Ratings for the Water Conservation Project in China were as follows: outcomes were highly satisfactory, the risk to development outcome was moderate, the Bank performance was satisfactory, and the Borrower performance was highly satisfactory. Lessons learned included: 1) Where the correct responses to water stress are not evident, a demonstration project linked to decision making about broader policy and investment is a powerful approach. It is recommended that, where the institutional conditions are right, innovations in water resource management should be tested through a demonstration project, and then scaled up; 2) A comprehensive approach giving priority to farmer incentives can increase farmer incomes and reduce water consumption; 3) The success of water users association (WUAs) stems, in part, from the clear establishment principles adopted: democratic self organized Associations based on hydraulic boundaries, measuring and charging for water on a volumetric basis. Other factors in success were: (a) flexibility in approach and adaptation to local social, economic and political conditions; (b) the inclusion of farmers from the very start in sub-project design, so that the Associations grew as the sub-project developed; (c) the transfer to the Associations of real control and responsibility over water structures; (d) the incentive framework, with farmers in Associations seeing their incomes rise significantly faster; and (e) the commitment and enthusiasm of both the Ministry of Water Resources and local government; 4) The approach targeting reduction in consumptive water use and based on evapo-transpiration can be a powerful instrument for water management in conditions of extreme water stress.
