Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov called for
tighter control over water distribution and faster reconstruction of hydraulic
structures during a working visit to the Turkistan region. He inspected
strategically important facilities, including the Shardara and Koksarai
reservoirs. Bektenov stressed the importance of ensuring a stable water supply
for southern farmers and increasing systemic modernization of the water sector.
In particular, he instructed to restore the Koksarai counter-regulator and
ensure timely financing of all projects under presidential directives. Additionally,
the Kazakh government is currently engaged in negotiations with neighboring
countries on watershed issues. More than 113 million cubic meters of water will
be delivered via the Baidibek Ata and Boraldai reservoirs to ensure a stable
water supply to the city of Turkistan.
