Technology transfer and knowledge development in support of innovation in EE water management and SLMEnhancement of the national knowledge base and delivery of new technical information on appropriate technology for irrigation, pumps, and solar-powered water pumping and purification to water management agency staff and farmersNew processes established and implemented for planning, deployment, and financial assessment both before and after deployment of integrated water resource management, pump audits and maintenance, and solar-powered water pumping and purification Direct energy savings, water savings, and reduction of land degradation from selected projects

1. Reduction of yearly energy consumption per ha of irrigated land (J/ha/year)
2. Reduction of GHG emissions (tonnes)
3. Reduction of normalised water consumption (m3/year)
4. Area of land protected and/or reclaimed from salinisation (# ha)
5. Regulatory documents directly related to efficient water use or energy consumption/ savings leading to GHG reductions are adopted at national and sub-national level and implementation started (#)
6. Resources and co-funding mobilised by the Project from state and other sources on water and energy efficiency, as well as land reclamation techniques (US$)
7. Number of people directly benefiting from measures on better water management, efficient water use, energy saving and land degradation in Turkmenistan
10. Number of pump audits completed by project: total and (diesel pumps)
11. Energy saving achieved by replacement and/or fixing of old pumps (%)
12. Area of land protected or reclaimed from salinisation as a result of demonstration projects (# ha)
13. Number of people directly benefiting from measures on renewable-energy water supply in remote locations
8. Reduction of water used for specific soil types (m3/ha/year)
9. Normalised energy consumption reduced (compared with average values for similar soil types)
14. Reduction in water loss between withdrawal and entrance point of the Kaakhka town Water Treatment facility (%).
15. Direct energy savings due to decommissioning of up to 41 wells (MWh/year)
16. Number of similar projects initiated in in other similar (or mountainous areas) districts of Akhal and Balkan velayats of Turkmenistan.
17. Number of production lines established (from at least 3 potential options) to produce materials for modern canal linings and pipes and kilometres of canals newly lined
18. Number of regional Integrated Water Distribution Plans developed and formally submitted for approval
19. Number of participants and new content of training seminars
20. Number of regulations, norms, and/or standards developed and adopted in support of the new Water Code
21. There is a formal commitment of the government to allocate resources for demonstrated by the project technologies (e.g. inclusion in state-funded programmes and budgets) (Yes/No).
22. Programme for water measurement is developed and made operational at focus demonstrational sites (Yes/No).

Scaling-up investment in improved water management infrastructureReduction of water losses and associated energy consumption via direct investment in a large-scale infrastructure project on municipal water supplyTechnical, environmental, and financial justification to scale-up investment in canal linings and/or other widespread infrastructure improvements to reduce water losses, associated energy consumption, and land degradation

Planning and capacity-building at the regional and local levels, plus evaluation and compilation of lessons learnedRegion-specific technologies and investments for IWRM and SLM approved according to new Technology Action Plans in all five velayatsInstitutional/human capacity for implementing IWRM and SLM utilized and sustained among farmers and local/regional water management officials in all five velayats, via training on best practices as well as compilation and delivery of lessons learned

National policy and regulatory framework established for integrated water resource managementRegulations on pump performance and maintenance adopted and enforcedOperational system established for measuring end-use water consumption Regulations adopted for the staged onset of tariffs for end use of water Policies and budget allocations adopted in support of expanded investment in improved irrigation and water infrastructure
