The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has completed the project to modernize the Kyzylorda waterworks, the construction of which was suspended 5 years ago. The facility was supposed to be put into operation in 2022. However, construction work was suspended due to the pandemic and financial difficulties.
After the establishment of the ministry, the construction of the Kyzylorda waterworks was resumed. In order to ensure the high-quality operation of the facility, damaged parts of the hydraulic structure were repaired and other defects were corrected.
It should be noted that the waterworks is designed to irrigate about 120 thousand hectares of land on the left and right banks of the Syrdarya River and to hydrate about 2 million hectares of desert areas.
“The issue of completing projects whose construction has been suspended or delayed is under close supervision of the ministry. For example, for the first time in 36 years, a comprehensive reconstruction was carried out on the Aktobe reservoir. In the West Kazakhstan region, the Kirov reservoir was renovated for the first time in 58 years. Today, active work is also underway to complete the construction of the Eskula, Talap, Presnovsky and Sokolovsky water pipelines. These projects are aimed at providing the population with high-quality water. Therefore, it is very important to implement and complete these projects," said Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.
