Today, Akim of the North Kazakhstan region Gauez Nurmukhambetov conducted a control flight over flood-prone areas. The head of the region heard a report from the akims of the districts and the city on the current flood situation.

The villages of the Kyzylzhar district, the territory from Petropavl to the village of Dolmatovo, the lakes Bolshoy and Malyi Tarangul, the Sergeevskoye reservoir, as well as populated areas located along the Yesil River bed were surveyed.

During the flight, a visual assessment of the water level, the state of hydraulic structures and potential flood zones was made.

Comprehensive preparations have been made: dams have been strengthened, bypass canals have been built. The situation is under constant control," the head of the region wrote on social networks.
