The event is intended for agrarians carrying out agricultural activities on reclaimed lands. 

During the webinar, experts will explain the legal conditions, stages of creation and functioning of water user organizations to increase the capacity of agricultural producers in the management, restoration and modernization of the reclamation infrastructure. The participants of the event will be able to get answers to all questions regarding the implementation of the organization.

The event moderator is Serhii Kubakh, Land Reform Team Lead at the USAID Agriculture Growing Rural Opportunities (AGRO) Activity in Ukraine

- Peculiarities of adding information about the reclamation network and its components into the State Land Cadastre.

- The advantages when the water users’ organisation is created by agrarians with its independent management in comparison with the traditional system controlled by the State Agency for Water Resources of Ukraine.
