Akims of the Kostanay region, Kumar Aksakalov, visited the villages of Ayet and Varvarinka in the Beimbet Maylin district during a working trip, where he familiarized himself with the progress of flood control measures.

To protect the region's settlements from floods, measures have been carried out for bank reinforcement works, the construction and strengthening of protective embankments, the building of diversion channels, and the erection of earth fills. Work continues to prevent potential flooding. Not a single household in the region has been flooded.

As of today, the total water volume in the two major reservoirs is at 70% capacity (939.51 million m³⁾, against a standard of 1.4 billion m³.

A task force of 2,815 personnel, 392 units of equipment, 123 watercraft units, and 336 motor pumps has been designated for flood and inundation response.

Since the beginning of March this year, water passage structures have been cleared. Round-the-clock duty has been organized in flood-prone areas.

The flood situation is under special control.

In the Beimbet Maylin district, two ice jams were observed on the Ayet River: the first in the village of Ayet, the second in the village of Mayskoye.

Thanks to the riverbed clearing and deepening works carried out last year, as well as the preventive measures this year, ice drift began on both sections of the Ayet River by the evening of April 1, and water flow was restored.

The peak of the high-risk period has passed. The situation is stable, and there is no cause for concern.
