    The Kazakh Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation announced that visual inspections have already been conducted in the Kostanai, Akmola, Aktobe, and Abai regions. These inspections focused on infrastructure that has previously endured considerable pressure during flood events.

    At a meeting on July 22, Kazakh Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, expressed appreciation for the Japanese assistance.

    "I am grateful for the support from the Japanese side. Our hydraulic structures have successfully managed large water volumes during floods, preventing accidents. To maintain their functionality, we must thoroughly evaluate their condition, identify potential vulnerabilities, and address them proactively," Minister Nurzhigitov stated. The meeting also involved discussions with the Japanese Ambassador to Kazakhstan, Jun Yamada, and JICA representatives.

    The discussions also included plans to automate and digitalize hydraulic infrastructure to improve flood control measures. This includes the installation of sensors to monitor water levels and discharge volumes, enhancing real-time response capabilities during floods.
