According to the akimats, in 2024, Kazakhstani farmers introduced water-saving technologies to 158 thousand hectares of land. In particular, sprinkler irrigation systems that simulate natural rainfall were introduced to 56 thousand hectares of arable land, and drip irrigation systems that deliver water directly to the roots of plants were introduced to 44 thousand hectares.“I believe it is necessary to report to the public on how the tasks assigned to us are being fulfilled and our plans in this direction. I will publish the information in stages,” said Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.The minister announced that about 58 thousand hectares of land had been leveled using a laser planner. Leveling of arable land allows for more even distribution of irrigation water, increasing irrigation efficiency.In 2024, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, increased the amount of subsidies for farmers to create the necessary infrastructure, purchase and install water-saving systems from 50% to 80%.In addition, farmers who use water-saving technologies today pay less for irrigation water. This is because the amount of subsidy for irrigation water when using water-saving systems has been increased to 85% depending on the tariff.And indicators for the introduction of water-saving technologies have been set for regional akimats. In turn, the akimats have developed and approved a plan for the introduction of water-saving systems in arable land until 2030.In general, according to the Kazakh Water Resources Research Institute, the use of water-saving technologies allows saving up to 30% of water.Today, four domestic factories producing sprinklers and drip irrigation equipment operate in Kazakhstan. At the same time, active work is also being carried out to attract foreign enterprises. For example, together with the Kazakh Invest national company, three projects are being implemented to launch the production of sprinkler irrigation machines in our country from two Turkish and one Chinese companies.In addition, this year, it is planned to open two factories for the production of drip irrigation equipment in the Turkestan region together with Chinese companies.Our ministry is also testing innovative water-saving technologies. For example, last year, the Hungarian Water-Retainer preparation was tested together with the country's leading research institutes. The test results showed a positive effect on water conservation and productivity increase for certain crops. According to preliminary data, the use of the drug allows saving water by about 20-37%, as well as improving productivity."The Head of State once again emphasized the need to introduce water-saving technologies at an expanded meeting of the Government. Earlier, in his Address to the Nation for 2023, the President set the task of introducing water-saving technologies on 150 thousand hectares of land in the country annually. The measures implemented by our ministry are aimed at achieving this result," said Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.
