In occasion of IPTRID's Assistant Programme
Manager mission in Canada in December 2004, a presentation
was made to both Brace Center and McGill University staff
dealing with irrigation and drainage issues.
A verbal agreement has been reached so that both Canadian
institutions will continue collaborating with the Programme, the nature and extent of this support is to be decided
in the coming months.

Role within IPTRID's activities:
Towards
a strategy for sustainable irrigated agriculture with feasible
investment in drainage, Aral Sea Basin, Central Asia
(on-going project)
Within the frame of the Project, Mc Gill University
& Brace Center contribute with a Report which provides an assessment
of the status of drainage conditions in the irrigated areas
of five Central Asian countries.
The Report provides projections for future status considering
selected drainage improvement scenarios based on assumptions
and best estimates. Primary considerations in the strategy development include identifying
the scale, priorities, selection criteria, specific rehabilitation
schemes, institutional strengthening and the participation and
contribution of all stakeholders.
