On October 2, 2025, Vice Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhannat Dubirova, who arrived on a working visit to Shymkent, got acquainted with the activities of one of the largest and most innovative enterprises in the water sector - "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP . Today, this enterprise is considered one of the best examples in the country and Central Asia in the digitalization and automation of water supply and drainage systems.

During the working visit, the Vice Minister was presented with a comprehensive overview of the enterprise's production processes, management systems, and modern technological solutions. In recent years, the company "Water Resources - Marketing" has introduced a fully automated water system , making a significant contribution to increasing the efficiency of the industry.

The processes of water production, distribution and treatment at the enterprise are almost completely automated . Equipment and pumping stations at all facilities are connected to a centralized digital control system. This is an important step that reduces the influence of the human factor and increases the reliability of the system.

For example, remote pressure regulation , accurate calculation of water consumption , management of drainage and collector systems , as well as wastewater treatment processes are monitored online using special software. Data received from each facility is processed in real time and transmitted to the dispatch center.

In addition, the company is effectively using geographic information systems (GIS) and hydraulic modeling . GIS has created a detailed map of water pipes, sewer networks and engineering infrastructure, which has increased the ability to make quick decisions in emergency situations. And the hydraulic modeling system helps to regulate water pressure and flow in the network, reducing costs.

As Zhannat Dubirova noted, such technologies not only increase efficiency, but also raise the quality of service to a new level. As a result of digitalization, water quality control has been strengthened and the ability to prevent accidents has increased.

Currently, one of the main goals of the enterprise is to integrate all local automated systems into a single SKADA platform . This is an important project that will allow the industry to move to a qualitatively new stage of management.

The SKADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system allows for complete control of the water production and distribution process, accurate monitoring of equipment status, and prevention of technical failures.

According to the Vice Minister, concrete work is underway in this direction. When the project is fully implemented, the efficiency of water management in Shymkent will significantly increase, and the system will allow for making decisions based on real data.

During the working visit, Zhannat Dubirova also got acquainted with the enterprise's modern multi-channel water analyzer . This device can determine the quality of drinking water and wastewater in just 30 minutes by four main parameters - COD, phosphate, ammonia, and nitrite levels .

This innovative technology allows enterprises to quickly and accurately determine the quality of water. Previously, such analyses took several hours or even days, but now accurate results can be obtained within half an hour.

The company "Water Resources - Marketing" is not limited to automation, but is developing environmental and economic efficiency at the same time. The enterprise operates biogas production facilities, with the help of which more than 50% of electricity and 100% of thermal energy are produced independently.

In addition, the "Ydro Process" biotechnology was used to remove excess sediment and unpleasant odors. This method allows the enterprise to save hundreds of millions of tenge annually. This experience is now being offered as a model for other regions.

At the end of the visit, Vice Minister Zhannat Dubirova highly appreciated the work of "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP, noting that the company's experience will serve as an example for other regions of the country.

According to him, the ministry plans to work with the enterprise in the future to disseminate automation and digitalization practices in the industry. This, in turn, will contribute to the effective management of Kazakhstan's water resources and ensure environmental sustainability.

As Zhannat Dubirova noted, today water management is an important part of the country's sustainable development and environmental safety. Shymkent-based "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP is recognized as one of the leaders in this area. The company's experience is worthy of application in other regions of Kazakhstan, as it provides both tangible results and economic efficiency.

In the future, if these projects are implemented in all major cities of the country, the water resources management system will rise to a completely new level. Thus, digital technologies and automation solutions will contribute to providing quality services to the population, maintaining ecological balance, and increasing the reliability of utility systems.

In conclusion , the Vice Minister's visit to Shymkent once again showed how effective and important innovations in the water sector are. The experience of "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP is a real example of the engineering and infrastructure development of Kazakhstan. Here, digitalization and ecology, efficiency and economy are harmoniously combined.
