Some of these programs include:
Case study #1: Central Asia - International Water Management Institute – Central Asia and Caucasus Sub Office (IWMI-CAC).
The "Best Practices" project of IWMI-CAC was designed to promote programs that both save water and bring water to wider circles of users. These principles were applied in Central Asia, where economic development has not been strong enough to implement programs of improvements to irrigation - drainage infrastructure in the context of counteracting the Aral Sea Crisis. The primary strategy was to encourage water users themselves to apply inexpensive technology and measures to save water. During the first stage of the project, 11 district water management organizations, eight water users’ associations, and 42 collective farms, joint-stock companies, private farms located in the upper, middle, and low reaches of the Syr-Darya River basin were participating in the project.
