The Ministry of Ecology of Kazakhstan plans to develop a new Water Code in 2021
The Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan plans to develop a new Water Code and a draft law "On the safety of hydraulic structures" in 2021. This was announced by the Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan Magzum Mirzagaliyev in the Senate during the government hour on the topic “Water security of Kazakhstan: modern challenges and prospects for their solution”.
“For 2021, it is planned to develop the concepts of the new Water Code and the law“ On the safety of hydraulic structures, ”M. Mirzagaliyev said during the meeting.
According to him, the ministry has also formed a scientific block aimed at exploring the possibility of using alternative ways of increasing water resources, increasing the efficiency of water use in industry, agriculture and municipal services, as well as transferring water resources to water-deficient regions of the country.
According to experts, Kazakhstan's water legislation requires further improvement.
“For seventeen years of application of the existing Code, changes and additions to it have been made 62 times (on average, a little more than 3 times per year). As a result, there is a loss of consistency in law enforcement, which generally leads to a deterioration in the situation at all levels of the water sector, ”the minister said.
The current Code also does not regulate technical issues of design, construction and operation of water facilities.
“These issues are regulated by various building codes and regulations, orders of ministries and departments, while the safety of hydraulic structures should be regulated by a special law on the safety of hydraulic structures,” the minister said.

The area of irrigated land in Kazakhstan will be increased within three years to 2 million hectares
Almost 500 thousand hectares of irrigated land will be restored over the next years in five regions of Kazakhstan, which will bring the total area of irrigated land to 2 million hectares. This was announced by the Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan Magzum Mirzagaliyev in the Senate during the government hour on the topic “Water security of Kazakhstan: modern challenges and prospects for their solution”.
According to the minister, irrigated agriculture is the main water consumer in the republic. Today the area of irrigated land is 1.6 million hectares.
“According to the order of Elbasy Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev, we need to bring the area of irrigated land within 3 years to 2.0 million hectares. In the period 2021-2023, work will continue to restore 492 thousand hectares of irrigated land in Almaty, Zhambyl, Turkestan, Kyzylorda and Aktobe regions, "the minister said.
As a result of this work, 88 thousand jobs will be created. During the construction period, 11 thousand jobs will be created.
“But most importantly, the introduction of restored irrigated lands into circulation will create 77 thousand permanent jobs in agriculture. In turn, this will create a further multiplier effect in the areas of trade and processing of agricultural products, ”said the head of the Ministry of Environment.
From 2023 to 2030, 1.0 million hectares of irrigated land will be put into circulation. As a result, 500 thousand jobs will be created, with an annual additional volume of agricultural products of 570 billion tenge.

Irrigation canals in Kazakhstan are planned to be digitized to save water
Within five years, Kazakhstan plans to digitize the main irrigation canals in order to save water resources. This was announced by the Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan Magzum Mirzagaliyev in the Senate during the government hour on the topic “Water security of Kazakhstan: modern challenges and prospects for their solution”.
“I wanted to share some good news. So, this year, the first pilot project for the digitalization of the K-19 main canal was implemented, where a water metering and control system was installed with a length of 12.0 km in the Makhtaral district of the Turkestan region with a suspended area of irrigated land of more than 3.6 thousand hectares, on which there are 328 peasant farms. The launch of this equipment made it possible to detect excessive consumption of irrigation water up to 45% of the irrigation regime, ”M. Mirzagaliyev said during the right hour.
“In order to maintain reliable accounting and save water resources, we plan to gradually digitize the main channels throughout the country over the next 5 years,” the minister said.

Compliance will be introduced in Kazvodkhoz
The RSE "Kazvodkhoz" is taking comprehensive measures to combat corruption, ensure the transparency of the work carried out and public control. To perform these functions, the company has an internal control service, a helpline 8-777-986-86-36 has been created, and the office of "Adaldyk alagy" is working.
As the General Director of the RSE "Kazvodkhoz" Arman Kasenov, who took part in the International Online Forum on the Development and Promotion of Compliance in Kazakhstan, held on Thursday, notes, today the sphere of anti-corruption measures is expanding and already requires new approaches. Recall that the Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, amended the legislation on anti-corruption in October this year. Thus, one of the points of change was the creation of compliance services in the subjects of the quasi-public sector.
“The head of state has been instructed to create compliance services, whose functions include comprehensive control not only of the compliance of activities with anti-corruption legislation, but also of the anti-corruption strategy, as well as the relevant action plans. In short, effective compliance control will ensure the openness and trust of society in the company's activities. In October, a meeting was also held with the Anti-Corruption Service of the city of Nur-Sultan, where the employees of the central office and production branches (via the VKS) were informed about new approaches to combating corruption, ”says Arman Kasenov.
According to him, empowering internal control services with compliance functions is becoming an integral part of corporate ethics.
“In order for citizens to contact us directly, a telephone line has been opened, it works around the clock, 7 days a week. On it you can contact on all questions regarding our activities, as well as on the facts of manifestations of corruption ", - said the General Director of RSE" Kazvodkhoz ".
Note that the International Online Forum for the Development and Promotion of Compliance in Kazakhstan was attended by international and Kazakh experts representing Russia, Ukraine, Israel and the United States.
