Closed

The Java Irrigation Improvement and Water Resources Management Project has six objectives: a) it will support the institutional reforms and basin focused operations which foster integrated water resources management; b) it will continue the Bank support started under earlier projects; c) expand the Irrigation Service Fee program for cost recovery; d) privatize small public schemes; e) support the implementation of remedial works; and f) it will complete technically and economically viable rehabilitation of as yet unimproved public irrigation systems. The project components are: 1) support for policy and institutional reform for integrated water resources management; river basin planning in three basins; and improved real-time water management operations in five basins; 2) strengthening hydrological data and information systems; 3) support for special maintenance of small irrigation schemes; 4) irrigation rehabilitation, expansion and upgrading, and remedial works; 5) introduction of sustainable, efficient operation and maintenance to avoid the need for repeat rehabilitation; and 6) the expansion of Irrigation Service Fees to schemes above 500 ha in size in all remaining areas of Java to establish user-pays systems and support operation and maintenance.
