Problem solved through this practice

Acute shortage of irrigation water

Усиливаются процессы вторичного засоления земель, отмечено ухудшение работ коллекторно-дренажных систем (КДС).
Tools used in the practice

Measures to restore natural springs: arrangement of stone protection fencing around springs and installation of water-release pipes

Комплекс мер по улучшению мелиоративного состояния земель (механизированная очистка коллектора, реконструкция гидротехнических сооружений и др.).
Description of the practice and its results

Actions
For project purposes, 10 springs were selected still able to exert water to the surface. Project actions included arrangement of stone protection fencing around springs to prevent cattle from trampling the springs. To allow water release, drain pipes were installed in protection stone walls.

Results
Financial and economic:
The economic effect of livestock production and irriga-tion development exceeding 100,000 USD.

Technical
Enhanced (by up to 30-40%) supply of irrigation and drinking water in the area; drafted “Rules of Using General Use Water Facilities for Personal and Domestic Needs Located on the territory of the Rural District”.

Мероприятия:

Необходимость капитального ремонта межхозяйственного Западно-Кармакшинского коллектора (ЗКК) вызвана тем, что существующее его состояние не обеспечивало своевременного водоотвода дренажно-сбросных вод с посевных площадей с Левобережного массива.

Результаты:

Финансово-экономические:
Увеличилась урожайность сельхозкультур – в основном риса и кормовых культур

Технические:
Улучшилось мелиоративное состояние Левобережного массива
Lessons learnt and recommendations made

Lessons learnt:
The practice demonstrated the advantages of restoring springs and the need to regularly maintain water bodies

Recommendations:
It is necessary to continue the efforts not only in Kazakhstan, but also across the region. For example, it is possible to rehabilitate multiple springs and water accumulators (like “sardoba” or underground “kyariz”) across all Central Asia.

Уроки:

Вклад средств в очистку КДС намного эффективней других мероприятий.

Рекомендации:

Нужно регулярно и своевременно проводить текущие и капитальные механические очистки коллекторов
