1 Components of IWRM study program at WEC and its relevance to water sector in Yemen by Prof. Dr.Abdulla Babaqi WEC IWRM Seminar Sana a March 2010

2 Outline Current situation of the water sector Needs for development in water sector Tools needed Role of WEC IWRM Diploma/MSc Program Aim of the IWRM education in Yemen Approaches towards curriculum development The curriculum Implementation of the program and achievements Conclusions

3 YEMEN OVERVIEW Area: 460,000 km 2 Cultivated area: 1,200,000 ha Population: 20.1 million Rural 75% Urban 25% Estimated growth rate 3.1 % / year NWRA-Yemen 2006

4 Water status in Yemen Total renewable water: 2.1 Bm 3 /y. Total water use: 3.0 Bm 3 /y Deficit: 0.9 Mm 3 /y Cultivated area: 1,200,000 ha

5 Drop of Water Level in different Basins (m/y) Basin Decline Level (m/year) Sana a Basin Northern Highlands (Sa adah) 5.0 Rada a Basin 5.0 Ta iz Basin 4.0 Southern Mountains 4.o Western Highlands 3.5 Amran Basin 3.0 Tihama Basin 3.5 Ahwar-Ma yfaih Basin 2.5 Tuban-Abyan Basin

6 Water Use in Yemen Agriculture: 90 %. Municipal: 8 % Industry: 2 %

7

8 Water Status in Yemen All surface water is fully utilized (only in extreme floods water reaches the sea) Water Scarcity is More Critical in the WESTERN PART of the Country, where > 90% of the population live Irrigated Area Has Expanded From 37,000 ha to about 1,200,000 ha between 1970 to 2004, Mostly Depend on Ground water Groundwater exploitation is continuously increasing More than 70,000 wells and estimated 200 drilling rigs NWRA-Yemen 2006

9 Water Resources Challenges in Yemen Most water constrained country in the world: 120 m3/capita/year, 10% of regional average and 2% of global average Over-exploitation of GW (Water tables drop up to 8 meters/year in some areas) Low irrigation water use efficiency (20-40%) Institutional and implementation capacity challenges for groundwater management 9

10 CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM Technological factors - Introduction of drilling technology and pumps -Inefficient use - particularly in agricultural sector - irrigation efficiency only 35% Social factors - Population growth - Production of Qat Economic and financial factors - Subsidy on diesel fuel - Cropping patterns are guided by market signals - Low/free water tarrifs Institutional & legal factors - Poor sectoral coordination - No enforcement for rules & regulations

11 Main Stakeholders in the Yemen water sector Farming Sheikhs and Large Landowners: Parliamentarians: Ministry of Water and Environment: National Water Resources Authority: Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation: WUAs Donors:

12 Stakeholders in the Yemen water sector (Mark Zeitoun, 2009)

13 Recent reforms in the water sector Creation in 1995 of a single water resource agency: NWRA Creation in 2003 of a new Ministry of Water and Environment: MWE Approval by Parliament of a Water Law in 2002 Restructuring of the urban water supply sector and tariff reforms Adoption of a National Water Sector Strategy and Investment Program (NWSSIP) in 2004 Revision of NWSSIP 2008

14 Needs for development In addition to the specific water related technical skills, more water management knowledge and skills are needed Need to create a national and regional intellectual IWRM resource base that has the capacity and capability to identify, formulate and undertake programs and projects of national and international organizations.

15 Needs for development There is also a need for an intermediate between private sector clients (contract research) and the knowledge institutes in Yemen and abroad

16 Tools Needed IWRM education taking into account that implementation of water related policy needs enforcement

17 Tools Needed Programs offered in Water and Environment Science in the Arabic Region are primarily focused on the technical and scientific aspects of the water sector

18 Tools Needed It is now clear that the water crisis is not purely a technical problem, but is a multi-faceted socioeconomic problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach

19

20 Role of WEC Centre for IWRM education Centre of New water-thinking Point of contact with international organizations (IWMI, GWP, CAP-Net, ESCWA, UNESCO-IHP) Support from Wageningen University, Technical University Delft, Cairo University amongst others

21

22 Role of WEC To provide MSc curriculum and professional diploma courses on IWRM Listen to water and educational sector to provide a fitting curriculum

23 What is IWRM IWRM (definition): IWRM is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, in order to maximize the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital eco-systems (Global Water Partnership, 2000)

24 IWRM Definitions IWRM (definition): Natural Resources System Infrastructure Demands Impacts IWRM Laws and regulations Socio- Economic System Administrative Institutional System

33 The Focus of IWRM IWRM focuses more on water resources management than on water resources development. IWRM is an approach that combines technical, social, legal, economical and political aspects of water Management (Multi-disciplinary).

34 The Focus of IWRM IWRM is an approach that involves multiple stakeholders to find a common acceptable solution to water management problems. IWRM is an idea that people need to be aware of and that needs continuously creative applications in water resources problems

35 The Focus of IWRM IWRM does NOT create more water!! It uses existing water resources better.

36 Aim of IWRM Education in Yemen To teach the basics of good water management, while at the same time considering technical, social, political, legal, etc. constraints. To develop students with skills, knowledge and attitude that they can apply in the context of the Yemeni water sector.

37 Aim of IWRM Education in Yemen The support project aims to develop an institutionally and financially sustainable educational program.

38 Approaches towards curriculum development A coherent set of courses, not a a collection of separate disciplines. Involvement of the teachers in the development of the complete curriculum, not a top down approach. Include the Yemeni water sector in the program, not an ivory tower approach.

39 Approaches towards curriculum development Build upon other efforts, not developing the wheel again. Combine the knowledge from all project partners and learn from each other (twoway traffic)

40

41

42 The curriculum First semester develops the basis of several disciplines. Second semester combines the disciplines in a problem oriented approach. Third semester develops research skills and makes students apply the IWRM skills and knowledge to their own problem. Fourth semester is MSc research.

60 Achievements The second group of students has finished their diplomas and currently working in their MSc thesis researches. The third group of students has finished their diplomas and currently preparing their research plans. The fourth group of students has started in In general, the achievements of the educational program at the WEC with the students are very satisfying. There is still a lack of funding for some students.

61 Conclusions Actual ownership of the curriculum is with the Water and Environment Center and the lecturers. Response from the Yemeni water sector on course content so far is encouraging. Curriculum is a coherent set of courses with a clear build up of skills, knowledge and attitude.

62 Conclusions IWRM capacity building is successful with the lecturers. IWRM capacity building now has spread to and through the students.
