The PDO will be achieved through: (a) increasing irrigation water use efficiency and all other ways possible to effectively use water under a cap of water consumption; (b) reducing water pollution discharges under a cap of environment capacity and (c) increasing ecological river flows. The above measures will minimize the negative impacts on the ecosystem of Bohai Sea, contributing to the achievement of global environmental benefits (GEBs). Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

All 14 studies have been under preparation including preparation of Manual/Guidelines for IWEM. Two out of four policy recommendations based on the results of the studies have been included in the policy papers issued by MWR and MEE; Component 2 - Demonstration in Hai Bain on IWEM: 29% of GEF Grant (US$2.85 million) for this component has been completed. In the demonstration areas of Cheng-De and Shi-Jia-Zhuang, there have been reductions of 3,230 tons of COD and 219 tons of NH3-N from zero baseline; the average water productivity increased from 1.10 baseline to 1.20 kg/m3; and reduction of 54.12 million cubic meters of groundwater overdraft from zero baseline; Component 3 - Scaling up the IWEM Approach in Three River Basins: 52% of the GEF Grant (US$3.55 million) for this component has been completed. This component has been implemented with IWEM approach managed by MWR in Shi-Jin Irrigation Scheme of Hai River Basin and He- Tao Irrigation Scheme of Yellow River Basin, and by MEE PMO in Xing-Tai, Tang-Shan and Lang-Fang of Hai River Basin. The scaling up activities in Liao River Basin is under planning by MEE PMO. The results are under monitoring and will be available by around June 2021; and Component 4 - Institutional Capacity Building and Project Management: 44% of the GEF Grant (US$1.9 million) has been completed for this component. Training, workshops and domestic and overseas study tours have been conducted to strengthen the institutional capacity in the PMOs of MEE, MWR and Hebei Province as planned. The next mission or the 7th supervision mission is tentatively planned in April 2021.
