In 2025, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on restoring the irrigation network in Shymkent. These funds were used to build a new irrigation ditch system in all districts of the metropolis, as well as to clean and strengthen existing canals and riverbeds. The main goal of the project is to improve urban infrastructure, provide residents with clean water, and prevent potential flooding.

A new irrigation ditch system was built in all districts of the city. Work was carried out on 60 streets, improving water supply, increasing the efficiency of the irrigation network, and reducing the risk of water shortages for residents. The new irrigation ditch system ensures more efficient water distribution and allows for the most efficient use of water resources.

A total of 28 kilometers of new irrigation ditches were laid. These ditches provide water to residential areas, private homes, and agricultural land. Concurrently, work was carried out to clean and strengthen old canals and riverbeds. Thoroughly cleaning the canals and strengthening the banks ensures the free flow of water, prevents flooding, and creates safe conditions for residents.

Rolan Ibragimov, Head of the Shymkent Passenger Transport and Roads Department, noted the importance of the new project:

"Our task now is to encircle these irrigation ditch systems or install special caissons. This will allow district administrations to efficiently drain water using water tankers in the future. In some areas, it's impossible to redirect the water elsewhere, as all the areas are already built on," he said.

According to Ibragimov, the new irrigation canal system will address flooding and ensure an efficient water supply for city residents. The use of new canals makes the irrigation system more manageable and allows for the efficient use of water resources. Furthermore, the new canals provide irrigation for agricultural land and facilitate the development of urban infrastructure.

The irrigation ditch restoration work included not only the construction of new canals but also the thorough cleaning and strengthening of existing channels. The canals were cleared of debris and vegetation, increasing their capacity and reducing the risk of flooding. Strengthening the banks and beds of the canals ensures the longevity of the irrigation network and prevents erosion, which could damage infrastructure and flood residential areas.

Modern technologies were used in the design and construction of the new system. This increased the strength of the ditches, improving the system's efficiency and ensuring its long-term operation. The new ditches enable more efficient water management, directing water to the required areas and reducing water loss during transportation.

The new irrigation ditch system offers numerous benefits to city residents. Firstly, it reduces the risk of flooding; secondly, it makes the water supply system more efficient; thirdly, it facilitates irrigation of agricultural land, which is especially important for farmers and gardeners. Furthermore, the new canals contribute to improving urban infrastructure and improving the quality of life for residents.

Rolan Ibragimov emphasized that installing caissons and creating closed irrigation ditch circuits will allow district administrations to effectively utilize water tankers for water delivery in the future. This is especially important in areas where diverting water elsewhere is impossible due to dense development.

Ibragimov noted that the new irrigation ditches ensure uniform water distribution throughout the city and enable efficient water use. This is especially important during dry periods, when efficient water management becomes key. The new system minimizes water loss and ensures the needs of all city residents are met.

In addition to providing residents with water, the new irrigation ditches help strengthen the city's infrastructure. Reinforced canals and cleaned riverbeds improve safety for residents, reduce the risk of flooding, and improve the city's environmental situation. Furthermore, the new irrigation ditches ensure efficient irrigation of farmland and contribute to the development of local agriculture.

The system enables the efficient use of water resources, directing water to the right places, and ensuring an uninterrupted water supply. This is especially important for ensuring the city's vital functions and supporting agricultural production. The new irrigation ditches reduce the risk of water shortages, and the water supply system becomes more manageable and reliable.

In summary, approximately 700 million tenge was spent on restoring the irrigation network and constructing a new irrigation ditch system in Shymkent. These projects are aimed at meeting residents' water needs, preventing flooding, and efficiently irrigating agricultural land. The new irrigation ditch and reinforced canals contribute to improving urban infrastructure, stabilizing the environmental situation, and improving the quality of life.

In the future, the Shymkent administration and the Department of Passenger Transport and Roads will continue to develop the irrigation ditch system, clean canals, and strengthen riverbeds. These measures are aimed at creating a safe and efficient water supply system, which is one of the most important tasks of the city's infrastructure.

Thus, the irrigation network restoration and modernization project became significant for the city, improving water resource management, increasing the safety of residents, and ensuring the sustainable development of urban and agricultural infrastructure.
