Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to bank documents, the proposed project objective is "to improve dam safety and strengthen institutional capacity for enhanced operational performance of selected existing dams in participating states."

"The proposed project would cover 18 States –Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal and two Central agencies (Central Water Commission and BBMB). The States were selected based on their interest in establishing State dam safety programs and their readiness to engage in the project ...."

"The proposed project would comprehensively address State-level dam safety concerns in the participating States (including institutional reforms and modernization, instrumentation, etc.), although the investments in dam rehabilitation will be limited to selected dams in each State. Approximately 300 dams will be taken up for rehabilitation under the project. The dams were preliminarily selected based on multiple criteria following the CWC’s Guidelines for Assessing and Managing Risks Associated with Dams, 2019.

The components of the project will broadly fall into four categories: (i) institutional reform and modernization; (ii) financing arrangements and revenue generation for sustainable dam management; (iii) risk-based management of dam assets; and (iv) rehabilitation of dams and appurtenant structures. Each is discussed in turn."
