The district water management department is responsible for the inter-farm main canal "Chon-Baktygul," from which the R-2 canal branches off, with a length of 4.1 km. A concrete cover will be installed on a section of 2.7 km, which will save water and reduce losses due to filtration.
“The canal was built in 1960 and over time lost its channel, turning into a ravine. As a result, water losses due to filtration increased, water distribution facilities ceased to function, and bridges for vehicle passage became unusable,” the statement said.
A total of 17.7 million soms has been allocated for the implementation of the project. The work is being carried out by the Ak-Talinsky district water management department.
As part of the project, it is planned to restore 8 water distributors and build 3 new bridges. Local residents are involved in the work, with wages paid based on the volume of work completed.
After the installation of the concrete surface along the R-2 canal is completed, 305 hectares of agricultural land will be supplied with irrigation water.
