Work Bodies Coveredby the Strategy Theme“KNOWLEDGE” (ST.K)IPTRID Advisory Committee(AC-IPTRID) - Estd. 1995Dr. Cogels said that the role of theIPTRID Secretariat (Rome) will be tohelp countries to enunciate waterstrategies, and in project formulationto attract funding for capacity buildingprograms.IPTRID ‘Core Activities’ wereorganized in three ‘Production Lines’,namely:1. Support for country strategydevelopment2. Support for projects3. Communications and advocacyThe IPTRID Partner Organizationswere expected to focus onimplementation of actions on:1. Smallholder Irrigation; 2.WaterConservation; 3. Drainage andSalinity; and 4. IrrigationModernizationFAO has confirmed the continuedsupport to IPTRID. Mr. Peter Leenoted ICID’s role as key informant/guide to the IPTRID Programme asone of the IPTRID partners. Theobjective of the AC-IPTRID meetingwas to provide advice to thePogramme Manager and his team.Mr. K.N. Sharma, Secretary, ICID,informed about development of newopen source software to replace theold Libsys software. ICID CentralOffice having completed more than3 years of its successful functioningof TDS services, has also establisheda new software with Z39.50 protocol.It is an attempt to integrate the variouslibraries/information centres, andonline educational and informationalresources into a centrally managedenvironment for accessing highquality assured informationresources. The architecture for thenew software involves aggregatingdifferent services via Z39.50 server.ICID National Committees wereencouraged to submit relevantdocuments for inclusion in the TDSarchive. To make these documentsaccessible to as wide an audienceas possible it was suggested that theAbstracts should be translated in theICID languages. However,documents in any language(complying with Unicode) could bestored in the database for use.Mr. Peter S. Lee noted that themanagement of the TDS anddevelopment of the new softwareis a tangible and significantcontribution by ICID to the IPTRIDactivities and wanted to know aboutlinks between WCA InfoNET andthe TDS. Dr. Cogels <strong>report</strong>ed thatDFID funding for WCA InfoNETwill end by December <strong>2003</strong> andthe Secretariat was exploring howto safeguard the contents. Asadvised Dr. Cogels, WCA Infonet18

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>was approached by ICID to join theTDS network to avoid data loss.The Central Office receivedresponses from 5 National Committeesregarding proposals onresearch priorities for IPTRID.(i) Slovak National Committee(SKNC-ICID); (ii) Comite Nationaled’Irrigation et de Drenage deMacedonie (MAKCID) ; (iii) PakistanNational Committee on Irrigationand Drainage (PANCID); NationalCommittee of Uzbekistan UzCID);and (iv) Australian NationalCommittee, ICID (ANCID)Working Group onResearch and Development(WG-R&D) – Estd. 1994The National Committees ofMacedonia, Pakistan and Australiacontributed to AC-IPTRID, who willmake recommendations inconsultation with WG-R&D. IPTRIDwill focus on capacity building andinstitutional strengthening. Its workis now an <strong>International</strong> Program forCapacity Building in SustainableAgriculture and Water Management(IPTRID Partnerships). An<strong>International</strong> Workshop on “Makinga Difference : Bridging Researchand Practice in Irrigation andDrainage” is proposed to be heldduring 19 th ICID Congress at Beijing,China in 2005. The workshopAdvisory Committee comprises ofMessrs. Linden Vincent (TheNetherlands); John Replogle (USA);Jiesheng Huang (China); G.Backeberg (South Africa); andStephens Mills (Australia). Dr. JohnReplogle (USA) will be InformationOfficer to collate information on WGexpertise for future work planning.ICID Journal Editorial Board(EB-JOUR) - Estd. 1994In view of the significantly increasednumber of articles for publication,the number of Associate Editorsincreased with the addition of Prof.Nakamura as Associate Editor.The <strong>report</strong> of the Chairman presentedduring last IEC at Montpellier coveredseveral editorial issues. TheChairman’s <strong>report</strong>s (2002 and <strong>2003</strong>January – August) were disseminatedamong the members of theEditorial Board.The Editorial Board notes that thecooperation with Wiley is goingsmoothly. M/s. Wiley is activelypromoting the Journal through itsown publications, the web site and atvarious conferences. A new leaflethad recently been prepared.Interaction with the IrrigationAssociations, is being developed anda special focus on China is alsoattempted. M/s. John Wiley & Sonshad renewed its logo and web site.‘Short Notes’ on key issues couldalso be submitted. The informationshould fall in line with the objectivesof Journal.For the year <strong>2004</strong>, it was decided toincrease the number of pages from104 to 128 pages to accommodatemore papers.Working Group onCoordination of Dictionaries(WG-CD) - Estd. 1998Several National Committees,notably Russian, Spanish, Indian,Bulgarian, Vietnamese, Pakistani,Lithuanian, and Chinese, had showninterest to translate the MTD in theirlanguages. These NationalCommittees were exhorted to useonly the latest 2002 version of thedictionary for translation.The 3 rd revision of the Dictionary onCD-ROM will be published in 2006.Some National Committees such asVietnamese, Russia and Korea havealready started the translation ofDictionary in their languages.Experts/authors who revised the2002 version, are being contacted,to take up the task of revising thechapters (except for Chapter 10) forthe 3 rd version. In case of theirunavailability, the concerned workinggroup chairs will identify experts whocould revise the chapters.ISO TC 23/SC 18 had a WorkingGroup dealing with definitions relatedto irrigation equipment. It would bevery useful in the revision, especiallyfor Chapter 10 of the MTD. The ISOdefinitions will be taken into accountfor the MTD, because thesedefinitions represent the state-of-artfor irrigation equipment.The names of experts/authors willbe identified for revising the chaptersat the time of forthcoming IECmeeting in Moscow in <strong>2004</strong>. The 3 rdrevised version of CD-ROM will bebrought out at the time of 57 th IEC inMalaysia in 2006.Committee on PublicRelations and Publications(C-PR&P) - Estd. 1992The Committee reviewed the sale ofpublications and noted that saleshad continued to increase during thepast two years. The Committeeacknow-ledged the work of theCentral Office to market ICIDpublications, including the use of thewebsite for direct purchase ofpublications. Both the twopublications, History of Irrigation,Drainage and Flood Control in theDanube Valley and History ofIrrigation, Drainage and FloodControl in Eastern Asia werepublished and distributed.The Committee considered the <strong>report</strong>of Chair and also Joint Editors ofICID Journal. The Committee alsoreviews the Wiley website, focusingon the sections related to the ICIDJournal, including the titles, authorsand abstracts of the papers in each19

