To ensure transparency in the water sector, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation will have to publish annually on its website a National information Report on the use of water resources in Kazakhstan. Such a norm is prescribed in the draft of the new Water Code.
The National Report is an analytical report for the previous calendar year on the state, protection and use of the country's water resources.
It reflects information on the water content of the main rivers, an analysis of water use in the context of water management basins, regions and sectors of the economy, information on the number and condition of water management and hydraulic structures, including interstate ones. The document also prescribes implemented measures to protect the water fund, information on the implementation of investment projects and the introduction of modern technologies.
"According to the draft of the new Water Code, central state and local executive bodies must provide information for the report by March 1 of the year following the reporting one. The national report itself must be published no later than May 1. This should ensure transparency in the management and use of Kazakhstan's water resources," said Bolat Bekniyaz, First Vice Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.
