Nearly 300 kilometers of irrigation ditches have been built and reconstructed in Almaty

In 2010, 103 cases of local flooding were registered in Almaty, which is 2.3 times less than in the same period last year and 3.5 times less than in 2016 when there were 361 such cases.

On the territory of the city there are the most often flooded areas. If in 2017 their number was 65 sites, then this year the threat of flooding private houses and streets was eliminated in 45 sites. Thus, in the last year alone, the number of permanently flooded areas has been reduced 3 times.

For the cardinal solution of the mudflow hazard, on the initiative of the Almaty’s governor, the construction of mud-dams "Aksay" and "Ayusay" is planned for three break-through gorges, the reconstruction of the Mynzhylky dam is being completed. Automated monitoring of mudflow hazard will be introduced for the first time.

Acquired pumps of increased productivity allowed simultaneously to pump out water on 9 rugged moraine lakes, which dramatically reduced the risks of mudflow in Almaty.

The unstable sections of the slopes at HES1-BAO and Medeu-Shymbulak are fortified by protective structures. The retaining walls from the gabion structures are also constructed in Zhetysu, Medeu and Bostandyk districts.

Reconstruction of riverbed sections of the rivers Esentai, Kimasar and Zharbulak was carried out. Major overhaul of 6 river bridges and stabilization of the channel of the Kargaly River in the Nauryzbaysky district, where in 2015 the village came down.

Today bank protection and improvement of four flood-risk rivers Yermensay, Kerenkulak, Ulken and Kishi Kara-Su with a total length of 9.4 km are being conducted. In general, over the past three years, the reconstruction of the channels of nine rivers with a total length of more than 30 km has been carried out.
