Recent studies funded by the OFID under Phase I-IV of this project exposed the potential for storing seasonal and temporary originating excessive water flows in the aquifers of the Fergana Valley, located in the Syrdarya River upstream. Potential and free capacities were determined to store excessive water flows in the aquifers and technologies were identified for recovery the stored water for agricultural use. However to upscale these technological interventions to the basin scale this study to be continued for different environments of the Syrdarya River and Amudarya River basins.
The project objectives is increase awareness on the most problematic environmental issues in water management, environmental governance and climate change (CC) to enhance regional and EU-CA cooperation and partnership

The main goal of the project is to conserve and restore the tugai ecosystem in the Tigrovaja Balka area in Tajikistan, providing a model for sustainable management of freshwater ecosystems in the Amudarya river basin, which includes Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan – one of the two major watersheds of Central Asia. In order to facilitate socio-economic development of local communities and to restore the unique ecosystem of riparian forests, a range of measures are required, including normalizing water patterns in the ecosystem and the surrounding agricultural lands through implementing water-saving technologies in agriculture.
The project developed the capacity of the Zapovednik, including building scientific knowledge on the reserve, enhancing management capacity, zonation and management planning, developing active and effective ranger patrolling, and raising the profile of the reserve while helping to identify diversified sources of finance.
The project aims to improve conservation impact in Tajikistan by increasing the capacity of current and future conservation professionals through establishing a conservation skills training programme and promoting applied conservation research.
