season, frequent violent conflicts between farmers in the Buyant River Delta appear.<br />
Furthermore, conflicts between crop farmers and herders, who use the water to irrigate<br />
hayfields or need water for livestock, areincreasing as well.<br />
In addition there are many impoverished households in the four sums who would like to take<br />
up irrigated farming, if they gain access to land and water and in Buyant sum a Chinese<br />
investor has signed a contract to cultivate up to 500 ha for cereal cultivation. Thus, water<br />
scarcity and conflicts are expected to rise, if no measures to use, store and distribute water<br />
resources efficiently are implemented and fair access to land and water is guaranteed.<br />
As the scientific results of the research on irrigation agriculture in the Buyant river delta<br />
support a rehabilitation of Janjin Boolt headwork the aimag administration has already started<br />
to rebuild Janjin Boolt headwork with money received from the state budget in Ulaanbaatar.<br />
It is expected that the storage of irrigation water and its four distribution to Khovd and Buyant<br />
sum can already start in spring2007 (see Photo 9).<br />
