This year, the regional authorities decided to start preparing for floods early. Although the winter season has not yet ended, work is being carried out intensively around the clock to protect vulnerable areas. In particular, special attention is being paid to expanding the channel of the Zhabai River, which flows through three districts. The akim of the Akmola region noted that comprehensive work is needed in all regions.Currently, work is underway to expand the channel of the Zhabai River in the village of Balkashino. These measures will help reduce the risk of flooding in Atbasar during spring floods. The river bank is being cleared of reeds and woody vegetation, the channel is being widened to 35 meters, and the depth is being increased to 3 meters.“We will accelerate the flow of water and prevent it from overflowing the river channel. Two protective dams will be built in the most vulnerable areas. A reservoir with a depth of about five meters will be created in Balkashino. Excess water will be sent to this reservoir and then used for the needs of the villagers. Similar work will be carried out in the Atbasar district,” said Bakhyt Beszhigitova, head of the project company, director of Bakhyt-Hydro LLP.The large-scale project is planned to be completed by the end of May next year. Today, about half of the work has been completed. The project was made possible by financing from the Demeu Kazakhstan fund.In addition, this spring, the construction of three water culverts along the Atbasar soil dam will be completed.The head of the region saw the ongoing work with his own eyes during a working trip to the Sandyktau and Atbasar districts.“Currently, 38.2 cubic meters of reinforced concrete pipes, metal structures and sluices have been dismantled and replaced. In addition, 45 cubic meters of soil have been excavated and moved 10 meters. Pipes with a diameter of 10 meters have been laid, and the casing of water intake fittings has been made. All work is being carried out according to the approved schedule,” said Kenesh Alimzhanov, the governor of Atbasar district.It should be noted that similar work is being carried out in six large water bodies in the region. This will ensure the safety of dozens of settlements. “In the summer, we carried out evacuation work for residents in dangerous areas. More than 400 families were resettled in Atbasar and provided with new homes. Thus, areas with a constant risk of flooding are now empty. The spring situation will depend on air temperature, precipitation, and soil freezing level. We are closely monitoring these issues. An operational headquarters has been established. Today, we held the first interregional meeting with contractors and other interested parties. There are always risks, but we must be ready for them,” said Marat Akhmetzhanov, the governor of Akmola region.The head of the region held an expanded meeting with representatives of the local authorities of Atbasar district, the emergency department, the prosecutor's office, entrepreneurs and other interested parties.“Flooding is expected in the third decade. Last year, more than a thousand houses were damaged in the Atbasar district. The threat of flooding in 20 settlements has not yet been eliminated. Countermeasures have not been fully implemented in all villages. For example, no engineering work has been carried out in the village of Sochinsk for the past three years. The water level in the reservoir has risen, threatening more than 20 houses. Every year, protective measures are taken on our own, but they do not give the expected results. The earthen dam in Atbasar also raises concerns. Therefore, long-term decisions need to be made,” the head of the region said.Marat Akhmetzhanov warned the meeting participants not to repeat last year’s mistakes and stressed the need to carry out all work in a comprehensive manner according to the plan.“All possible risks must be taken into account, including the risk of snowmelt and lake overflow. Preparations must be carried out in a timely manner, and the measures taken must be effective,” the regional akim said.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/931928

Akmola region is one of the leading regions in the agricultural sector of our country. However, the region is located in a high-risk agricultural zone. In this regard, preparations for this year's sowing campaign began earlier than usual. This will reduce the adverse effects of weather and allow for stable yields.Regional Governor Marat Akhmetzhanov held a regional meeting with agricultural producers and leaders of the most productive districts. He also visited large enterprises in the region and got acquainted with the process of preparing agricultural machinery, harvesting and processing products.“Spring sowing is a very responsible period. At a recent expanded meeting of the Government, the Head of State set specific tasks for further increasing the potential of the agro-industrial complex. The President noted that although the agricultural sector achieved good results last year, it is necessary to increase the volume of soft loans for spring sowing and harvesting. We must use every day as effectively as possible. This is the main condition for reducing risks and ensuring the food security of the region,” Marat Akhmetzhanov noted.Regional Governor called on farmers to intensify work to fully provide them with the necessary machinery, fuel, fertilizers and credit instruments.“This year, for the first time, we are providing soft loans before the start of spring sowing. That is, farmers must be fully prepared before the campaign. The state provides all support from its side: soft loans, subsidies, cheap fuel. And akims must personally visit and control farms that receive state support. The main goal is to obtain high-quality products, store them and process them. You should also be interested in these processes. Productivity and income are part of your managerial achievements,” the head of the region said.Provision of soft loans began in December last year through the “Ken Dala” and “Ken Dala 2” programs. Today, 329 applications for 52.3 billion tenge have been received, 217 of which have been approved.This year, 5.4 million hectares of land will be sown in the Akmola region, of which 4.7 million hectares are for grain and leguminous crops. 36.5 thousand units of agricultural machinery are being prepared for sowing, 75% of which are already fully ready. In addition, 7% of new equipment will be purchased to update the equipment park. Marat Akhmetzhanov noted the need to actively introduce precision farming technologies, digitalization, moisture conservation methods, and complex plant protection measures. “You can’t leave everything to the weather. Only strict adherence to agrotechnology will allow for stable yields and increase the profitability of the industry,” the head of the region emphasized. This year, the Agronomic Council was established for the first time in the region. Its main task is to control the quality of seeds and ensure the observance of agrotechnology. Deputy Akim of the region Murat Balpan noted during the meeting that the amount of taxes paid by agricultural enterprises to the budget is one and a half times less than the subsidies received. This is evidence that the state has introduced a special tax regime, taking into account the specifics of the agricultural sector. Such a discount does not exist in other economic sectors. Agricultural producers are tasked with fully defining the structure of arable land by March 1 and increasing the share of oilseed and fodder crops. And by April 1, it is necessary to fully analyze the quality of seeds in laboratory conditions and complete the preparation of agricultural machinery.The regional akim instructed the district akims to establish close contact with farmers, provide concrete assistance, and accelerate the development of allocated loans.“Every day of spring is a year's supply of food. We cannot afford mistakes. Therefore, each responsible person must be as diligent and prompt as possible and fully fulfill the assigned tasks,” concluded Marat Akhmetzhanov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/933257
