This report follows a successful completion of the ICWC Water Resources Management Training Centre's Workshop on "Drainage and irrigated agriculture problems in arid zones" that was held on April 21-25, 2003 in the ICWC Training Centre in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Organization of the scheduled workshop on "Drainage and Irrigated Agriculture problems in arid zones" was conditioned by the increasing necessity for dissemination of available practical and scientific-research knowledge, which had been accumulated in five Central Asian countries during the period of their economic transition to market relations in water and agricultural sectors, which in turn was aggravated with the severe impact of drought period for the past few years and necessity to implement advanced water saving technologies and develop recommendations on rehabilitation of drainage systems.
The program and topics of the workshop that had gone through the approval process by the ICWC and USAID were oriented at creating suitable conditions for exchange of advantageous experiences and ideas for solving the problems of drainage systems operation and irrigated agriculture between the specialists practitioners and scientists - employees of the high and middle levels of water management organizations from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Among the participants of the workshop were representatives of the ameliorative departments of water and agricultural organizations (see Attachment 1 for full list of participants). Activities of the workshop were covered by mass media.
