- Measures are being taken in the Chui region to improve the operation of the irrigation system, which includes the implementation of water-saving solutions, the transfer of intra-farm irrigation facilities to state management, and the reduction of water losses in canals. This was stated by Erlan Omuraliev, head of the Main Department of Water Management of the Chui region, at a board meeting dedicated to the socio-economic development of the region.

According to him, by 2025, the introduction of modern irrigation technologies is planned for an area of 6,545 hectares. In 2026, this figure is expected to increase to 9,730 hectares, and by 2030, it should reach 21,010 hectares. To reduce prices and increase the accessibility of such technologies, the construction of the "Aqua Plast" plant has begun in the Moscow district, and the issue of allocating land for it is currently being resolved.

Additionally, in accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic dated April 29, 2024, No. 207, intra-farm irrigation canals will be transferred to the state balance. Currently, 4 BDRs, 4 water intake structures, and 12 distribution canals have already been accepted onto the balance in the region.

Work is also underway to reduce water losses. In 2025, concrete lining of canals was completed over an area of 51,779 square meters, which corresponds to 9.07 km. In 2026, lining of another 20.09 km of canals is planned. To expand these efforts, a new plant is also being built in the Moscow district.
