According to information voiced on the radio by the head of the water policy and drinking water supply department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Bolotbek Tashtanov, water losses in the irrigation network during transportation from the source to the fields reach 45-50%.

Tashtanov noted that active work is being carried out in this area, for which the government allocates the necessary financial resources.

"To minimize losses, we use a modern type of concrete covering. This is not a traditional installation with reinforcement, but a more advanced system — a rolled material that is laid on a prepared base, then moistened and hardened, forming a durable concrete covering. This material is characterized by high quality and durability, and the installation process is noticeably simpler," he reported.

According to the head of the department, this technology has been successfully applied in 40 districts of the country for the past two years. Within the framework of this project, training for specialists is also being conducted, and methodological support is provided.

In addition, material covering an area of 500,000 square meters is being imported from England. After the launch of the new plant, production volume is planned to be increased to 1.5 million square meters. Deliveries are being made under an agreement with a specific company.
