1 image/pjpeg DSCN7180.JPG 26285 Description of project The Alborz Integrated Land and Water Management Project will introduce basin-wide integrated land and water resources management (IWRM) in the basin of the Babol, Talar and Siah rivers. A major development in the basin is the construction of the Alborz Dam on the Babol River. The main changes and challenges in the river basin are upland catchment protection, new surface irrigation development following the construction of the Alborz Dam, management of urban water use and protection of water quality and minimum flows for aquatic biodiversity. The project will assist the Government of Iran in piloting basin-wide integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the Alborz Basin so that the lessons learned can be replicated in the rest of the country. <br /> The project includes four main technical assistance consultancies for the five project components: (i) for the development of a master plan for the management of the upper watershed (Component 1), (ii) for support to the irrigation and drainage component (Component 2), (iii) for promoting integrated water, and environmental management (Components 3 and 4), and (iv) for project management support (Component 5). The present Project Management Support Consultancy concerns this last component. The consultants will provide project implementation and coordination support to the Central Liaison Office (CLO) and the Project Implementation Units (PIUs) including monitoring and evaluation (M&amp;E) activities.<br /> Government of Iran Asia Euroconsult Mott MacDonald: € 2,170,000 Iran, Islamic Republic of 2009-07-21T13:59:04+02:00 The Islamic Republic of Iran is facing declining water availability and quality, low efficiencies in water use, salinity and waterlogging, inadequate O&M and cost recovery and lack of institutional coordination. In addition, soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in most of the country’s watersheds. The Alborz Integrated Land and Water Management Project (AILWMP) in Mazandaran Province will pilot a basin-wide integrated water resources management to address the above issues. The lessons learned can be replicated in other parts of the country. 1 25 29.2288900301942 Iran 54.84375 6 Providing support to the project’s Central Liaison Office and its two PIUs for planning, management, reporting, communication, capacity building, M&E and economic analysis.
