Local specifics | The site (nearly 842,000 hectares; population of 8,000 people) is located in the Central Kara Kum Desert. The relief is represented by the combination of “barkhans” (sand dunes) of various forms and “takyr” (dry-type playa) depressions. The majority of the area is covered by desert pastures. |

Problem solved through this practice | As soon as people began to lead a settled life, they shifted away from the traditional way of livestock grazing. The land became subject to strenuous exploitation, especially near settlements and watering sites. Saxaul thickets were cut down for heating and cooking purposes. The thickets were unable to restore over time due to overgrazing. Frequent movement of sand dunes and severe sandstorms threaten not only dwellings and social infrastructure, but also degrade soil and destroy the limited number of available water wells. Degraded pastures fail to yield enough livestock forage. The shortage of watering sites leads to consolidation of large numbers of animals around existing wells. Structural changes in livestock production (more goats and cattle instead of camels; more unprotected pastures around settlements instead of distant pastures) lead to vegetation cover degradation, in particular, around settlements and watering sites. |
Острая нехватка оросительной воды |
Tools used in the practice | Technology for combatting desertification and droughts by proper management of wells and watering sites (construction and repair of wells, building mechanical protection from reed mats and Saxaul saplings) |
Меры по восстановлению природных родников: обустройство родников ограждением из камня и трубой для отвода воды |
Description of the practice and its results | Actions: 8 new wells built and 6 existing wells repaired, and mechanical protection (reed mats and Saxaul saplings) set up on the territory of 27 hectares. Water wells also underwent small-scale repair and construction to expand the area of pasturable land and prevent localized degradation. Results: After the restoration of wells, desert pastures became subject to even and rational use; installation of mechanical protection allowed to stop the approaching sand dunes around settlements. |
Мероприятия: Проектом выбраны 10 родников, которые сохранили способность выхода воды на поверхность. Деятельность по проекту включала обустройство родников ограждением из камня, чтобы скот не топтал источник. Для стока воды в стенку ограждения вставлена труба. Результаты: Финансово-экономические: Технические: |
Lessons learnt and recommendations made | Lessons learnt: The capacity of watering sites was increased by way of improving the existing infrastructure and, where possible, building new wells infrastructure. The newly drilled wells significantly aid local population in maintaining their livestock and households. Recommendations: It is necessary to test traditional drought-resistant grain crops. |
Уроки: Практика показала выгодность восстановления родников и необходимость регулярного поддержания водных объектов. Рекомендации: Нужно продолжать такие работы не только в Казахстане, но и по всему региону. Например, можно восстановить по всей Центральной Азии много родников и накопителей воды типа сардоба или подземных кяризов. |
