Kazakh specialists visited Orenburg to discuss joint flood
control measures with their Russian counterparts, exchanging hydrological data
and analyzing the situation. Both sides also agreed to increase the water
discharge from the Iriklinsky reservoir into the Ural River (Zhaiyk), raising
the flow from 108 to 130 cubic meters per second. Experts say there is no risk
of flooding, and the additional water volume will be an important resource for
the agro-industrial complex.
«According to preliminary forecasts, the water level is
expected to rise to 6-6.5 meters. It is currently being directed to the region.
The discharge rate has increased from 60 to 108 cubic meters per second, which
is very good, as water from the Zhaiyk River flows freely into reservoirs in
the southern districts of the region,» said Nariman Turegaliyev, Governor of
the West Kazakhstan region.
