include forms of review, but these would not be independent. Independent review usually isrelated to contested decisions for which an independent international panel is called upon. Theneed for independency would then be conflicting with involvement in the process as a coach. Thisis not the case for this particular planning process or SEA.Time frameThe figure below depicts some of the relations between various processes. With respect to timing,the formulation of the EKN’s IWRM support programme can start as planned with the arrival of thethematic expert in early 2013. However, it is recommended to wait for that Master Plan beforeprogramme formulation is finalised, so that consistency of the EKN’s IWRM programme with theMaster Plan can be checked in order to achieve maximum alignment.While formulation can start as soon as desired, this consistency check of the EKN IWRM supportprogramme with the Master Plan can only take place when the Master Plan is available. This isprojected for October 2013 40 . Exact timing of the Master Plan development process remains a bitunclear. This issue is addressed in more detailed in the ToR for the SEA for this Master Plan, inparagraph 5.2.feb-13 mrt-13 apr-13 mei-13 jun-13 jul-13 aug-13 sep-13 okt-13 nov-13 dec-13EKN Plan developmentSEA for EKN support programmeSEA for Master Plan input ? input ? final assessmentSEAs for catchment plansMaster Plan processphase 1: exploratory phase xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxphase 2: Master Plan phasexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxworkshops/reports X1 X validation X X X XX1 : N.B.

5.2 ToR for SEA for the Water Resources Master PlanIntroductionThe Water Resources Management Strategy is at present being translated into a comprehensiveNational Water Resources Master Plan (Master Plan), available in draft in June 2013. The MasterPlan process fully integrates and operationalises the principles of IWRM. An impressive amount ofwork is being carried out by an international team of consultants and a similarly impressiveamount of information will become available.The objectives of the Master Plan are to:- Quantify available water resources (surface & ground, in time and space) (including waterbalance per (sub)catchment with monthly resolution);- Quantify water resources demand by sector and catchment;- Identify surplus and deficit areas in time and space;- Propose a management plan for optimal and rational utilization;The initial 20 year time horizon with monthly and seasonal resolution will, according to theinception plan, be expanded to 30 years, considering intermediate situations in years 2020, 2030and 2040.According to the ToR the Master Plan 41 should include surface and groundwater managementplans; rainwater harvesting plan; monitoring plan; institutional and organisational strengtheningplan; operation and maintenance plan. However, in the view of SHER consultants, the presentationof these ‘sub’ master plans is not appropriate from an integrated water resources managementpoint of view. A water master plan should maintain the holistic nature of IWRM and aim at theoptimum allocation of available resources in each catchment or, when needed, transferredbetween catchments. In general these resources also have interdependencies (surfacegroundwaterinteractions) that cannot be dealt with in separate studies. Therefore a different setof plans is proposed:- Operation and maintenance plan for the entire monitoring, analysis and management decisionsystem and infrastructure;- Plan for legal, institutional and organizational strengthening;- Plan for knowledge transfer and capacity building;- Implementation plan for the water resources management system and infrastructure.- Detailed cost estimates.PlanningThe planning process is split up in three phases:1. Inception phase: 1 month – May 20122. Diagnostic (or exploratory) phase: 10 months. This phase will be concluded with a full accountreport around March 2013.41 ToR for the development of the National Water Resources Master Plan, section IV, p.39-4433
