In the modern world, the number of migration flows is increasing as a result of deteriorating quality of water resources. Under the influence of global climate change and increasing anthropogenic exploitation of natural sources, in particular transboundary rivers, their depletion and degradation are accelerating. As a result, people using these resources experience severe negative impacts and are forced to migrate or adapt to new conditions. This study attempts to identify the active environmental migration process on a section of the Syrdarya River in the Kyzylorda region and the impact of this process on the Central Asian region. The dynamics of statistical indicators of migration as a result of transformations in the socio-economic status of people in connection with changes in the water resources of the Syrdarya River are studied. To identify the relationship between water resources and migration, a correlation method was used, which made it possible to highlight the dependence on the increase in the number of environmental or climatic migrants as a result of changes in the socio-economic status of the individual, comparative and statistical analysis, as a result of which the dynamics of the increase in the negative balance of migration and the degree of influence were identified water resources for this process. The results obtained can be used when adjusting the migration legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and are also of interest to researchers in the field of migration.
