Kazakhstan plans to build 42 new reservoirs by 2030.
This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Zandos Salimov. The construction of new facilities is part of the water infrastructure modernization program which aims to improve the efficiency of water resource management.
At the same time, the restoration of irrigation canals with a total length of more than 4.6 thousand kilometers continued.
In the years 2024-2025, the state has already restored 190 canals with a length of over 1.4 thousand kilometers, five reservoirs and eight hydraulic structures.
Infrastructure development is particularly important for Kazakhstan due to the risks of water shortages, the high dependence of agriculture on irrigation and the need to reduce the loss of water resources.
