More than 8,000 large multi-purpose water infrastructures (MPWIs) around the world contribute to economic development, as well as water, food and energy security. MPWIs encompass all human-made water systems including dams, dykes, reservoirs and associated irrigation canals and water supply networks. Focused on the Shardara MPWI located in Low Syr-Darya Basin, South Kazakhstan and Kyzyl-Orda oblasts (provinces) of Kazakhstan, this case study, Strengthening Shardara Multi-Purpose Water Infrastructure in Kazakhstan, looks at the choice and design of MPWI investment strategies that ensure a high economic return on investments and potential bankability. The study is based on application of a computer model and incorperates lessons learned from 15 additional MPWIs.
