Combating the land degradation in Talas region by reducing the salinity of pastures through the irrigation water supply and by cleaning Zhanatogan canal (Rehabilitation of the degraded lands of the Talaskyi district through implementation of a series of pastures conservation and land degradation preventive activities, implementation of the awareness raising measures about land degradation issues among local communities)
Akkol settlement is located in Talas area. Over 2500 people live there, 54 farming companies work there. The settlement is located in semi-desert zone. The main problem for inhabitants of the village is lack of water for irrigation. The sowing grounds round the village are degraded, the sown area doesn?t yield harvest because of its strong salinity.
The project is aimed at raising pastures productivity through water supply of these sites.
The project tasks are: (i) improvement of irrigational system to supply the pastures with water through mobilization of population on refinement of Zhanatogan canal, (ii) Carrying out of information campaign among local population.
Expected results are:
Pastures around the village are irrigated through reconstructed canal
Pastures productivity is raised
Over 2 km of the canal will be refined
Advocacy campaign to push local Akimat (local authorities) to define and approve pastures for grazing the cattle during winter and summer seasons will be arranged
The processes of land degradation are reduced.
