 7. Kuvat Isakov, PIC supervision engineer; 8. Zhanybek Orozaly Uulu, PIC supervision consultant
1. Pravaya Vetka canal
Canal Pravaya Vetka is the main subproject that has already been selected during the preparation of the ADB project and on which the Canal Rehabilitation Feasibility Study has already been carried out. The survey was conducted by the head of Jalal-Abad BDWR Abduvaliev T. and the chief engineer of BDWR and Nooken RDWR. The canal Pravaya Vetka was built in 1954. Water is taken into the canal from Karaungursai river by the headworks of dam type. Under the canal Pravaya Vetka there are 14,157 hectares of irrigated land allotted, including 2,580 ha of Bazarkorgon rayon and 11,577 ha of Nooken rayon. The total canal extension is about 20 km. Flow rate in the canal head by passport is 18m3/s. The main water users in the Karaungursai river basin are WUAs, communities with home areas and rural administrations. The Karaungursai river itself is not a transboundary source as its water is not shared with neighboring states. However, this river is a tributary of the cross-border Syrdarya river.
24 The Karaungursai river water is shared between neighboring rayons, namely between Bazarkorgon and Nooken, according to the water use plans developed by RDWR and agreed with Jalalabad BDWR. This basin is experiencing extensive irrigation development with full water intake during the vegetation period. In the region water shortages often occur on all irrigated lands regardless of water supply sources. The proposed rehabilitation works on the canal Pravaya Vetka with structures are defined during the ADB Technical Support phase. Representatives of the Jalal-Abad BDWR and Nooken RDWR were involved during this period. As a result of these works a feasibility study has been drawn up, which includes priority rehabilitation activities, but to date the representatives of BDWR and RDWR have proposals to include some more structures on this canal and headworks.

2. Kojo-Kaiyr canal
The canal Kojo-Kaiyr is located on the territory of Kadamzhai rayon in Batken oblast. The canal was commissioned in 1965, it takes in water from the Isfairam -Sai river to supply WUAs on the west bank. It does not belong to cross-country transboundary irrigation systems. The main parameters of Kojo-Kaiyr: 1. total canal extension - 31 km, 2. irrigated area - 5669 ha, 3. canal extension in concrete lining - 13 km, 4. design capacity - 9,0 m3/s, 5. actual capacity - 7,5 m3/s.
On the allotted area of Kojo-Kaiyr canal there are three WUAs: Kara-Dobo - 2020 ha, Isa-Mariam - 863 ha, Коjo-Kaiyr - 2983 ha. The head of the Kadamjai RDWR and the head of the Kojo-Kaiyr section participated in the survey. The main problem of the canal is poor condition of mudflow check structures, which prevents normal operation of the canal. There are 14 mudflow check structures on the canal, requiring rehabilitation works. Another problem is poor condition of the canal lining, which increases filtration loss and reduces the canal capacity.

30 3. Saparbaev canal
The Saparbaev canal is located in Nookat rayon, Osh oblast, approximately 60 km to south-west of Osh city. The canal consists of two parts. The first part is Saparbaev-1, across the Abshyr-Sai river the canal is called Saparbayev-2. Both canals do not relate to transboundary systems The Saparbayev-1 canal was commissioned in 1972 and starts from the main canal Naiman, located to the east from the scheme. The canal provides with irrigation water the WUA "Abshyr-Tany" with a service area of 2,333 ha. The main parameters of Saparbaev-1 canal: 1. total canal extension - 8,45km, 2. service area - 2333ha, 3. canal extension in concrete lining - 8,45km, 4. design capacity - 8,0m3/s, 5. actual capacity - 6,4m3/s. From the left mountain side of the canal Saparbaev-1 there are thirteen mudflow storage reservoirs, nine of which control particularly dangerous mudslides during floods, but they are in poor condition. In addition, in 2008 as a result of mud flood the canal on the PК80 96 was destroyed, and since then irrigation water has been supplied through a temporary water pipeline in a limited amount. Major renovation works were not carried out on the Saparbaev canal in the period of 1994 -2018. Minor recovery works have been done with the assistance of non-governmental organizations, and these activities are not effective enough.
The Saparbayev-2 canal was commissioned in 1982, and it is fueled by the Saparbayev-1 canal and the Abshyr-Sai river through the Teshik-Tash headsworks. The main parameters of Saparbaev-2: 1. total canal extension - 20,44km, 2. service area - 3275ha, 3. canal extension in concreter lining (Г-blocks) - 1,6km, 4. canal extension in monolithic concrete lining with trapezoidal cross section - 13,0km, 5. canal extension in trays - 5,84k, 6. design capacity - 5,0m3/s, 7. actual capacity - 3,2m3/s. The canal Saparbayev-2 provides with irrigation water two WUAs: - Moltur-Suu - 1200 ha. - Тооlos-Nookat -2075 ha. At a length of about 10 km the lining of the left slope of the canal Saparbaev-2 is severely damaged, which increases filtration losses and reduces canal capacity. In addition, the canal capacity is greatly reduced between April and June due to severe silting of the canal behind the water intake from Abshir-Sai river due to small slope of the canal. There are seven mudflow check structures on Saparbaev-2 canal, six of which are often blocked throughout the year. Limited water supply to water users at the peak of vegetation season in the final part of Saparbaev-2 canal often causes disputes between two WUAs mentioned above. The survey of the canal was carried out with participation of the head of Nookat RDWR.