issue and information on upcomingpapers.The Committee after review of theprogress of electronic version of“Irrigation and Drainage in the World- A Global Review” proposed that adatabase, including graphics andphotographs from each country, beadded to the Review.The website had significantlyimproved during that past year. TheCommittee finds that the website.pdf version of the ICID Directory ismeeting the needs of ICID NationalCommittees. The Working Groupsagendas now had an item onPublications to remind theWorkbodies of the opportunities topublish in print and on the ICIDwebsite.The Committee has sought aproposal and a policy to be developedregarding commercial publication ofmaterial developed by ICID WorkingGroups and the use of the ICID logoby commercial publishers. TheCommittee feels that the copyrightand/or the right to publish documentsdeveloped by ICID Working Groupslies with ICID. A Policy Statement isbeing developed by Central Officefor inclusion in the ICID By-Laws.This is being addressed in theAgenda pertaining to 55 th IEC atMoscow, September <strong>2004</strong>.Working Group on Historyof Irrigation, Drainage andFlood Control(WG-HIST) - Estd. 1980The progress made by variousNational Working Groups (NWGs)on their assignments was reviewed.Prof. N. Hatcho, Chairman, WG-HIST met the Secretary of the Ministryof Agriculture in Colombo andencouraged him to update an oldhistory book to a modern publicationaccording to ICID standard.New publication of ‘Danube Valley’was released at the OpeningCeremony of the 20 th EuropeanRegional Conference on 17September <strong>2003</strong> and the History ofIndus Basin was released at the 2 ndAsian Regional Conference held atEchuca, Maoma, Australia from 14-17 March <strong>2004</strong>.The publication on ‘History ofIrrigation in Eastern Asia’ will beready on a CD-ROM at the time ofBeijing Congress in 2005. Mrs. Sinattisuggested that the WG shouldestablish contacts with Universitiesand make all relevant ICIDpublications available for Universityeducation.A successful workshop on ‘Historyof Water: Lessons to Learn’ wasorganized by ICID WG-HIST, UNU,IWHA, and Osaka Sayama-ikeMuseum at the time of WWF-3 inOsaka, Japan.Secretary, WG-HIST gave a reviewof the presentations during WWF-3on Floods. He informed that Floodmanagement was also an issue inother organizations such as WMO inGeneva, and regular conferenceson flood control will be planned in2005 in the Netherlands and inGermany. ‘Flood Management’ willalso be a major topic during ICID’s2005 Congress in Beijing.The information of WG-HIST isalready available on ICID website.The Korean National Committee onIrrigation and Drainage (KCID)translated the book on ‘HistoricalDams’ into Korean language. Themain topic initially proposed forHistory Seminar to be held at Beijingin September 2005 is “Managementof Historical/Traditional IrrigationProjects”. The detailed topics will befinalized and posted on web seekingcontributions.Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>B. Workbodies Coveredby the Strategy Theme“BASIN” (ST.B)Working Group onIntegrated Land and WaterResources Management(WG-ILWRM) - Estd. 1973At Montpellier, it was proposed topresent a study on “Lessons learntfor IWRM in four countries, namelyBurkina Faso, Cambodia, Nepal andTanzania, with different focus andpriorities”.At Montpellier, two presentations ofILWRM country experiences weremade : (1) Prof. Yuansheng Pei fromChina on “Integrated WaterResources Planning andManagement in China”; (2) Prof. C.Fasso from Italy. The WG agreedafter discussion that in addition tosharing individual countryexperiences on ILWRM, it will beworthwhile to compare different RiverBasins and draw lessons from similarproblems faced in these River BasinsDr. M.G. Bos (The Netherlands)presented a framework for ILWRMwith the main uses of water in a RiverBasin, and the interaction betweenmanagement and demand. The WGexpects to present its ILWRM countryexperiences during the 21 st EuropeanRegional Conference on IntegratedLand and Water ResourcesManagement : Towards SustainableRural Development during 15-19 May2005 at Frankfurt (Oder) in Germanyand Slubice, Poland. This WG alsoexpects to act as a ReviewingCommittee for the Conference.Working Group onEnvironmental Impacts ofIrrigation, Drainage andFlood Control Projects(WG-ENV) - Estd. 1986The Working Group considers‘Climate Change’ as an important20

