The project structured within certain components and component 1 addresses unrationalized and unsustainable use of water resources, the negative impacts of which are exacerbated from climate change risks. The project will develop a collaborative framework for efficient water management involving multi-stakeholders' engagement, considering agriculture needs but also the necessary ecological flows needed for the preservation of lakes wetlands and riparian zones in the LADAB. The project aims to develop a comprehensive hydro-economic model using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system to optimize water allocation among multiple users in the LADAB. The model relies on detailed economic and environmental data to evaluate how different water management scenarios affect agricultural productivity and ecosystem services. To support the development of the model, comprehensive data is needed on capital expenditures (CAPEX), operational expenditures (OPEX), water pricing, agricultural costs and revenues, and ecosystem service valuation in the LADAB region. This assignment seeks an experienced Environmental Economist for monetary valuation of key ecosystem services in the Amudarya Delta, assessing their benefits for livelihoods and economic sectors. |
