The Land and Water Conservation Project was the only one of the three projects to focus on water resources management, and was the first Bank project to do so. The project piloted technologies to conserve rural water and land and forest resources. Its most important achievement was to successfully pilot an advanced groundwater irrigation technology which saved about 25 percent of water. Given the water crisis, the project was highly relevant. Efficacy was substantial as it broadly achieved its main physical objectives, but implementation was inefficient as management costs were significantly higher than planned. Taking all three of the above factors into account overall outcome was satisfactory. The project had an effective large scale training program in the new technologies, but otherwise did not strengthen institutions, and institutional development was modest. Sustainability is rated likely as Government commitment to the LWCP technology is evidenced by the launching since LWCP closure of two follow-on projects. Staff continuity has also been better than expected. Bank and Borrower performance were both satisfactory. (Paper of The World Bank) 11