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>aspect causing hazards to agricultureand water resources. It is relativelynot yet well evaluated. The WorkingGroup considers the need andadvisability to overcome threat towater resources sector and themanner in which the agricultural landwater management, drainage andflood control could be adopted tomitigate the repercussions of earlywarning. Suitable programme couldbe evolved after the present actionprogrammes are completed. Theresearch results concerning ClimateChange Circulation Model, amongothers, conveys the following keyissue: even though the generalclimate change impact on agricultureis for the better, the change will causemore erratic rainfall making watermanagement more difficult. Theresults in general would be put in amore concise form by WG, soon.The Working Group considered thatmitigation of the impact of the ricefield methane flux on the climatechange is affected by, among others:(1) high yield variety rice; (2) organicfertilizer. Prof. Kwun, Soon-Kuk(Korea) and Prof. Dr. Hu Heping(China) presented the case studiesand the research result of Korea,Japan and China at Montreal,whereas Dr. Indreswari Guritno hadpresented one at Granada, Spain.The Working Group considered theneed for an action plan in associationwith the Working Group on the impactof climate change on watermanagement activities, as its futureprogramme. The Working Groupdebated on the impacts of waterprojects on human health in ruralareas and decided that Mr. M. KazemSiahi would make a comparison withthe case study on South America/Mexico. The Working Groupreviewed the progress onimplementation of ICID Strategy onICID Vision. The Working Groupconsidered the multi-institutionaldialogue on “Water, Food andEnvironment” and suggests that allNational Committees shouldcontribute for the IWRDM decisionprocedures, for further analysis bythe WG-ENV. The WG decided thatthe proceedings of the pastconferences/workshops organizedby the WG-ENV were to be put onthe web-site of the WG-ENV and Dr.Hu Heping would assist in theestablishment of a website.The Working Group noted thatEnvironmental Flow Requirement ofWater was an important issue thatemerged at a plenary session of“Dialogue on Water, Food andEnvironment” organized by IWMI atKyoto at the time of WWF-3, wherea presentation was made by formerSecretary General Dr. Thatte. Apresentation is scheduled at Moscowin <strong>2004</strong> by the Iranian NationalCommittee on the environmentalimpact of water transfer “The case ofTaligan Dam Project”.Under CPSP (Country Policy SupportProgramme with funding assistanceby The Netherlands Government)ICID Central Office had undertakena survey of available literature onenvironmental flow or minimum flowneeds in river systems as determinedscientifically and/or legal provisions.CPSP model also attempts toestablish the allocation of flow forNature Sector (terrestrial and aquaticeco-system – based on land use/water uses).In the meanwhile, during the year,Secretary General received aquestionnaire on environmental flowfrom SIWI (associating IWMI andIUCN and Dept. of Water andEnvironmental Studies at LinkopingUniversity (IU) with the later ascoordinator). An initial response wassent. Further detailed response fromICID will be sent after collecting,collating and discussing in WG-ENVand other related WGs and PCTA.Working Group onIrrigated Agriculture underDrought and Water Scarcity(WG-IADWS) - Estd. 1996WG members were actively involvedwith activities of six sub-themes ofthe Working Group.

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>ICID Day Celebrations<strong>International</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> on Irrigation and Drainage(ICID) was established on 24 th June 1950 in India.Central Office and National Committees of ICID worldover celebrate the foundation day every year by holdingscientific/professional meetings on topics of currentinterest. The Central Office celebrated the ‘54 th ICIDFrom (L to R) : Jai Pal Singh, S.K.N. Nair,D.K. Pant and C.D. ThatteDay” on 11 th July by holding a brainstorming sessionon “Economic and Financial Aspects of Interlinking ofRivers”. Dr. C.D. Thatte, Secretary General Hon., ICIDintroduced the subject and said that inter-basin watertransfers of about 10 billion m 3 have been carried outin 19 countries worldwide. A team of experts fromNational Council of Applied Economic Research(NCAER), namely, Mr. S.K.N. Nair, Dr. D.K. Pant andMr. Jai Pal Singh made presentation on Economic andFinancial Aspects of Interlinking of Rivers in India.While discussing the economic issues, Mr. Nairmentioned that “Potentially, the river linking projectcould match the introduction of high yielding varietiesof seeds and the Green Revolution”. The abovestatement looks at the potential impact on agriculture,of course, the impact of ILR will not be limited toagriculture. But looking at this sector first, he hasclassified the potential effect of the scheme into twocategories i.e. effect on areas un-irrigated at presentand effect on areas currently termed as “Irrigated”.He mentioned that agriculturally and economically, theimpacts on these two categories will be quite different.Which means that policy-making will need to makeinformed choices on the optimal use of the additionalwater to meet the overall objectives of growth andwelfare. It is known that irrigation brings with it a wholeset of cultural practices like mechanised agriculture,use of HYV, use of pesticides and weedicides etc.Augmenting the current sources of irrigation, canal orsub-soil water drawn by pump-sets, will remove theuncertainties of water availability, provide timelyirrigation supply and bring with it prospects of higheryields, diversification, increased surplus and export ofgrain and other products. Two other significant impactsof the RLP in currently irrigated areas are therecharging of depleting sub-soil water sources; andsaving in use of electricity for pump sets.He informed that access to water for currently unirrigatedareas on the other hand is likely to facilitatesubsistence farming for the short and medium termwith a different set of economical outcomes. Thepolicy will need to address another category of people- those who will be displaced to make way for thecanal. Part of this population will, presumably, beemployed in the implementation of the scheme itselfbut long term resettlement and compensation willinvolve a combination of alternative land, cashcompensation and employment.While addressing the issues related to economicanalysis, Dr. D.K. Pant mentioned that economicanalysis will aid the correct formulation of policy. Thereare different tools and techniques by which this supportcan be harnessed.• One such is the setting of “Water PovertyIndices” for the affected regions. Separateindices could be worked out on a normativebasis, for water for household needs and forirrigation needs.• Another important area interfacing economicsis that of pricing of agricultural products.Practices vary from state to state. Pricing willhave determining effect on choice of crops.This is a crucial factor that could make thedifference between optimal or sub-optimal useof the additional water resources.Mr. Jai Pal Singh while addressing the issues relatedto financing of the project mentioned that in general,irrigation schemes are funded through governmentsurpluses or grants and not through borrowed funds.The reasons are obvious that one basic point is theevidence that the beneficial effect of irrigation taketime to get realized. However, irrigation use can alsobe encouraged to pay for the water use in the shortterm,provided there is concurrent reform in the pricingof electricity for agricultural use. Before turning to34

