Lesson
Systematic monitoring and collection of the traffic volume data is critical input to support the needs for complementary transport planning, traffic management, and transport policy to promote long-term sustainable transport. Road investments alone cannot ensure that urban sustainability objectives are achieved. Complementary measures are needed to offset the adverse impacts of rapid motorization in addition to infrastructure provision for urban transport. Transport planning also needs to be linked to urban land use planning, urban development, and infrastructure planning.

Proper formulation of training components is necessary to effectively build the capacity of institutions and meet priority needs. Providing resources for a program that is not well developed usually results in poor use of resources as priorities for use of resources do not often match additional skill requirements. An important lesson from the assessment is a need for more attention to the implementation of institutional components during project supervision as physical components are a natural priority of implementing agencies.

It is important for urban transport projects to factor in adequate measures to address sustainability issues which can positively affect the project outcomes on the ground in the long term. Attaining sustainability is important in rapidly growing urban areas where rising population levels, increased motorization and economic activity combine to produce conditions that can adversely impact sustainability and erode the benefits of urbanization and quality of life.

There is no one-size-fits-all model. The project reservoir rehabilitation and management model need to be customized to suit the reservoir requirements of other provinces. Sharing the model and project experience will allow other provinces to utilize the model as a best reference and customize it to their own conditions. This would be useful for them in developing their own site-specific plans.

Increasing O&M budget and capacity are necessary for maintaining dam durability. Adequate O&M budgets should be secured in the province to make the rehabilitated and other reservoirs and facilities sustainable. Strengthening O&M capacity is necessary to develop preventive measures and provide robust preparedness for disaster risks.

Flood control measures mitigate impact of extreme weather events. Functional linkage of dams and discharge channels is crucial for effective flood control. Rehabilitating nonproject reservoirs inclusive of the discharge channels below the reservoir dams is necessary to mitigate flood impact. A dam and discharge channels below it need to be designed and managed as an integrated hydraulic system. For a similar project in the future, the full scope should be explicitly specified at the design stage, even though future projects might be covered by domestic funds.
