1. Study Approach and Methods1. Study Approach and Methods• Objectives:
Provide useful information on economic benefits of the alternative schemes of water use in Yali reservoir for coordination of water management strategies in two central highland provinces of VN.
• Methodology:• Use direct use method to analyze water value for local
communities based on household survey of 350 households in the reservoir’s buffer zone
• Water demand estimates based on socioeconomic development plans at district and provincial levels
• Analysis of water availability and allocation trade-offs using hydrological models
3
• 2km buffer zone around Yali reservoir, where Yali hydropower plant operates (since April 2002)
• 46 villages surrounding the reservoir which are parts of Chư pah district in Gia Lai province, and Sa thầy district and Kontum city in Kontum province.
• This covers a land area of 355,5 km2 with 33.3 thousands residents

• Water use issues: – Single water use of Yali reservoir for hydropower
generation (reservoir exclusively managed by a state hydropower company -EVN);
– Limited water access to reservoir by local households whose livelihoods much depend on water (irrigation, fishing, aquaculture, washing, cooking etc.) ;
– Multiple use of water is not clearly addressed in local authority’s water planning and allocation (both cross-sector and trans-boundary)
– Lack coordination between the two provincial authorities, and the hydropower plant on water use allocation (upstream and downstream of Yali reservoir).

• Public and private wells are the most importance source of water for domestic uses and livestock
• Rain water and small rivers /streams are the main water source for agriculture
• Use of Yali reservoir water is limited to some fishing and irrigation activities; But
• 91% of the households who are involved in fishing consider Yali reservoir important for fishing

3. 3. Possible future water shortagesPossible future water shortages
Surface water availability near Yali reservoir • Surface water stress occurs
during the dry season• Water demand is expected
to increase in future• Water from the reservoir
may be helpful in a severe drought and water shortage year
• What would be the impact on hydropower production if the local communities are allowed to use reservoir water?
13
Comparing hydropower production under two hydrological scenarios:•Scenario 1 (Baseline): Yali reservoir is managed exclusively for hydropower production•Scenario 2: Reservoir water is used to meet 100% of the total water demand within a 2km buffer zone around the reservoir (annual water demand is 81.3 million m3)
4. 4. Trade-offs from using Yali reservoir Trade-offs from using Yali reservoir water for non-hydropower purposes water for non-hydropower purposes
• Reservoir storage capacity in the dry season is reduced by 3.6% on average (493m3 daily)
• Power production in the dry season is reduced by 3.5% on average (3,194kWh)
• Total annual reduction in power production is 34.6 GWh or 9.6 billion VND, approximately $450,000
• 83% of the loss occurs during dry season but dry season production is only 22% of the yearly production

5. Conclusion5. Conclusion
17
Economic benefit /m3 of water for the local communities is 10 - 60 times higher than the sales value of electricity /m3 to the hydropower company
Even if 100% of water demand of the local communities within 2km of the Yali reservoir is supplied by the reservoir, the reduction in the electricity production would be relatively small
Increased access to the water resources in Yali reservoir can potentially create high economic benefit to the local communities, especially in drought or water shortage conditions
More research is needed on technical and institutional feasibility of using the Yali reservoir for non-hydropower uses