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>questions of methodology, one important point relatingto public finance needs to be made. This is the levelof current fiscal deficit of the states and the centerwhich will set limits on the funds that can be raisedfor the scheme by borrowing internally or externally.Lastly a couple of points about the methodologywere also mentioned about the economic analysisneeds to be based on data to be compiled throughextensive field surveys which will cover; landownership patterns; indices of land and water use;cropping pattern; cultural practices (Mechanisation,HYV, Pesticides, etc.); input patterns (Labour,Economics of cultivation); employment; householdincome; household consumption, etc. The aim is toassess the likely economic impact of the schemein as much details as possible.Japan (JNC-ICID)Japanese National Committee of ICID (JNC-ICID)supported by Japan ICID Association held a meetingon June 30 as the Memorial Event of ICID Day.Mr. Matoba Yashunobu who worked as SecretaryGeneral in Mekong River <strong>Commission</strong> spoke aboutthe recent approaches on international water problems.He introduced the results of 3 rd World Water ForumConference and explained its features.

IWMI’sPODIUMSim model was applied toassess the requirements of basinsand country as a whole with theavailable land and water resources.Going beyond, ICID’s own modelincorporates the hydrologic aspectsin a holistic manner taking into andintegrating land and water uses. Onfinalisation of the CPSP hydrologicmodel, ICID had extensiveconsultation with leading<strong>International</strong> and National Agenciesin Water Sector amongst, whichIWMI was in the fore. Two subbasinsin India and China werestudies in depth with inputs of bothIWMI’s model (through IndianCentral Water <strong>Commission</strong>) andICID’s hydrology model.Apart from the above, ICID’soperational net working and workbodies with IWMI’s participation issignificant. Presently IWMI isrepresented on 9 TechnicalCommittees/Working Groups ofICID. These are –Ø Permanent Committee forTechnical Activities(PCTA)Ø Working Group on Socio-Economic Impacts andPolicy Issues (WG-SOCIO)Ø Working Group onResearch andDevelopment (WG-R&D)Ø Working Group onDevelopment andManagement of IrrigationS y s t e m s(WG-DMIS)Ø Working Group onCapacity Building,Training and Education(WG-CBTE)Ø Asian Regional WorkingGroup (ASRWG)Ø IPTRID AdvisoryCommittee (AC-IPTRID)Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>Ø Working Group onCoordination ofDictionaries (WG-CD)Ø Working Group onIntegrated Land andWater ResourcesManagement (WG-ILWRM)IWMI is an Observer on ICID’s<strong>International</strong> Executive CouncilMeeting (IEC); their onerepresentative is exempt frompayment of registration fee.

WMO also invites ICIDat its regional meetings from timeto time. Besides the above, thereare also good linkages at work bodylevels. WMO (Dr. Sivakumar)participates in the WG-IADWSactivities. He made a presentationon ‘Droughts’ during Montpelliersession of ICIDIr. Hj. Keizrul bin Abdullah(Malaysia), President ICID visitedWMO as one of the Guests ofHonour at the <strong>annual</strong> celebrationson World Water Day. He made apresentation on the subject ‘Livingat the edge of disaster’ in which hehighlighted how many regions ofthe world were living literarily onthe brink of water-related disasters,and how the National Committeesof ICID were playing a significantrole in remedying the situation. ThePresident also had discussions withDr. M. Jarraud, Secretary Generalof WMO and Mr. Avinash Tyagi,Director of Hydrology and WaterResources Department for WMO-ICID cooperation, particularly in thefields of hydrology and floodmanagement. ICID will beparticipating in a seminar on‘Managing Risks Posed by ‘Water-Related Hazards for Achieving FoodSecurity’ organized by WMO to beheld in Stockholm, Sweden inAugust <strong>2004</strong>.With the initiative of ICID, Dr. M.Jarraud, Secretary General of WMOdelivered a Keynote speech duringWorld Congress on Natural DisasterMitigation in February <strong>2004</strong> at NewDelhi, India.UNESCOICID has been participating invarious programs of UNESCO,including <strong>International</strong> HydrologicalPrograme (IHP). In the past theexperts from ICID had participatedin IHP Working Groups.The 16 th Session of IHP IntergovernmentalCouncil will be heldin Paris from 20-24 September <strong>2004</strong>for which ICID has received aninvitation. Vice President Alain Vidal(France) will be representing ICIDat the above Session.Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong><strong>International</strong> Network forWater and Ecosystem inPaddy Field (INWEPF)At the occasion of the 3 rd WorldWater Forum, the Ministry ofAgriculture, Forestry and Fisheriesof Japan (MAFF) and Food andAgriculture Organization of theUnited Nations (FAO) co-organisedthe Ministerial Meeting on “Waterfor Food and Agriculture”. MAFFFproposed to set up an <strong>International</strong>Network for Water and Ecosystemin Paddy Field (INWEPF). With aview to promote a network forresearch and effective dialogueusing the experiences concerningpaddy field systems with the AsianMonsoon region as is main target,knowledge on technology forirrigation and productive crops,political tools for financial/economicapproaches, effective integratedmanagement for sustainable wateruse and fulfillment of water multipleroles in rural areas, taking intoaccount regional differences.As a follow-up to the MinisterialDeclaration of WWF-3, Kyoto,JNCID has established a Team onthe Multiple Roles/Diversity ofIrrigation under ASRWG. The WorkTeam will study and quantify multipleroles played by irrigation in a basinwidecontext, and to identifymeasures to enhance positive rolesand mitigate negative impacts. TheWork Team is represented by India,Korea, Iran, Chinese Taipei, IWMIand Japan.ICID cooperates with INWEPF ofthe MAFF and the Work Team andjoined the <strong>International</strong> PreparatoryMeeting in Tokyo on 2-4 February<strong>2004</strong>. Dr. S. Taniyama, VicePresident, ICID and Chairman,ASRWG represented ICID at themeeting.42

