Project information
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.
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&E) activities.