Much work has been done on the selected subprojects for component 2 to collect information on water users who receive irrigation water from tertiary and quaternary canals. Community mobilization and capacity-building for the WUAs shall be provided by the Project under canal works to achieve intermediate outputs 1 and 2.
Under Pravaya Vetka there are 8 WUAs:

7 Sakaldy-Suu 972 2015 WB
8 Kenesh-Suu 2159 2007 WB
Total: 13049
As it can be seen from the table the irrigated area makes up about 13 000 ha, according to PAM it is necessary to create seven CDTs on this area. All WUAs except WUA Aikol-Suu received funds from World Bank projects in different years for rehabilitation of their on-farm tertiary and quaternary canals. But due to limited funds from WB (US $320 per 1 ha.) not all WUAs’ canals have been rehabilitated, there are still many problems with on-farm canals. 200 subprojects are envisaged for rehabilitation of tertiary and quaternary canals, if they are conditionally divided into 4 subprojects (Pravaya Vetka, Saparbayev, Kojo-Kaiyr and Osmon-Aryk), then each subproject for rehabilitation of tertiary and quaternary canals will have about 50 small subprojects. It considerably increases small contracts management risks, for example, under Pravaya Vetka there will be 50 small subprojects for 8 WUAs, each WUA will have to manage 6 or 7 small subprojects. It should be noted that only WUA has a legal status to operate on-farm tertiary and quaternary canals and to make contracts as well. On this basis instead of 50 small subprojects under Pravaya Vetka it would be advisable to enlarge small sub-projects taking into account the needs of the WUAs and to make small 8 subprojects for rehabilitation of tertiary and quaternary canals.
Under off-farm canals Saparbaev and Kojo-Kaiyr there are 3 WUAs in each:

45 Several meetings of PIU and PIC on the implementation of this subcomponent were held to mobilize communities where they discussed by whom the mobilization would be carried out, number of CDTs (in PAM it is stated that CDTs will be created on the basis of one CDT per 1800 ha) for the optimal work of recruited specialists and community contracts for rehabilitation of tertiary and quaternary canals.
The PIU offered to discuss the following:
1. To consider it appropriate for PIC to act in partnership with a local firm or NGO with expertise in community mobilization and capacity-building of WUAs to achieve intermediate outputs 1 and 2. Terms of recruitment shall be agreed with PIU and Terms of References shall be developed for the mobilization company taking into account PIU recommendations.
2. Contracts at the WUG level shall not be awarded because WUG does not have a legal status. All contracts and agreements shall be concluded at the WUA level.
3. For all selected off-farm canals the main consumers of irrigation water are WUAs, therefore to create GDTs based on one CDT per 3 or 4 WUAs.
4. To consider 10% reduction of concrete works on off-farm canals (primary and secondary) and 15% -on-farm canals (tertiary and quaternary) advisory and preliminary. Final scope of concrete works on subprojects (primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary) shall be determined on the basis of prepared design and estimate documentation.
5. The community contribution in the form of funds or in the form of labor power in the amount of 30% of the total cost of works shall be reduced to 5%. The terms of the community contribution shall be considered after further clarification of the issue.
6. The PIC shall develop manual on demonstration sites and submit PIU and ADB for review.
The PIU and PIC jointly developed ToR for a sub-consulting company to undertake community mobilization and agreed it with ADB. 4. APPENDIX. TABLE OF CONTRACT AWARDS AND DISBURSEMENTS BY YEARS

