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
ecosystems (Dublin 1992, GWP)

IWRM guiding principles







Consider all water uses jointly and balance the
effect on each other
Manage jointly water quality and quantity
Public Participation in all phases from planning
to implementation
Decision making on the lowest appropriate level
Women play an important role
Basins/hydrological boundaries as management
areas
Flexible/adaptable to the specific needs

Agreement on IWRM for
Tajikistan (April 2011)
 Adoption
of IWRM guiding principles (all
sectors, joint quantity and quality
management, participation, decision
making at lowest adequate level)
 Basin approach, hydraulic boundaries

Water and Energy

Becoming more of a topic of interest due to:

relatively large consumption of energy by the water
sector, e.g.
• In the UK 5% of all energy consumed (mainly for drinking water and
sewerage systems)
• In India 6% of the energy used is for pumping groundwater for
irrigation
• In Tajikistan this might well be even higher due to the large pumped
systems

Increasing tendency to use irrigation for the growing
of bio fuel crops

Energy in Tajikistan

98% of the energy produced is through hydropower
mainly generated by large dams and turbines

There is a large potential to increase the energy
production from hydropower due to:

suitable geography and geology

large annual amount of internal renewable water resources (> 60 km3 )

Therefore in this presentation effects of large dams on
various sub-sectors are evaluated

Given the uncertainty of the impact of climate change on
the hydropower generation potential, it is advisable to
re-evaluate reliance on hydropower only

Conclusions
 There
are many interactions between
reservoirs and various water sub-sectors
 Some potential impact of climate change
was considered using two extreme
scenarios: drier and wetter
 Due to the large variety of interactions it is
not possible to identify which scenario
leads to more positive or negative impacts
and mitigation of one effect might lead to
worsening of another
