In the midst of unprecedented flooding in Kazakhstan, reservoirs play a huge role in ensuring the necessary water drainage during the spring flood season. The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of Kazakhstan reported on their condition in the country.
In the Akmola region, two large reservoirs are at full capacity, at 100%. The peak of the spring flood has passed, and the inflows have stabilized.
In the North Kazakhstan region, there are also large reservoirs, with a total capacity of 100%, while the spring flood continues. Nevertheless, both reservoirs are operating normally, with no threat of breach.
In the Aktobe region, the average filling level of two large reservoirs is 97%. The situation in the region is stable.
In the East Kazakhstan region, the average filling level of the two large reservoirs is about 80%.
In the Abay region, the Shulbinskoye reservoir is filled to 83%. The spring flood period continues in the region. Due to the increase in lateral inflows to the Shulbinskoye reservoir, environmental releases are ongoing.
In the West Kazakhstan region, the average filling level of the four large reservoirs is 77%. Water discharged from the Irtysh reservoir has not yet reached the borders of Kazakhstan. Its arrival is expected on April 16-17.
In the Karaganda region, three large reservoirs are at 98% capacity, and the peak of the flood has passed. The situation is stable.
In the Kostanay region, the average filling level of two large reservoirs is 93%, and the peak of the flood has passed.
Round-the-clock patrols continue at all facilities, with hourly monitoring of the water management situation.
