(TCP PROJECT EXAMPLE)

I. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

Rainfall is variable in Country XXX, droughts occur frequently and water resources are scarce and expensive to exploit. The authorities have adopted a comprehensive approach to water resources planning, recognizing the close inter-relationship between surface water and groundwater, and the demand for drinking and irrigation water. Water demand management is applied through a variety of programmes including price, rationing and technical conservation measures. Large investments have been made in water management infrastructure with many reservoirs and a major regional water system), which allows for integrated water management in the parts of the country more critically affected by water scarcity.

Recent economic growth has been based largely on tourism, and expenditure of foreign exchange in the country is equivalent to 23 percent of GDP. Tourism accounts for only 11 percent of municipal water demand but is concentrated in the more water-short region and seasonal, with a peak in the rainless summer. Agriculture still accounts for 30 - 35 percent of merchandise and processed agricultural products exports, but in real terms it has been growing less than the rest of the economy and accounts for only 6 percent of GDP and 13 percent of employment. Irrigated agriculture however accounts for 75 percent of all water used.

Facing water scarcity, a first water desalination plant is already operating and a second has been commissioned. The cost of water produced this way on the basis of oil imports is of about US$0.80 per cubic metre. Pressure is increasing to reallocate water from low-value uses, such as certain sectors of agriculture, to higher value uses, such as the expanding tourist and services sector. There is growing evidence that the short period of rainfall records on which the design of the hydraulic infrastructure of XXX was based, represented a "wet" period and that therefore the existing storage infrastructure, lacking the expected rainfall, cannot perform as expected. The authorities face difficult political decisions which must be addressed now rather than in 20 years' time due to an extended dry spell that has resulted in serious and growing water shortage.

Water scarcity aggravated by drought is threatening the base of the country's economy. Water policy adjustments are urgent and are bound to have important implications for the agricultural sector. Reviewing and enforcing water tariffs appears to be unavoidable but cannot be done without the outputs of this project. High-level specialized expertise, not available in XXX, is required to provide the necessary advice.

The project is of an urgent nature as XXX is experiencing one of the most serious dry spells on record, and water has become the most scarce resource for the development of agriculture as well as the economy at large. The authorities of XXX are aware of the gravity of this situation and are preparing a review of water policy and law, including the sensitive questions of additional development (increasing water supply, mostly by desalination) and water reallocation through market or non-market mechanisms. The first step in this direction, and the one for which FAO/TCP assistance is requested, is to reassess water resources availability and water use in the country. To this end, the project will update the obsolete database facilities at the Water Development Department, reprocess the relevant data and carry out necessary surveys to obtain and validate information. At the core of the project is the assessment of current water use, with emphasis on agriculture which takes the largest share and contributes the least to GDP and will therefore come under close scrutiny with regard to its water use. The results of the project will be a main subject of discussion at a high-level seminar intended to launch a water policy review and reform process.

II. OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSISTANCE

The overall objective of the TCP assistance is to contribute to a review of management and policy concerning the critically scarce water resources of XXX at a time of extended drought. This objective will be achieved through a rapid assessment of water availability and use. The results of the project will be fed into a high-level seminar for discussion of further water management and policy action. Consequently, the Government will be in a better position to make policy decisions.

The Project has two immediate objectives:

Objective 1
Rapid assessment of water availability and water use in the main water management regions of the country. On the supply side, it will provide updated records, most probably lower than was assumed in the past, about the water available to the country. On the demand side, it will give the detailed current picture, with a handle for extrapolation in to the future, about where the water is going, including its value in use.

Objective 2
Policy and management options (reallocation, additional water development works, etc.) available for presentation at a national high-level seminar and further government action through increased technical capability of the Water Development Department.

III. PROJECT OUTPUTS

Outputs to fulfill Objective 1:

Output 1.1
An updated water resources database, supported by adequately performing water data processing and GIS software and hardware, with personnel trained in its operation and maintenance. This output is a prerequisite for most other activities of the project.

Output 1.2
A hydrometeorological study examining trends in recorded rainfall. It will provide more accurate (and probably lower) figures on rainfall on the country than had been assumed as a basis for water development works.

Output 1.3
A rainfall/run-off model, linked to the upgraded database, can be applied for water resources studies as well as a users manual. This output will provide the tools needed to evaluate the implications of a changed rainfall pattern for the performance of the existing and projected future water management infrastructure.

Output 1.4
An updated study on the current and projected surface water and groundwater resources availability in the country. This is required to put the water management of the country on a sound basis.

Output 1.5
A water use study for the country, supported through GIS technology. The study will include domestic, tourist sector and industrial water use, but the major effort will address agricultural water use assessment because of the large share of water that agriculture takes and the complexity of the situation regarding value in use in agriculture. It involves several field campaigns.

Output 1.6
A study of the performance and effectiveness of the existing water monitoring networks with a view to possible network improvement and rationalization. Carrying out this study is a logical and immediate consequence of the re-assessment of resources and consequent redeployment of hydrological activities.

Outputs to fulfill Objective 2:

Output 2.1
A summary review of laws and institutions relevant to the water sector in the context of harmonization with EU common policy and the possible application of new policies to cope with water scarcity. The availability of this document will allow a better understanding of the reasons for the existing water management situation and the avenues open for policy review.

Output 2.2
Technical documentation on current and projected water supply and demand, with a focus on management options and policy implications for presentation at a national high-level seminar. This seminar is a milestone at which the results of the project will converge with the results of other activities undertaken by the Government in preparing to address the critical water situation of the country.

Output 2.3
Increased capability in hydrology, water use assessment and law and institutions of staff within the Water Development Department through on-the-job, in-country and external training, underpinning the ability to support water policy review and reform.
