Description
The project development objective (PDO) of the proposed Syr Darya Control and Northern Aral Sea Project - Phase 2 (SYNAS-2) would be to improve water resources management in the Kazakh part of the Syr Darya Basin. The achievement of the PDO would increase the timely irrigation water supply to agricultural areas, increase fisheries production, and enhance human safety, the environment, and the general well-being of the population living around the NAS. The preliminary key indicators include: (i) water supply to the major irrigation areas along the Syr Darya according to agreed contracts between the CWR and water management organizations; (ii) inflows into the NAS maintained at a level that keeps salinity levels below 10 gr/ltr; (iii) fresh-fish catches of at least 5,000 ton/year by the end of the project; (iv) floods with levels less than the design return period can be passed safely by the Syr Darya; and (v) evidence of high satisfaction rates among people around the NAS with their living conditions.
Expected Outcomes
The proposed SYNAS-2 would be designed to improve further the environmental and economic conditions along the Syr Darya and the NAS. It would build on the work done under SYNAS-1. This would be achieved by focusing more on integrated water resources management in the basin, which would require a number of structural interventions and strengthening the institutional and management capacity for integrated water resources management in the basin. The proposed components, with a total project cost estimated at about US$300 million (including contingencies and miscellaneous costs), are described below.
Component A - Rehabilitation of Northern Aral Sea and Delta Lakes
Component B - Improving Conveyance Capacity of the Syr Darya
Component C - Improving Safety of Chardara Dam
Component D - Improving Water Resources Management in the Syr Darya
Component E – Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Audits and Training