In January and March 2020 K.I.Djakipova, hydromet specialist of the ADB Climate Change and Disaster-Resilient Water Resources Sector Project, together with the Technical Coordinating Council of MoES KR carried out an inventory of gauging and meteorological stations (with site visits) of Chui, Batken, Jalal-Abad and Osh oblasts. About 65 operating and closed gauging and meteorological stations were visited to select hydroposts for rehabilitation under the project. During the inventory preliminary negotiations were held with the heads of Aiyl Okmotu on land acquisition for the newly opened hydroposts. Based on the results of field surveys, the following were selected from 65 observation stations for modernization and rehabilitation:
Chui basin:
Chui oblast: 1. Gauging station on Chu river -Cholok village (non-opearting). The station is located on the Chu River in Kemin rayon, Chui oblast. At the time of inspection of the hydrological post it was revealed that there is no service- residential unit, there is a cradle crossing, construction is incomplete, as earlier during construction the technical requirements for hydrometric structures were violated. Complete reconstruction of hydrometric crossing and hydropost facilities is required. There is no crane on the cradle crossing. The location of the discharge site was not selected successfully, a non-standard permanent bench mark is installed, binding to the State control network is required. It is advisable to move the hydrometric crossing 15 m downstream of the river. There is no State Act on the right to use the land plot, so land acquisition is necessary. The observation data at the post are necessary for integrated water resources management and for water level forecasting of the Chu river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of an office -residential unit. Upon preliminary opinion of specialists, installation of Automated Hydrological Complex (AHC) is possible.
2. Gauging station on Chong Kemin river –mouth of Karagaily Bulak. The closed station is located on Chong Kemin river in Kemin rayon, Chui oblast. It worked from 1950 till 1996. At the time of inspection of the station it was revealed that the service - residential unit was privatized, there is no communication, there are no power transmission lines (the nearest lines are about 6 km from the station). The hydropost was equipped with two cradle crossings, and one has now been preserved in good condition. The observation data at the post are necessary for integrated water resources management and water level forecasting of the Chu river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of an office- residential unit. According to the preliminary opinion of specialists, at present due to the powerful ice phenomena on the river, it is not possible to decide on the installation of AHC. 3. Gauging station on Ysyk-Ata river –mouth of Tuyuk (Yurievka). The station worked from 1926 to 1995, it is located on Ysyk-Ata river in Ysyk-Ata rayon, Chui oblast. Its service -residential unit is privatized. The hydrometric crossing has been destroyed. The observation data of the hydropost are necessary for integrated water resources management, for water level and mudflow hazard forecasting of the Chu river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of an office -residential unit. Possibility of installing AHC will be determined as a result of a more complete survey of the observation site. The land acquisition is required.
4. Gauging station on Ala-Archa river-mouth of Kashka-Suu (instead of hydropost on Ala- Archa river- 8 km up the mouth of Adygine river) The station is located on Ala-Archa river in Alamedin rayon, Chui oblast. It is a strategic communication hydropost for the big city. There is no service -residential unit (burned down as a result of fire). At the time of inspection of the hydropost, it was revealed that the station has an AHC installed by WB project, the post devices installed earlier by the MoES are in good condition, but do not meet the measurement requirements. The observation data at the post are necessary for integrated water resources management and for water level forecasting of the Chu river, the hydrological post needs to be modernized with construction of a modern service-residential unit with full facilities and modern conference hall. There is a land plot. It is decided to organize this hydropost as a demonstration observation point.
Naryn oblast:
5. Gauging station on Suek river – mouth of Ichke-Sai river (closed). The station is located on Suek river in Kochkor rayon, Naryn oblast. It worked from 1928 to 1998. At the time of inspection of the hydropost there is no communication, there is no power transmission line. It has a cradle crossing. The service- residential unit is privatized. Since the observation data at the post are necessary for integrated water resources management and for water level forecasting of Chu river, the hydrological post is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of a service -residential unit; due to the powerful ice phenomena on the river during the inspection of the hydropost, the decision on installation of AHC has not been taken. It is necessary to acquire the land plot.
6. Gauging station on Karakol river-mouth of Irisuu river (closed). The station is located on Karakol river in Kochkor rayon, Naryn oblast. It worked from 1928 to 1999. There is no communication, there is no power transmission line, the power transmission lines are about one km from the hydropost. It has a cradle crossing, on the former place there are old supports of the destroyed well, on the bank of the river there is an old house privatized by the former observer. Construction of a new service- residential unit is required. There is no State Act on the right to use the land plot, so it is necessary to acquire the land plot. The observation data at the hydropost are necessary for integrated water resources management and water level forecasting of the Chu river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of a service-residential unit. Due to the powerful ice phenomena on the river during the inspection of the hydropost, the decision on installation of AHC has not been taken.
7. Gauging station on Kara Kudjur river- -Sary-Bulak (closed). The station is located on river Kara Kudjur в in Kochkor rayon, Naryn oblast. It worked from 1926 to 1999. At the time of inspection of the hydropost it was revealed that the service and residential unit have been privatized. There is communication. The cradle crossing, old supports, cables, two permanent bench marks are preserved, the well was destroyed. There is no state act on the right to use the land plot. It is necessary to acquire the land plot. The observation data at the hydropost are necessary for integrated water resources management and water level forecasting of the Chu river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of a service- residential unit. Due to the powerful ice phenomena on the river during the inspection of the hydropost, the decision on installation of AHC has not been taken.
8. Gauging station on Kochkor river-Kochkor village. It is closed, worked from 1913 till 1987. It is located on Kochkor river in Kochkor rayon, Naryn oblast, at the confluence of Suek and Karakol rivers. At the time of inspection of the hydropost it was revealed that there is no service -residential unit, there is communication, there are power transmission lines. The cradle crossing and hydrometric structures are preserved, but in emergency condition. Since there have been significant changes in the hydrographic network in the area, additional information collection and field studies are required before the flood period begins. The observation data at the hydropost are necessary for integrated water resources management and water level forecasting of the Chu river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped with construction of a service- residential unit. Installation of AHC is possible. Land acquisition is required. Syrdarya river basin: Jalal-Abad oblast: 9. Gauging station on Saidan-Sai river- Shaidan-Sai village (operating)
The gauging station is located on Shaidan-Sai river in Nooken rayon, Jalal-Abad oblast. It is working. It is a regime and communication hydropost. At the time of inspection of the hydropost, it was revealed that the gauging station was completely destroyed due to deformation of the river bed. Since the observation data at the hydropost are necessary for integrated water resources management and water level forecasting of Shaidan-Sai river, the hydropost is proposed to be constructed antd fully equipped, including AMS (automatic meteorological station) with a standard set of sensors, AHC (automatic hydrological complex), construction of hydrometric crossing with hydropost devices and a service -residential unit for observer. The land plot is available.

