Digitalization should
become the main driver of Kazakhstan’s development. In his recent
state-of-the-nation address, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the
need to apply new technologies and neural networks in geological exploration.
Digital maps of mineral resources will be created for precise analysis of
deposits, along with a unified digital map of land resources. This will help
farmers assess soil quality, forecast yields, and select crops. Tokayev also
instructed the creation of a unified digital platform for water resources.
Powered by artificial intelligence, it will integrate data on both surface and
groundwater. According to the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, work
on the National Information System is already underway. Kazakh citizens will be
able to see not only a map of the country’s water resources but also data on
inflows from transboundary waters.
«We recognize that
implementing digital technologies will enable efficient water management,
resulting in substantial water savings. The system will also provide enhanced
transparency in water distribution. The platform is designed not only for water
authorities, who will have real-time access to all information, but also for
water users,» said Aslan Abdraimov, Kazakh Vice Minister
of
Water Resources and
Irrigation.
