Lesson
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.

Lesson
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.

Lesson
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.

Project Name: Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project
Report Date:
Lesson
Projects aimed at achieving ecological and biodiversity gains, in this case for migratory birds and wetland species, face significant monitoring challenges that should not be underestimated. Careful consideration of these challenges is required at the design phase of the project in terms of resources, training and technology.