The station is closed and located in Toktogul rayon, Jalal-Abad oblast. It worked from 1966 till 1997. The river flows into the Toktogul reservoir. Recommencement of observations on the site of the earlier hydropost is possible, the river bed meets the requirements for the choice of hydraulic solution. Installation of AMS with a standard set of sensors and installation of AHC is expedient at the station. Observation data are necessary for integrated water resources management and for afflux forecasting of the Torkent river to the Toktogul reservoir. Construction and installation of a hydrometric crossing, all hydropost devices and full equipment, as well as construction of a service- residential unit is proposed. There is no land acquisition.

15. Gauging station on Abshyr-Sai-Uch-Terek village. The station was closed in 1996, it is located in Nookat rayon, Osh oblast. The service-residential unit was privatized at the closure of the hydropost, and the land plot is now privately owned. Therefore, the specialists of Kyrgyzhydromet considered two plots in the upper part of the Abshyr-Sai river belonging to the Aiyl Okmotu. The most suitable place was near hydropost No. 5. The river is vulnerable to mudflow. Observation data are necessary for integrated water resources management and water level forecasting of the Abshyr-Sai river. The hydropost is proposed to be constructed and fully equipped, including AMS (automatic meteorological station) with a standard set of sensors, AHC (automatic hydrological complex), construction of a hydrometric bridge with devices and construction of a service -residential unit for observer.

17. Gauging station on Ak-Buura river-Papan village. The station was closed in 1995, it worked from 1912. At the time of the inspection of the hydropost it was revealed that the area on the site of the closed hydropost was occupied by a private person. On the proposed site there is a fishing farm through which an access way passes. The right bank section of the river is privately owned; the left bank belongs to the DWR. Since observation data are necessary for its afflux to the Papan reservoir, then water flow measurement is rather within the competence of the SAWR. Kyrgyzhydromet is considering two options - to open a hydropost higher up the river or to replace the construction of this hydropost by construction of an office -residential unit to create working conditions for the Uzgen Joint Hydrometeorological Station (JHMS), which is responsible for organization of work, methodological and technical control of attached hydroposts, performs primary processing of hydrological monitoring data and prepares data for Annual Dry Land Data (ADLD). Uzgen JHMS will be authorized to represent Kyrgyzhydromet in the Basin Council as a responsible station for hydrological monitoring when implementing IWRM. The works carried out by Uzgen JHMS are necessary for integrated water resources management and for water level forecasting of the rivers of the Syrdarya river basin and therefore it is proposed to build a service-residential unit of Uzgen JHMS with the equipment of workplaces (currently the building of Uzgen JHMS is in emergency condition).
