LocationsTransboundary Cooperation For Snow Leopard And Ecosystem
Brief Description:
The project will enable integrated water resources management in the transboundary Chu-Talas basins, including development of the transboundary water commission of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic. This will represent a response to the threats posed by increasing water consumption to meet growing social, industrial and agricultural needs, compounded by climatic variability and change. Pressure on scarce water resources and aquatic ecosystems has been growing in recent years across the basins generating risks of conflicts between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan over water allocation. The project will strengthen coordination and expand the role of transboundary institutions in balancing water uses and improving water quality and conservation of aquatic ecosystems, and strengthen monitoring capacity and technologies.
