The recently established Committee on Regulation, Protection and Use of Water Resources of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation is working to provide basin inspections with new equipment.
To date, 18 passenger cars, multifunctional devices, sensors for measuring water speed and flow have been provided to basin inspections. The buildings of the basin inspections are also being renovated.
"The Committee on Regulation, Protection and Use of Water Resources was established to strengthen the fight against the "black market" of water. The Agency is fighting against the illegal use of water and the distortion of its accounting data, as well as illegal economic activities on the country's water bodies. At the moment, we are working on expanding the functions of basin inspections and state water inspectors, as well as introducing new rapid response tools," said Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.
Today, the total staff of the basin inspections of Kazakhstan is 241 people. Since the establishment of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, it has grown 1.5 times. This made it possible to open departments of basin inspections in each regional center of the republic.
In total, there are 8 basin inspections in Kazakhstan. These are the Aral-Syrdarya, Balkash-Alakol, Yertis, Yesil, Zhaiyk-Caspian, Nura-Sarysu, Tobol-Torgai and Shu-Talas basin inspections.
