1 Improving water productivity at plot level in the Ferghana Valley (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) Kahramon Jumaboev, Senior Research Officer, IWMI-CA Donor: SDC Implementing: IWMI, SIC-ICWC, National partners; Outline - Introduction - Main constraints to improve water productivity - Goals and objectives - Institutional structure - Project interventions - Main achievements 1

2 I I I I I I Ferghana Valley Area: 124,200 km2 Population: 11,342,000 Shared by: Kyrgyz republic (Osh, Jalabad, Batken), Tajikistan (Sogd) and Uzbekistan (Andijan, Ferghana and Namangan) Rainfall during growing season in FV 80,00 70,00 60,00 50,00 40,00 30,00 III-VII=82 мм 66 мм 69 мм 96 мм 123 мм 20,00 32 мм 10,00 0,00 II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII II III IV V VI VII VIII XI XII IX X II III IV V VI VII VIII 4 2

3 Why Water Productivity? Irrigated agriculture provides almost 90% of crop production and 88% of water used for irrigation It is forecasted by 2020 CA population reach to 70 mln. More kilograms of agricultural production per unit of water delivered Constraints 1. Lack of knowledge about actual crop water requirements. 2. Reliability of water supply from canals. 3. High field infiltration and runoff losses. 4. Low crop yields. 5. Inefficient distribution of water on farm level (no measurement) 6. gap to facilitate communication between researchers and farmers 3

4 Inequity in Water distribution within a WUA Frequency fi Class intervals Long furrows 200 meter Extra water Water shortage 50 m 50 m 50 m 50 m 4

5 WPI-PL Goal: Enhancing WP, crop yields and yield stability at plot level through improved on-farm water management Objective: To strengthen the capacity (in terms of knowledge, extension material and methods) of the different actors in the agricultural innovation system through conveying solid and adapted extension messages relating to WP to the farmers. Actors in innovation cycle generation processing, Extension methodology dissemination/ multiplication implementers Research Information Centers Disseminators Farmers - Needs/demand - Feedback Water Productivity = return / water consumed Agronomic knowledge yield Hydrotechnical knowledge 5

12 Main achievements Crop yields increased Farmers started to pay less amount of money for water after introduction of WFM and volumetric payment in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan Equity in water distribution improved within WUAs Project outreach (10750 farmers in Osh and Jalalabad)in Kyrgyzstan Close to 453 farmers in Uzbekistan About 228 farmers in Tajikistan Thank you 12
