- As Tashtanov reported, in 2026 it is planned to repair 776 kilometers of inter-farm canals, restore 590 hydraulic structures, and 508 water measurement posts. The installation of water measurement devices will allow for more accurate tracking of the volume of water supplied and controlling its distribution.

To provide water for agricultural producers, underground wells are also actively used — currently, about 2,500 water intake wells are in operation. As part of the preparations for 2026, the launch of 91 pumping stations is planned. This, according to Tashtanov, will provide farmers with additional water supply in conditions of resource shortages from primary sources.

In addition, the plans include a mechanism for redistributing water between various irrigation systems. When there are surpluses in one system, water will be directed to another, which will allow for balancing and fully meeting the needs of agricultural producers.
