In preparation for the rainy season, a comprehensive inspection of drainage canals, ditches, and systems was conducted. Any identified defects or damage were eliminated or repaired. These measures ensure the smooth operation of the city's infrastructure during the rainy season and help protect the lives and property of city residents. The Karatau State Municipal Enterprise plans to conduct such work systematically. Monitoring each irrigation ditch and drainage channel, promptly cleaning them, and maintaining them in good condition are key tasks for preventing flooding, facilitating traffic, and ensuring a safe urban environment. Employees also conduct outreach to residents, urging them not to throw garbage into irrigation ditch and not obstruct water flow. Failure to comply with these rules could slow down the cleanup process and damage urban infrastructure. In addition to cleaning the irrigation ditches, Karatau is installing additional trash containers along roads and canals. This is aimed at encouraging residents to maintain cleanliness, especially during the rainy season, when trash can end up in the irrigation ditches and obstruct water flow. Public awareness campaigns help foster environmental awareness and a sense of responsibility for the environment. Cleaning roadsides and ditches is not only a technical task but also a collaborative effort between city services and residents. Volunteers are sometimes involved, which increases the effectiveness of the activities and promotes environmental awareness among the population. To organize the work, a detailed schedule and plan are developed, outlining the cleaning deadlines for each ditch and drainage channel, as well as the individuals responsible for completing the tasks. In preparation for the rainy season, special attention is paid to preventing potential flooding. After ditches and canals are cleared, additional measures are taken: water level monitoring, timely drainage, removal of new obstructions, and, if necessary, diverting water to special reservoirs. These measures ensure the reliable operation of urban infrastructure and minimize risks to residents. Karatau's management emphasizes the need for systematic irrigation ditches cleaning. This work is carried out not only in October but throughout the year. The main goal is to ensure the stable operation of urban infrastructure, prevent flooding during rainy seasons, and improve safety for residents. The company's staff also actively inform the public about the need to maintain cleanliness and order. Residents are encouraged not to throw garbage into ditches, not to block waste trays, and to be responsible for the environment. Community involvement makes cleanup more effective and fosters environmental awareness, instilling a habit of maintaining order and caring for the city's infrastructure. Cleaning roadsides and drainage channels is an important part of preparing the city for the rainy season. The Karatau State Municipal Enterprise systematically carries out work aimed at creating a safe and comfortable environment for residents. In addition to technical aspects, special attention is paid to fostering a sense of responsibility and environmental awareness among the population. In the future, systematic measures to clean irrigation ditches and maintain urban infrastructure are planned to continue. Cleanliness and safety are the shared responsibility of each resident and city services. Karatau, together with the community, continues its efforts to improve the urban environment, ensure preparation for the rainy season, and maintain irrigation ditches in good condition. Thus, regular cleaning of roadsides and drainage channels, monitoring their condition, systematic preparation for the rainy season, and active participation by residents in maintaining cleanliness are the foundation for safe and comfortable living in the city. The Karatau State Municipal Enterprise continues to implement these measures, ensuring the city's protection from flooding and creating a favorable environmental environment for Shymkent residents.

On October 2, 2025, the work of cleaning roadside ditches in Shymkent continued. These works were organized by the Karatau municipal state institution and aimed at preparing the city's infrastructure for the rainy season. The cleanliness of ditches and water channels is an important measure that directly affects the safety and comfortable life of city residents. The work was carried out in several directions. First, roadside ditches and sewer systems were cleaned of garbage, grass, and soil debris. This step will allow water to flow freely and prevent the accumulation of rainwater and melted snow. During the cleaning, special equipment was used - excavators, cranes, and pressure water jets. In addition, workers manually cleaned the ditches from garbage, tree branches, and other foreign objects. The second direction is to identify blockages and places where garbage has accumulated in the ditches. Workers walked along the ditches, removing blockages and ensuring the free flow of water. This measure is aimed at preventing flooding, preventing water from accumulating along the roads and near residential buildings. In addition, removing blockages in the ditches is also important in order not to impede traffic on the city streets. In preparation for the rainy season, the condition of water-filled roads, ditches, and sewer systems was thoroughly inspected. Any defects and violations identified during the work were repaired or restored. These measures will allow the city's road infrastructure to function properly during the rainy season and create a safe environment for residents. The Karatau municipal state institution aims to carry out these works systematically. The main task is to prevent flooding, facilitate traffic, and ensure the safety of residents by monitoring and cleaning each ditch and waterway in a timely manner. In addition, the institution's employees also urge residents not to throw garbage into the ditches, as this can prolong the work and damage the infrastructure. In addition to cleaning work, the Karatau institution is also carrying out work to increase the number of garbage bins in ditches and along the roads. This is aimed at educating city residents not to throw garbage on the roads and to maintain cleanliness. It is especially important during the rainy season to prevent garbage from falling into ditches and obstructing the free flow of water. Therefore, explanatory work is being carried out with residents, and efforts are being made to increase environmental culture and a sense of responsibility. Cleaning roadside ditches is not only a technical task, but also an event that requires the cooperation of city residents and institutions. In addition to utility workers, volunteers sometimes also participate in cleaning operations, which increases the effectiveness of the event and forms the ecological culture of residents. In addition, to increase the quality and speed of work, a special schedule and plan are drawn up, which sets the deadline for cleaning each ditch and canal. During the work, special attention was paid to preparing for the rainy season. After the ditches and canals were cleaned, additional preventive measures were taken to prevent flooding. For example, timely water discharge, removal of dams, control of water flow, and, if necessary, redirection to special reservoirs were carried out. These measures ensure the stability of the city's infrastructure and create a safe environment for residents. The management of the Karatau municipal state institution noted the need for systematic cleaning of ditches. The work will continue not only in October, but also at other times of the year. The goal is to ensure the stability of the city's infrastructure, prevent flooding during the rainy season, and increase the safety of residents. In addition, the employees of the institution are also conducting informational work among residents. They are urging them not to throw garbage into ditches, not to block roadside drains, and to observe personal and social responsibility. These actions will increase the effectiveness of ditch cleaning and contribute to the development of environmental culture among city residents. In general, roadside ditch cleaning is an important part of preparing the city's infrastructure for the rainy season. The Karatau municipal state institution carries out these works systematically, contributing to the creation of a safe and comfortable environment for residents. During the work, attention is paid not only to technical aspects, but also to the environmental culture and responsibility of residents. In the future, a systematic plan and preventive measures for cleaning ditches and maintaining road infrastructure will continue. Cleanliness and safety are the joint responsibility of every resident and city institutions. The Karatau municipal state institution, with the support of residents and its own efforts, is constantly carrying out work aimed at improving the city's infrastructure and ensuring readiness for the rainy season.

Alongside the cleanup, landscaping work was carried out: trees and flowerbeds were planted, and existing green spaces were maintained. These activities enhance the city's aesthetic appearance and create comfortable recreational conditions for residents. Participants shared their experiences and put forward proposals for further environmental improvement. They noted that public spaces should be kept clean not only during one-time events but on a regular basis.
