“WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION”
dedicated to the 105th birth anniversary of the of Professor L.Ye. Tazhibaev
February 25-26, 2021, Almaty city
PRESS RELEASE
The Kazakh National Agrarian Research University and the Executive Board of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea in the Republic of Kazakhstan, jointly with their partners, are holding an online international scientific and practical conference “Water Resources Management in the Context of Globalization”.
In light of the implementation of the main provisions of the UN General Assembly Resolutions, the International Decade for Action “Water for Sustainable Development, 2018-2028” and the planned IX World Water Forum (Dakar), the international scientific and practical conference will serve a platform for discussing and developing joint ways to achieve the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-17).
The conference is planned to work in the following sections:
Section 1. Water resources and land reclamation.
Section 2. Sustainable water supply for natural and economic systems.
Section 3. The Aral Sea basin: experience, cooperation, prospects.
Section 4. Resource-saving technologies in the reclamation of irrigated lands and watering of pastures.
Section 5. Water management. Hydraulic engineering.
Section 6. Nexus “water – energy”.
Section 7. Economic problems of water security.
The third section shall cover the issues of the Aral Sea basin.
Over 70 million people living in Central Asia are suffering the consequences of the Aral Sea environmental crisis that threatens the health and well-being of local population. It negatively affects the sustainable development of the region due to its environmental, socio-economic and humanitarian consequences. The disaster threatens not only the health of the population, but the gene pool and the health and livelihood of future generation in the region.
More than 5.4 million hectares (54 thousand km2) has turned into a salt desert, becoming a source of salt aerosols carried out into the Earth’s atmosphere. Out of this area, almost 2.0 million hectares (20 thousand km2) are located in Kazakhstani territory. Tens of millions of tons of finely dispersed salty dust and poisonous salt and sand rise annually from the bottom of the dried sea, forming salt-dust clouds, carried far over the long distances.
The situation is aggravated by an increase in water consumption, which is associated with the population growth and intensive development of the economy in the region. The conditions with shortage of water in the region shall become more serious due to expected decrease in runoff in the medium and long term perspective caused by climate change.
Taking into account that natural ecosystems do not have administrative and state borders, it might be argued that the ecological and socio-economic problems of the Kazakhstani part of the Aral Sea region are to a certain extent identical with the problems of the entire Aral Sea basin.
The work of the third section “The Aral Sea Basin: experience, cooperation, prospects” will ensure that:
Based on the results of the work of the International online Conference it is expected that:
Representatives of interested ministries and departments of Central Asian countries, international and regional organizations, financial institutions, UN structural units, NGOs, universities, research institutes and other stakeholders shall take part in the work of the International online Conference.
