Türkiye Second Irrigation Modernization and Water Efficiency Project

About this project

Turkiye's agriculture, heavily reliant on irrigation, faces challenges from climate change, necessitating modernization of irrigation systems to enhance efficiency and resilience. The government aims to increase irrigation efficiency from 50% in 2023 to 60% by 2030 to address water scarcity and ensure food security. The project will improve irrigation service and water efficiency for approximately 72,000 ha, serving around 50,000 households (farms), or approximately 200,000 beneficiaries. Beneficiaries also include staff from DSI's regional offices and staff from WUAs through capacity building on managing water resources efficiently, adopting climate-smart agricultural practices, and ensuring sustainable irrigation management. the PDO of the Project is to improve irrigation service delivery and water efficiency, to enhance resilience to climate change in selected irrigation schemes. The Project has three components:Component 1: Irrigation System Rehabilitation and Modernization This component will finance critical climate adaptation investments to modernize DSI's (General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works) irrigation systems in selected schemes, building on successful activities from the ongoing TIMP. By investing in the reduction of climate-induced water (evaporation and seepage) losses in the irrigation conveyance and distribution system, and ensuring equitable water allocation among downstream and upstream farmers, this component will enhance the irrigation subsector's…
