As of March 21, 2025, the situation in the region is stable, floods are taking place in a regular seasonal mode, which shows the well-coordinated and coordinated work of all involved services.

It is worth noting that the region is fully prepared for the flood situation. More than 92 localities at risk are covered. 46 km of shafts were constructed, 168 new culverts were built, 20 km of storm sewers were repaired, 27 GTS were repaired, 50 units of high-passable equipment were purchased.

Local authorities are carrying out comprehensive work to minimize possible flooding risks.

For example, snow removal has been actively carried out, which made it possible to prevent major flooding of settlements and, moreover, empty houses.

Logistical facilities have been acquired, evacuation maps for the population and livestock have been developed, work has been carried out to clear small riverbeds, river banks have been reinforced in the most vulnerable places, and a reserve of inert materials has been created for the emergency construction of protective structures if necessary.

A grouping of forces and means of the order of magnitude has been determined to eliminate floods.
3 thousand people, about 400 pieces of equipment, more than 120 pieces of watercraft and over 330 motor pumps.

In general, to date, 5 overflows have been registered on highways, of which 1 is of national significance and 4 are of regional significance.

All road washouts are under special control. Currently, 1 washout of local significance "Kushmurun-Novopavlovka" has been recorded. It should be noted that restoration work is already underway at this moment and the roadway will be restored in the very near future.

In general, thanks to coordinated actions, it was possible to carry out restoration work as soon as possible - during the day. For example, on March 19, at 4 p.m., the Urpek-Kabyrga road was washed out, and by 10:30 the next day, the road surface was restored.

Returning to the flood period last year, I would like to focus on the Karasu district, where 5 lakes with a total area of 622 square kilometers were united.

To solve the current situation, a 30-kilometer branch canal was built.

The southern regions of the region are also in the area of special attention. Coastal protection works have already been carried out in 30 settlements of Amangeldy, Dzhangeldy districts and Arkalyk, dams have been erected, and protective ramparts have been reinforced for 26 kilometers.

A network of drainage channels has been created in the Dzhangeldy district, aimed at redistributing flood waters to safe zones.

In order to prevent losses in agriculture and ensure animal safety, a map of livestock evacuation sites has been developed, indicating the number of livestock and driving routes. Cattle have already been successfully shipped from farms, wintering a total of more than 39 thousand heads. All places are provided with stocks of fodder and forage.

Local authorities are taking all necessary measures to protect the agricultural sector from spring flooding.

An important role was played by blasting operations on the Tobol, Turgai rivers and in a number of settlements, which are carried out in accordance with approved schedules. 193 million tenge has been allocated for these purposes, three times more than last year.

At the same time, communication with the border regions of the Russian Federation about water consumption and the occurrence of threats on transboundary rivers is constantly monitored.

It is worth noting that the total volume of water in two large reservoirs is 881 million m3 (63%), with a norm of 1.4 billion m3. The free capacity is 522 million m3.

The expected inflow is 360 million cubic meters.

The preparation and passage of the flood period is under special control. Specialists continue to work in a coordinated and well-coordinated manner, ensuring maximum public safety and minimizing potential flooding risks.