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>ICID’S COUNTRY POLICY SUPPORT PROGRAMME (CPSP)Genesis of CPSP<strong>International</strong> <strong>Commission</strong> onIrrigation and Drainage (ICID) hadfacilitated 2nd World Water Forum informulation of World Water Vision on“Water for Food and RuralDevelopment” (WFFRD) for the year2025. While the WFFRD projectedsubstantial increase in the global waterwithdrawal, water storage and irrigationexpansion, the integrated “Overviewvision” prepared by World <strong>Commission</strong>on Water appointed by World WaterCouncil (WWC) did not reflect thisconclusion, thus side stepping issuesidentified as critical to the irrigationsector. It also did not reflect lack ofquantification of water needs for theother two sectors viz. people and naturewhile making large claims. ICIDtherefore decided to clarify themthrough a “Strategy for Implementationof ICID’s Concerns Emanating from theVision” adopted in 2000. As a followupof the above mentioned strategy,ICID launched a proposal in August2002, called “Country Policy SupportProgramme (CPSP)” to provide supportto the water related policies of somemember countries. The CPSP basicallyaims at assessing and integrating waterneeds for three sectors, viz. food,people and nature, for the present andfor the year 2025 with a goal to evolvepolicy interventions.Countries involvedCPSP in its first phase (2002 to <strong>2004</strong>)envisages a detailed study in twocountries viz. China and India, to befollowed-up later in Egypt, Mexico andPakistan. These five countries togethercover 51% of irrigated area and 43%of the world population. The programmeis executed by ICID’s respectiveNational Committees of these fivecountries viz., CNCID (China), INCID(India), ENCID (Egypt), MXCID(Mexico), and PANCID (Pakistan) incoordination with ICID Central Office,New Delhi. The project is funded bySustainable Economic DevelopmentDepartment, National PolicyEnvironment Division, Government ofThe Netherlands.Contributing organizationsThe CPSP is in co-operation with<strong>International</strong> Water ManagementInstitute (IWMI), <strong>International</strong> FoodPolicy Research Institute (IFPRI), Foodand Agriculture Organization (FAO),and The World Bank who make specificcontributions. ICID is a Consortiumpartner in the “Dialogue for Water, Foodand Environment (DWFE)” launchedby 10 international organizations andhosted by IWMI. The outcome of CPSPwill be an important contribution to theDWFE knowledge base.CPSP approach and contentsThe CPSP specifically envisagesaddressing future water scenarios forfood, people and nature sectors in theattempt to consider the needs of thesethree sectors in an integrated mannerin the broader context of integratedwater resources development andmanagement (IWRDM) for sustainablewater use. The approach to achievethe objective comprises – (a)Improvement of Policy Dialogue Model(PODIUM); (b) Carrying outassessment in sample river basins; (c)Holding consultations with thestakeholders at basin and nationallevels; and (d) Briefing the concernedGovernments of participating countriesand funding institutions for takingcognisance of CPSP study resultsappropriately in their policies.Basin studies in India and ChinaTwo river basins each in India andChina were selected for detailedassessment. These basins are -Brahmani (39,268 sq.km), a watersurplus basin on the east coast andSabarmati (21,674 sq.km), a waterdeficit basin on the west coast of India,and Qiantangjiang (55,558 sq.km), awater surplus basin and Jiaodong(20,008 sq.km), a water deficit basin inChina.CPSP ModelA holistic land-use based computermodel has been developed to enableassessment of water resources at basinscale. The model accounts for naturaland anthropogenic interactions withinthe hydrologic cycle, provides an overallwater balance account at basin leveland enables the user to studyalternative scenarios of water resourcedevelopment and management, theirimplications on the water regime andto decide on the policy interventionsthat which facilitate generation ofdesirable scenario.Expected OutcomeØØØØØØImproved “knowledge base” onmajor aspects of integrated waterresources development andmanagement for appropriate policyanalysis;A land and water use integratedhydrologic model of ICID thatconsiders the basin as an unit for:¤ the co-ordinated develop-mentand manage-ment of land andwater related resources¤ the entire hydrologic circle –from precipi-tation, evapotranspirationand outflows toseas (including imports &exports)¤ the integrated approach on theuses of “water for food, waterfor people & water for nature”Improved country specific PODIUMfor its application at basin/ nationallevel along with a comprehensivemanual and training material;trained professionals in the use ofPODIUM;National Consultation Reports forChina and India and possibly forEgypt, Mexico and Pakistan to helpevolve country specific strategiesand policy options to addresspoverty and food security issues;An improved understanding of theoverall water management issuesin China and India through broadbased National Consultations;Suggest country support policiesbased on the objective analysis;extrapolation of scenarios atNational Level to gain an insight on‘water stress basins’ and measuresto ensure.

