Two rivers in Issyk-Kul region will be united via an intake dam. The Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry of Kyrgyzstan reported.
A 300-meter-long dam is being built to redirect the river flow, along with the construction of a new 120 meters long and 7 meters deep canal. Excavated soil is being removed, and explosive work is being carried out in challenging sections.
The project’s implementation is expected to significantly reduce the irrigation water shortage in the district. The main intake dam is scheduled to be commissioned this year.
