For the first time in the last 5 years, 1 billion 380 million cubic meters of water came to Sozak district of Turkestan region. This is 300 million more than last year.

The Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Nurzhan Nurzhigitov met with the residents of the district and told about the work done in the area of ​​water supply.

First of all, the Tasotkel reservoir was repaired and its capacity was increased from 450 million cubic meters to 620 million. This will allow an additional 200 million cubic meters of water to be sent to the Sozak district.

Cleaning and repair work of the Furmanov canal will begin in July. The ministry plans to install a special facility in the Radai core to regulate the water of the Shu river and direct it to Sozak. For this purpose, a number of important projects are being implemented. This year, as a result of proper distribution and regulation of Shu river water, water came to Sozak district 1 month earlier than usual. We have already sent 300 million cubic meters of water more than last year. We don't stop there. We plan to send water at the rate of 85 cubic meters per second until May," said Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Nurzhan Nurzhigitov.