The workshop was organized incollaboration with Alterra-ILRI. The main objective of theworkshop was to discuss the role of drainage in integratedwater resource management in agriculture and toformulate action plans to define how to convey thesignificance of the drainage to the internationalcommunity, especially non- drainage experts. The mainconclusions of the workshop were presented byDr. Vlotman, Project leader and Mr. Ritzema, Chairman,Scientific and Programme Committee. The workshopwas attended by 120 participants from 25 countries.Eighty five papers and thirty posters were received.There were no formal presentations of the papers, ratherthey provided background information for the discussionsaccording to a new approach called “open-spacetechnology” (OST).Preliminary conclusions, the latest updates and actionplans formulated at IDW9 were posted on theWorkshop website www.ilri.nl. At the end of the<strong>International</strong> Drainage Workshop, following UtrechtDeclaration was issued.Utrecht Declaration“Drainage is an integral part of integrated waterresources management. The role of drainage hasto be communicated better in this broaderperspective, both within and outside the drainagecommunity. The drainage community has to stickout its neck to make the “invisible” visible. As a firststep, 15 action plans have been formulated and theparticipants have committed themselves to theseplans. “Drainage ambassadors for IWRM” shouldbe appointed at international and national levels toget the drainage community more involved in theagenda setting of water policies. Long-termpartnerships with all stakeholders are effectiveconduits for joint action to solve critical watermanagement problems.”<strong>International</strong> Workshop on SustainableDevelopment of Water Resources andManagement and Operation ofParticipatory Irrigation Organizations,10-12 November <strong>2003</strong>, Taipei, TaiwanThe <strong>International</strong> Workshop on Sustainable Developmentof Water Resources and Management and Operation ofParticipatory Irrigation Organizations was held from 10-12 November <strong>2003</strong>, in Taipei, Taiwan. The main topicscovered under the workshop were (1) Management andoperation of participatory irrigation organizations, and(2) Sustainable water resources development. About 81papers from 14 countries were presented during theWorkshop on above topics. Technical tours were alsoorganized. The general conclusions that emerged fromthe workshop are given below:44

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>1. Recognizing the fact that, either in the past or inthe future, rice would remain as the staple foodin the Asian region, the cultivation of paddywould be maintained as the main stream of theactivities of agricultural production in this region.2. In addition to food production, paddy field has itsexternal functions on conservation of ecosystemand environment. In this connection, paddy fieldhas played a very important role in the economicand social aspects in Asia.3. Irrigation is one of the most important inputs topaddy cultivation. Therefore, the adequacy ofirrigation is crucial to paddy production.4. Successful paddy irrigation is characterized byproper infrastructure investment, adequate watermanagement and high degree of water users’participation.5. In terms of irrigation requirement, paddy irrigationquantity is apparently high. However, itsconsumption use is almost similar to non-paddycrops. In this regard, most of the nonconsumptivewater used in paddy field returns tothe Mother Nature including groundwaterrecharge, etc. as to generate its externality.6. The farmer’s participation in irrigationmanagement is essential that leads to thesustainability of irrigation organizations.7. Given the need of food security with affordableprice to the general consumers, appropriategovernment supports to the irrigation utilities isstill needed in most countries of Asia.8. Non-structural approach for water resourcesdevelopment and management should beencouraged to minimize the adverse impactsinduced from structural measures.9. Appropriate conjunctive use of surface and subsurfacewater is deemed to be the optimal solutionto minimize the disasters induced by the overuseof groundwater.10. Experience in many Asian countries shows thatsmall-scale irrigation works significantly haveless adverse impacts on the environment.Workshop onLake Chad Basin - OutcomeA half-day Workshop on “Problems of the Lake ChadBasin” was held on 15 September <strong>2003</strong> at Montpellier,France. ICID President Ir. Keizrul bin Abdullah, ICIDSecretary Mr. K.N. Sharma, Vice Presidents Hon. SafwatAbdel-Dayem and Henri Tardieu and Vice President I.K.Musa were among the participants. In all, 5 papers werepresented including the keynote address by the Ministerof Water Resources, Federal Republic of Nigeria, AlhajiMuhtari Shehu Shagari.In his keynote address, Hon. Minister pledged to supportICID’s drive to generate more membership from Africathrough the African Ministerial Conference on Water,(AMCOW) which he currently Chairs. He also requestedthe ICID to assist the countries of the Lake Chad Basinin their need as was done to a sister basin – the Aral SeaBasin, by elevating it to the status of an ICID Work Teamon Lake Chad.Lake Chad, the second largest wetland in Africa, wasnoted for its importance as an international freshwatersource that depends on Chari Rivers system for about -95% of its supply. The population within the basin,estimated at over 20 million people, living mostly infloodplains covering almost 100,000 km 2 , is faced withprolonged drought and desertification that are attenuatingwater flow in the basin. The basin is <strong>report</strong>ed to hostbiodiversity of global significance while the floodplainssupport a wide range of economic activities such asagriculture, pastoralism, forest regeneration, fishing,and also has tourism potential.The region is characterized by profound situation ofpoverty and environmental fragility. As a consequence,20 million inhabitants have no alternative for their survival,but to overexploit the wetlands and the resources,thereby threatening the basin’s sustainability. Lake Chadis <strong>report</strong>ed to now cover merely 1,350 km 2 down from25,000 km 2 , 40 years ago.The workshop addressed the issues of reduction ofevapotranspiration, interbasin water transfer amongothers, as solution to reverse the degradation of land,water, vegetation, livestock, and human resources,including their resuscitation on a sustainable basis.Establishment of ICID Work Team on Lake Chad Basinwas considered by the IEC. The Nigerian NationalCommittee and African Regional Working Group(AFRWG) were requested to work on the detailedproposal in this regard and place it for considerationduring the Moscow meetings of PCTA/PCSPOA andIEC in September <strong>2004</strong>.Conference on“Land Reclamation and WaterResources Development” – OutcomeAn <strong>International</strong> Conference on “Land Reclamation andWater Resources Development” was held at Mantua,Italy, on 27-29 May <strong>2003</strong>. The event was organized bythe Lombardia Region and the Italian Association ofIrrigation and Land Reclamation Agencies (ANBI), withthe patronage and scientific support of ICID, WWC,45

