Abstract
Currently, there is a shortage of water resources in 6 out of 8 water management basins ofthe Republic of Kazakhstan, and the expected trends in the growth of water consumption, both inKazakhstan and in neighboring countries, will lead to an even greater increase in water consumption deficit. This will be due to both a decrease in available water resources and an increase intheir consumption. Therefore, the main efforts should be directed to: efficient use of water resources in reclamation systems with the use of modern water-saving irrigation and reclamationtechnologies; stimulating water conservation in all sectors of the economy.
