Description
Summary:Irrigation remains an essential component of food security in many parts of the world. Kyrgyzstan is included in this number, but, at the same time, the water resources of Kyrgyzstan are still not used efficiently enough. This study gives an assessment of the conditions for the formation and quality of water resources in the Kyrgyz Republic based on an analysis of the new draft State Program for the Development of Irrigation of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2017–2026 and an assessment of the irrigation facilities of the Republic that takes into account their relevance and economic and technical indicators. The modern realities demonstrate the need for a careful and rational use of natural resources. High-quality, safe water is becoming one of the most in-demand resources in many countries of the world, therefore, “water powers” can make water their strategic resource, but the operation and maintenance of water-management systems requires significant financial investments. Payment for water use can become the basis for reform of the economic mechanism of interstate relations. The study resulted in the formulation of reasonable directions for the strategic nature of the modernization of the reclamation fund and the expansion of the volume of ongoing reclamation activities related to high-priority measures for the development of the rational use of the water balance.