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>CIGR and EurAgEng. The Conference was attended bymore than 200 participants. The main topics of theConference were; Water resources management foragricultural purposes; Planning and design of drainageand land reclamation systems; Financial and institutionalaspects of drainage and land reclamation frameworks;and Capacity building in drainage and land reclamation.Mr. G. Negri, the Chief of the Organizing Committee,highlighted the scope and objectives of the Conference.Keynote lectures were delivered by Prof. B. Schultz,President Hon. ICID; Prof. D. De Wrachien, President,EurAgEng; Dr. D. Zimmer, Executive Director, WWC;Prof. C. Fasso, Vice President Hon., ICID; Mr. M.Martuccelli, Director, ANBI and Mr. M. Bruschini, DirectorGeneral, Public Works and Water Management of thePo Valley. In all, 40 papers were presented. The majorrecommendations of the conference are:• Drainage and land reclamation are crucial measuresfor achieving sustainable development of bothirrigated and rainfed agriculture throughout theworld. In rainfed agriculture, these measures arerequired to increase and sustain agriculturalproduction by preventing temporary waterloggingand flooding of lowlands. About one-third of theworld’s rainfed cropland would benefit frominvestments in improved drainage.• It was estimated that by 2025, drainage developmentwould increase the world’s food production only by1.0% compared to a projected 50% increase due toirrigation development, meaning that drainage willno longer play the important role in the foodproduction process that it played in past. Theinfrastructure, however, remains crucial formaintaining present food production levels, aswithout drainage, yields from most productive rainfedlands would fall drastically, while a sizeable portionof irrigated land in the arid zone is likely to getwaterlogged/ salinized wasteland unless properlymanaged.• Most of the world’s drainage and land reclamationfacilities were developed on a step-by-step basisover the centuries and were designed for a long lifei.e. 50 years or more, on the assumption thatpresent climate will prevail. However, there may besome climate change in the years to come, due toglobal warming and the greenhouse effect.Engineers and decision-makers, therefore, mayhave to systematically assess & prepare for likelychanges by reviewing existing planning principles,design criteria, operating rules, contingency plansand water management policies.• The challenge is to identify short-term strategies toface long-term uncertainties, if any. The question isnot what is the best course for a project over thenext fifty years or more, but rather, what is the bestdirection for the next few years, knowing that aprudent hedging strategy will allow time to learn andchange course.2 nd <strong>International</strong> Workshop onWise Use and EnvironmentalConservation of the Tidal Areasheld on 17 September <strong>2003</strong> AtMontpellier, FranceThe 2 nd <strong>International</strong> Workshop on SustainableDevelopment of Tidal Areas (SDTA) was held on 17September <strong>2003</strong> during the 54 th IEC meeting atMontpellier. The workshop was titled “Wise Use andEnvironmental Conservation of the Tidal Areas”. Itwas organized in cooperation with Korean NationalCommittee of ICID (KCID) who had publishedWorkshop Proceedings and the French NationalCommittee of ICID (AFEID) who provided equipmentand facilities, etc. The workshop was attended by28 participants. The following issues were addressedduring the workshop:• Operation and maintenance issues in reclaimedarea.• Physical and biotic characteristics in the tidal areas.• Water quality characteristics of tidal swamps,estuaries and reclaimed areas• Case studies on environmental conservation andsustainable development of tidal areas.Dr. S. Taniyama, Vice-President of ICID delivered aninvited speech on “Sustainable Development for TidalAreas: The Case Study of Japan”. Ir. Jonathan Simm(UK) and Ir. Henk P. Ritzema (The Netherlands) gavekeynote speeches on the outline of the Handbook onSDTA. The participants were requested to comment onthe proposed contents of the handbook, furthermore,the members of the working group were also asked tospecify their contributions in preparing the handbook.After the keynote speeches, four papers were presented.The participants were requested to review thepresented papers and possibly classify them as perthe Chapters proposed in the Handbook. Thesereviews will also be used to improve upon the contentof the papers for the next workshop which will be heldat Moscow in September <strong>2004</strong>.The proceedings, prepared with the support of theKorean National Committee (KCID), were distributed tothe WG members.46

