One direction of activities is promoting the safe operation of more than 100 large dams, most of which are situated on transboundary rivers. Many of these dams were built 40 to 50 years ago, and due to limited resources for their maintenance and the inadequacy of a legal framework for their safe operation, the risk of accidents is increasing.

  • Study on Intra-Regional Cooperation on Water and Power for Efficient Resources Management in Central Asia
    No. Central Asia Region Study on Intra-Regional Cooperation on Water and Power for Efficient Resources Management in Central Asia Main Report February 2009 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan JAPAN WATER FORUM JAPAN WATER AGENCY TOKYO ELECTRIC POWER SERVICES CO., LTD. EC JR 09-001 Preface In order to promote intra-regional cooperation in Central Asian countries, the “Central Asia plus Japan” dialogue initiative was launched by the Japanese government in 2004. The action plan in each field was drawn up at the foreign ministers’ meeting in 2006. In 2007, at the 2nd “Central Asia plus Japan” intellectual dialogue in Tokyo, a specific theme called “Prospects for Regional Cooperation in Central Asia on Water Resources and Electric Power” was discussed. The Japan Bank for International Cooperation (new JICA, Japan International Cooperation Agency, from October 2008) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan conducted a basic study to set up a new direction for their support, and to concretize the roles of Japan by entrusting Japan Water Forum, Japan Water Agency and Tokyo Electric Power Services Co., Ltd. whit a further study. The study team visited the four countries of Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) twice. The comprehension of the current situation and issues regarding water resources and the electric field was enabled by interviewing governmental organizations, international organizations, donors etc. (the first research). Furthermore, a presentation of the interim report to the organizations and a hearing of the opinions (the second research) were undertaken. The present report was compiled and finalized, as a result of the researches.

Immerzeel Client Asian Development Bank Report FutureWater: 110 FutureWater Costerweg 1V 6702 AA Wageningen The Netherlands +31 (0)317 460050 [email protected] www.futurewater. nl PREFACE This report contributes to the Asian Development Bank study TA 7532 “Water and Adaptation Interventions in Central and West Asia” carried out by the Finnish Consulting Group (FCG) in collaboration with FutureWater (Netherlands) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). The relevance of the study is that the regional policy can only be implemented if there is a strong scientific background for investment plans and commitment to international agreements and conventions. The study focuses on Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The approach of the study is to develop hydrological models for the Amu Darya and Syr Darya and include various climate change impact scenarios. Results will be used to develop national capacity in each of the participating countries to use these models to prepare climate change impact scenarios and develop adaptation strategies. The Request for Proposal for this study was distributed amongst five consortiums on 1-Dec- 2010. Based on a Quality- and Cost-Based Selection (QCBS) the consortium of Finnish Consulting Group (FCG) in collaboration with FutureWater (Netherlands) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) was granted to undertake the
