There will be no water shortage in
Kazakhstan, as reported by the relevant ministry. Next year, the country will
receive about 11 billion cubic meters of water from Central Asian states. The
corresponding agreement was reached at the 87th meeting of the Interstate
Commission for Water Coordination (ICWC) in Ashgabat.
«By April 1, 11 billion cubic meters of
water is expected to be delivered to the Shardara reservoir, which will enable
the accumulation of the necessary water volume for the 2025 irrigation season
in the southern part of the country. Additionally, the meeting participants
approved forecast schedules for reservoir operation modes in the Syr Darya and
Amu Darya river basins, as well as water supply limits for Central Asian
countries for the 2024-2025 autumn-winter period,» noted Yerbolat Pernekhan, chief
expert at the department of the Kazakh Ministry of Water Resources and
Irrigation.
