By April 2025, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation plans to fill Tasotkel and Teris-Aschybulak reservoirs in Zhambyl region by 100%. A staff meeting was held at the Ministry, where preparations for spring floods and the irrigation period next year were discussed.
Today, the Tasotkel reservoir is filled by 70.5%, which is about 353 million cubic meters of water. 36 million cubic meters of water have been collected in the Teris-Aschybulak reservoir.
The Shardara reservoir in the Turkestan region is also actively accumulating water. Over the past month, 702 million cubic meters of water have arrived in it. Now the reservoir is 41% full. By spring, the Ministry intends to accumulate more than 5 billion cubic meters of water in it.
The Kapchagai reservoir in the Almaty region is almost 90% full. This is about 16.6 billion cubic meters of water. In November-December of this year, 120 million cubic meters of water were received there.
"The Ministry is actively negotiating with neighboring countries to ensure stable water supply in the southern regions during the irrigation period next year. At last week's meeting of the Kazakh-Kyrgyz Intergovernmental Council in Bishkek, we reached a number of important agreements. Thanks to water diplomacy, our farmers did not experience water shortages during the irrigation period this year," said Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation.
