In the Chuy region, a case of illegal transfer of a water body — a daily regulation reservoir (DRR) located in the Issyk-Ata district — has been identified. This case became possible due to the actions of the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, Processing Industry, and Melioration of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The story begins on November 30, 1999, when this reservoir was unlawfully transferred to the balance of the agricultural production cooperative "Pakhary" based on a forged transfer act. Later, in 2021, according to decision No. 28 of the head of the Ivanovsky ayil okmotu of the Issyk-Ata district, the reservoir became the property of the SPC "Pakhary" and a state act on the right of private ownership was issued.
As a result of the conducted operational investigative measures, the illegally privatized reservoir was returned to state ownership.
Additional information: Daily regulation reservoirs were actively created during the Soviet era to provide irrigation for agricultural lands. Their main task is to accumulate excess water (in the winter period or during rains) and use it during dry periods.
