Almaty, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan will send 600 million cubic meters of water to Kazakhstan, the Interfax-Kazakhstan news agency reported on Thursday, citing Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that a tense situation with irrigation water has developed in the south of Kazakhstan, which can be resolved thanks to agreements on the passage of approximately 600 million cubic meters of water.
According to K. Bozumbayev, all necessary consultations were held with colleagues from Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Last week, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan were behind schedule in delivering water to Kazakhstan by just over 1 billion cubic meters.
K. Bozumbayev noted that in 2025, all Central Asian countries will experience low water levels, high temperatures in the summer and a lack of precipitation.
“This year, there were increased water consumption rates for crop production, and the water that came to us was significantly less… The flow rate of the Syr Darya, Shu and Talas rivers and other smaller canals was approximately 40 to 30 percent,” the Deputy Prime Minister reported. –0–
