As part of Central Asian water
cooperation, Kazakhstan has received about 500 million cubic meters of water
from Tajikistan since the start
of summer, which is 45 million cubic meters more than the planned volume for
this year. The water was directed through
the Dostyk interstate canal. Since April the country has
received over four billion
cubic meters of water from Uzbekistan via the Syr Darya River. An agreement was also reached with
the Kyrgyz Republic
to supply Kazakhstan with 180 million cubic meters of water from the Shu River
and twice as much from the Talas River.
«To ensure water supply to the southern regions, the Ministry
of Water Resources and Irrigation is actively cooperating with neighboring
countries. Tajikistan, along with other Central Asian states, is a key partner
for our country. The Ministry places significant emphasis on collaborative
efforts in water resource management and conservation,» said Almas Mussabekov, spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Water
Resources and Irrigation.
