A new reservoir is being constructed in the Turkistan region
at the confluence of the Bala Bogen and Ulken Bogen rivers. With a capacity of
68 million cubic meters of water, it will collect floodwater and direct it to
the Bogen reservoir during the irrigation period. The length of the hydraulic
structure dam is expected to be almost two kilometers, and height - 26 meters. Notably,
the construction of the Sarkyrama canal is underway to regulate water flow from
the Baidibek Ata reservoir to the Bogen reservoir.
«We are focused on providing water to Turkistan city and the
Turkistan region. A total of 40 million cubic meters of water from the
reservoir will flow into the region through the Sarkyrama canal. The completion
of the hydraulic structure construction will enable to provide water for local
needs by September or October,» said water management veteran Ilyas Alibekov.
The Kazakh Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has
developed the Concept of water resources management system development until
2030. This will provide for the construction of two hydraulic structures in the
Turkistan region, including Baidibek Ata and Boraldai, to direct an additional
113 million cubic meters of water to the Bogen reservoir.
