RECONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION OF SMALL RESERVOIRS, DRILLING WELLS FOR WATERING OF WILD ANIMALS IN THE TERRITORY OF BARSAKELMES STATE NATURE RESERVE

Project Objectives: 

• Conservation and increase of the number of wildlife (gazelles, saigas and kulans, etc.) in the Barsakelmes state nature reserve;
• Construction of watering points on the island – well drilling and repair of existing artificial ponds;
• Conservation of the ecosystem of the northern and middle deserts of the temperate belt, soil and vegetation, species of flora and fauna.

Objectives of the project:

• drilling of hydrogeological wells, carrying out experimental hydrogeological works on them;
• testing the rocks of the aeration zone and all identified water sources (surface and underground), studying the physico-mechanical and water-physical properties of the soil, chemical analysis of surface, groundwater.
• the development of less costly irrigation methods using modern water-saving technologies;
• revision of existing irrigation methods and their reconstruction using modern water-saving technologies;
• Drilling of wells for watering wild animals in the Barsakelmes nature reserve
• construction of watering points on the island – drilling a well and repairing existing artificial ponds.

Expected results of the project:

• The results of the project are aimed at preserving and increasing the flora and fauna of the Barsakelmes Reserve, preventing the migration of animals, and improving the ecosystem.

The cost of the project: 55.2 million tenge (172.5 thousand $)

Terms of project implementation: March 2010 – November 2018.