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>2 nd Asian Regional Conference,14-17 March <strong>2004</strong>, Moama Nsw, AustraliaAustralian National Committee (ANCID) organized the2nd Asian Regional Conference from 14 to17 March<strong>2004</strong> at Moama, Australia. About 150 delegates from 18ICID member countries attended the Conference. Thetheme for the conference was “Irrigation in a TotalCatchment Context – Sharing the River”. The conferencewas opened by Mr. Warren Truss, Australian FederalMinister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. TheKeynote Speech was made by Mr. Angus Duncan,President and CEO of the Bonneville EnvironmentalFoundation in Portland, Oregon, USA.The new ICID book “The Indus Basin – History ofIrrigation and Drainage and Flood Control” was releasedin the Opening Ceremony by the Hon’ble Minister ofAgriculture, Australia Mr. Warren Truss. Mr. R.Jeyaseelan, Vice President of ICID and Chairman,Indian National Committee (INCID) introduced the bookwhich was a joint effort of the National Committees ofIndia and Pakistan. ANCID launched a web basedDecision Support System for determining economicalsolutions to channel seepage problems on the occasion.Dr. Shigetaka Taniyama, President, Japanese NationalCommittee (JNC-ICID) and Vice President, ICID madea presentation on the Japanese experience relating tothe distribution of catchment Water, especially foragricultural use, in the Asian monsoon region. Mr. DonBlackmore, CEO of the Murray Darling Basin<strong>Commission</strong> made presentation on “Water – Managingthe Future”. In all 40 papers were presented in 14technical sessions.At the conclusion of the conference, the followingrecommendations were made.Recommendation 1When planning and developing infrastructure projectsit is essential to involve all stakeholders and introduceappropriate economic pricing policies, legal, socialand cultural considerations to ensure long termsustainability of projects.Specific issues include• Water pricing policy should reflect scarcity and cost ofproject development• Legal provisions must be set out for institutional reform,separating regulatory and service provision and ensurecompliance with system operation rules by users andservice providers and to capture water savings througha system of appropriate water entitlements• Provisions should be made for financial assistanceprograms to ensure that community service obligationsare met• Water pricing must take account of social policyobjectives. In developing countries, poverty alleviationoften forms part of the objectives pursued by waterresource management initiatives. This is oftenaddressed by a tiered pricing approach that reflects athreshold for basic human and production needs.Recommendation 2Appropriate scale considerations must be made tointegrate irrigation systems into the whole of thecatchment. Failure to take the scale into account insystem design and management can have adverseconsequences at the catchment level.Specific issues include:• Recognition of complexity beyond supply and on-farmsystems• In multi-jurisdictional river basins, water allocation musttake into account the whole-of-basin resources andconsumption• Farm water losses are often not water losses at allwhen considered at the catchment level, in fact theyoften supply diversion needs downstream.• Monitoring of catchment processes must be doneholistically to understand the sources and sinks ofnutrients and pollution in order to design appropriatemanagement strategies• Political division often hampers data collection andintegration of databases. It is often the case thatdifferent political jurisdictions use different approachesand formats to collect catchment data, e.g. land andwater management plans, or data may not be sharedfreely.• There are impediments to expanding water trademarkets due to inconsistent water entitlement systemsacross political boundaries.Recommendation 3A full economic, environmental and social impactanalysis must be undertaken before embarking oninfrastructure programsSpecific issues include:• Ageing infrastructure needs replacement and adequateprovision must be made for it. Gov’t policy differs in thisregard as to what costs are to be charged to users, e.g.O&M and/or capital costs• Surface and groundwater pumping projects• For water recycling projects to succeed financially,more attention is to be focused on the commercialaspects of the project47

Annual Report <strong>2003</strong>-<strong>2004</strong>Recommendation 4Catchment planning and management decisionsshould be underpinned by rigorous scientific research,information and skill development.Specific issues include:• Environmental studies should underpin environmentalflow decisions• Use of the modern methods are now available to tracesources and sinks of pollutants• Modelling analysis should reflect and integrate theconnections between groundwater and surface watersystems and be standardized• Modern research techniques such as remote sensingcan help offset the lack of data (climate) in some partsof the region• Metering of water supply should form part of all irrigationand drainage system operations.54 th IEC Meeting and 20 th European RegionalConference Concluded at Montpellier, FranceThe 54 th meeting of <strong>International</strong> Executive Council(IEC), 20 th European Regional Conference, and otherworkshops were successfully held at Montpellier, Francefrom 14-19 September <strong>2003</strong>.

Havingvarious usages (drinking water, fishery, crop irrigation,energy, navigation, water sports, etc.), water has to beshared among various stakeholders who do not havethe same objectives and priorities. In developingcountries, the increasing demand is mostly related to astrong demography. In Eastern Europe, the changes ineconomic and social organization of the recent yearshas modified and diversified agricultural and industrialwater uses, yielding new water use conflicts. Thesewater use conflicts were the main issues of the 20 thEuropean Regional Conference held at Montpellier,France, from 14-17 September <strong>2003</strong>. The mainconclusions of the conference were as follows :• The historical analysis of the evolution of watermanagement shows the permanent nature ofwater and land use conflicts. It also shows theevolving nature of conflicts and of the resultingpriorities.• The strategies to avoid conflicts are threefold : (i)Modernise networks by integrating localrequirements, advices and know-how, and bysetting up an appropriate institutional framework;(ii) Clarify the source of conflict : insufficientwater resource, non compatible requirements,society background, management failure, nonrespect of rules; and (iii) Use research to assistthe analysis of conflicts and the consensusbuilding.• Three types of conflict resolution tools wereidentified: (i) negotiation support tools andinformation tools, (ii) technical, economic andinstitutional tools, and (iii) adapted organizationframeworks.• Negotiation support tools and information toolsare still under theoretical research orexperimentation.• Although, water users associations aredeveloping,they fail to address the poor quality ofthe irrigation service. Strengthening these isnecessary to solve water resource conflicts.World Water Day CelebrationsGreat Britain (BNC-ICID)The fifth ICID British Section Research Day was held atHR Wallingford on 3rd April <strong>2003</strong>, to mark the WorldWater Day.
