The objectives of the Water Circularity and Efficiency Improvement Project are: (a) to improve wastewater services and reuse; (b) to increase irrigation services and efficiency; and (c) to strengthen institutional capacity and coordination for managing water circularity and point source pollution reduction in selected water-stressed areas in Turkiye. There are four components to the project. The first component being wastewater collection, treatment, and reuse. This component includes three subcomponents: construction and upgrade of wastewater collectors and treatment plants with reuse and resource recovery potential; technical support for preparation and implementation of investments in wastewater treatment; and institutional strengthening, capacity building, innovation and gender. The second component is the rehabilitation, construction, and modernization of irrigation systems. This component includes four subcomponents: conversion of open mains, secondary, and tertiary canals to pressurized pipelines and rehabilitation of associated infrastructure; installation of irrigation hydrants and smart water meters to the piped irrigation systems; feasibility studies and designs for wastewater tertiary disinfection units and associated irrigation water distribution networks for reclaimed wastewater conveyance; and provision of technical support to participating WUAs. The third component is the institutional strengthening, capacity building, and innovation for irrigation services and implementation of circular principles in water. This component includes five subcomponents: study and roadmap for strengthening reused wastewater financing and regulatory mechanisms; stakeholder and citizen engagement activities for activities implemented through DSI; energy audits for irrigation systems; capacity building, training, and innovation; and support for piloting an irrigation scheme under PPP Arrangement. Finally, the fourth component is the project management.
