Presented by IWMI's Ian Makin at the Central Asia Water Future Forum and Expo held on September 19-23, 2016 at Rixos Hotel in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

1. INTEGRATED BASIN TOOLS TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY,
PRODUCTIVITY, AND RESILIENCE

2. • ABCDE+F framework for basin water management
• Integrated Models
• Integrating Models into decision making
Overview

3. ABCDE+F Framework for analysis of water management
(Perry. 2013)
A. Accounting for the available resources
B. Bargaining through political process to determine priorities and
allocations
C. Codification of the agreed priorities and allocations into rules,
statutes and laws
D. Delegation of implementation to appropriate institutions and agencies
E. Engineering to deliver the agreed services
F. Feedback or the cycle of policy and performance adjustment for
elements A to E.

4. ABCDE+F Framework for analysis of water management
(Perry. 2013):
A. Accounting for the available resources
B. Bargaining through political process to determine priorities and
allocations
C. Codification of the agreed priorities and allocations into rules,
statutes and laws
D. Delegation of implementation to appropriate institutions and agencies
E. Engineering to create the necessary infrastructure to deliver the
agreed services
F. Feedback or the cycle of policy and performance adjustment for
elements A to E.

5. Water Accounting  about availability
• Where it is and in which quantities ?
• In what quality
• How it is being used  where water
goes!
• Integrated use of all types of water
• Including use by Ecosystems
Water Accounting

6. WATER ACCOUNTING +
• Tracks water depletions rather than
withdrawals and goes beyond flow and
run-off accounting
• Provides consistent and coherent data
sets that integrate hydrological
processes with water management and
the services and benefits from water
consumption

7. BARGAINING
• Is about allocating among users, seeking to meet their
needs in terms of:
– quality, quantity, and
– when and where
• deciding on how water will be used in future
– Models enable stakeholders to explore and debate
how water can be used

10. CODIFICATION
• Translates water allocation to codes of
conduct for stakeholders in terms of water use
and return flows
• Agreements on tariff, penalties, audit, etc
• Determines needs for physical monitoring at
key locations (How much, When, Where)

11. DELEGATION
• AUTHORIZING various levels of management
– From regional to national to local operators
• All stakeholders must be represented in water
management decisions

12. ENGINEERING
• Hardware – structures
• Involve combinations of basin hydrology
models and detailed hydraulic models of flood
plains and structures

13. FEED BACK
• Back to water
accounting to
determine if
planned allocation
really happening!

14. INTEGRATED BASIN TOOLS TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY,
PRODUCTIVITY, AND RESILIENCE
• Data is only useful if it is used
• Models use data to enable new insights
• ABCDE+F provides a framework to integrate models
in the process of basin management and operations

productivity, and resilience
