CREDIT AND PROJECT SUMMARY Borrower: India, Acting by its President. szecuting Agency: The State of Haryana. Amount: IDA Credit SDR 187.3 million (USS 258.0 million equivalent). Terus: IDA: Standard with 35 years maturity. Co-Lending feozs: Government of India would make the proceeds of the Credit available to the State of Haryana (GOH) under standard arrangemer.ts for developmental assistance to the States of India. GOI would assume the foreign exchange risk. Project Description: The project would be a sector investment loan, financing an agreed state-wide program to improve the water distribution and drainage systems, and upgrade institutional capacity for water management and planning. The project would emphasize the re-ordering of the state's public expenditure priorities, supported by institutional and administrat mrereforms and policy adjustments. The project would finance the following investments under the areas of the Bhakra Canal system and Western Yamuna Canal system (includingGurgaon Canal) of the state: (a) rehabilitation of the existing canal and drainage systems, and selectivelining of canals and watercourses;(b) w inn of canal and drainage systems and watercourses,replacement of the HathnikundBarrage, and construction/extensionof minors; (c) upgraded 2peration and maintAnannA (°&MN of the water distribution and drainage system; and (d) inntituttonal trengtheningto support administration, data collection,planning, design, beneficiary participation and formation of Water User Associations, research and training. Investments would be supported by reforms to reorganize the Haryana IrrigationDepartment (HID). O&M standards and procedures would be adjusted to improve irrigation efficiency and services to all consumers, enhance productivity levels, and implement full O&Mcost recovery. A water policy framework would be developed through multi-use water resourceplanning and formulation of a State Water Plan. Project 5enef its: The main expenditures under the project -- rehabilita- tion, modernization, and improving O0M -- would enhance operationalefficiency, and result in improved water use, improved irrigationand higher valued agriculturalproduction. Economic benefits would also result from reouced losses due to recurrent flooding. As importantly,the project would assist the state to transformHID from a constructionand irrigation oriented agency into a specializedwater resource management institution,and improve the ins3itution's financialviability. The policy reforms would help GOH and the private sector to allocate resourcesto higher priority investmentsin water resources development. Project Risks: There are three main risks to the project. The first risk relates to implementation of the large investment program within an agreed period of time. In the past, HID has demonstrated the ability to implement large, complex projects to high standards. To help maintain the past high standards, &A internal project Quality Assurance Unit would be established in HID during project implementation. The second risk is associated with HID's capabilitiesto sustain the proposed higher standardsof O&M of the canal and drainage system. HID will reorganizethe presently fragmented0&S functionsand the existing 0&M units will be strer.gthenedana better funded at all levels. Annual disbursementof project funds will be linked to expenditures and performance of O&M in the previous year. The third risk is related to GOH's capabilities to implementand sustain the proposed changes in O&M funding, and cost recovery of agriculturalpower and water services under the project. The cost recovery program is l .akedto an administrativereform through which a new unit in charge of programmingand budgeting,program tracking,cost accounting and service cost allocation would be created. Annual disbursements of project funds would also be linked to cost recovery. A specific action plan, agreed at appraisal, will be monitored closely during supervisionto help minimize project risks. atorat.
