networks, planning zones, and states, and at the boundaries of branch interests 
(drinking water supply, irrigation, power engineering, industry, and the environment), 
with managerial variable elements such as “water,” “salt,” and “energy.” The set 
should allow us to make water–salt balance, power, and economic calculations 
(effects, damages, and compensation), assess electric energy flows and fuel delivery

between the states, make effective decisions on water resources management, and 
predict conflict situations and interstate agreement violations among the states.

Figure A.1. Management levels and logical links within a set of models 
Note. Logical links between the models on the scheme are: 
1. Regional hydrological indicators of sustainable development and indicators of ecological 
consequences of water resources management. 
2. 
Agricultural production, economy, social-demographic indicators, investments. 
3. 
Power engineering (requirements, production, impacts, damages, compensations). 
4, 5. Diversion from transboundary rivers, return flow, diverted water productivity. 
6. 
Available water resources, diversion from rivers, water reservoirs and power plants operation 
mode. 
7, 8. Power plant modes 
9. 
Restrictions on water reservoir filling to the end of year (season). 
NOTES 
1. Kyrgyzenergo has now been restructured as separate power production, power 
transferring, and power distributing bodies. 
2. This view was expressed in a survey of more than 250 participants in multi-stakeholder 
workshops and training in the ICWC Training Center.
