Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations from Uzbekistan Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan Five flooded villages, over 31 thousand evacuated residents: these are the consequences of the floodwaters from Uzbekistan for Southern Kazakhstan. The evaluation of the scale and damage the disaster caused will only be possible after it ends. Meanwhile, the water keeps coming. Follow us on LinkedIn A dam breach in Uzbekistan caused the flood in the southern district of Kazakhstan. To reduce the volume of water in the reservoir, the Uzbek side evacuated it through the central water canal. This water filled the near-border reservoirs of the Maktaaral district of Turkistan region of Kazakhstan. The water flow sharply increased, overflowed the Central Golodnaya Steppe Canal and, flooding the fields, approached the houses. The Zhanaturmys village, located three kilometres away from the border with Uzbekistan and six kilometres away from the Canal, was damaged first, and then water flooded Zhenis village. The Akimat of the Maktaaral district created an emergency response team, and at 01:30 AM on May 2, they announced the anthropogenic emergency. It was decided to evacuate the population. In total, 5400 people were evacuated from four villages during that night.

Photo from social networks “I already thought that I would not be saved. However, the police officers arrived in time and saved me. I thank them for this, but I worry about my cattle and crops. About 20 heads of cattle died. I do not know what to do now,” complains Tilla Fayziev, Firdousi village resident, who was inside the house during the flood. The deputy akim of the Turkistan region Saken Kalkamanov, at the online press conference on his Facebook page on May 3, assured that the affected residents’ problems will be considered, and the damage will be compensated from the state and region’s funds. “However, we will consider compensations and other payments after the peak of the emergency,” said Kalkamanov. “A detailed assessment will be carried out after the water leaves these settlements.” Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan Прорыв дамбы в Узбекистане. На кого выйдет следствие? Now, there are only preliminary results of the inventory works in the agricultural sector. A special working group from the regional department of agriculture evaluates them. According to the deputy head of the department Turganbek Ospanov, over 7,639 hectares of crops were flooded. According to preliminary estimates, the damage will amount to 404 million tenge ($ 954.75 thousand). 85% of flooded crops are cotton. The district is the main producer of these agricultural crops in Southern Kazakhstan. In addition, 3,115 heads of cattle, 1,101 horses, 585 sheep and 34 camels were evacuated from seven villages. The number of drowned animals is unknown. The works on calculation of the exact loss and damage are ongoing.

Photo: CABAR.asia Will There Be a Compensation? The day before, the head of the emergency department of the Turkistan region Nurgali Zhunusov at a briefing said that on May 1, after the news about the situation, they called the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Uzbekistan. “We were assured that at 8:15 PM, the evacuation of water from the Sardoba dam to our direction was completely stopped. However, when we arrived in Maktaaral, in Zhanaturmys village, I personally witnessed that this did not have any effect. The speed of the flow was very high and it made loud noise,” said Zhunusov. The deputy akim of the region, Saken Kalkamanov, added that there were no assumptions that water would arrive through the central water canal to the Turkistan region. Later, after the emergency introduction, the Uzbek side officially assured at various levels that the situation was under control: that not a drop of water would appear in Maktaaral and that Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan the water level in the canals reduced. However, at the same time, as Kalkamanov said, the water level in the Kazakhstan’s canals and collectors increased by an average of 10-20 centimetres per hour, and the water continued to arrive. “All the statements from the Uzbek side assured that there was no great danger to Maktaaral territory,” the speaker emphasized. “There are large canals, they are full sometimes, and overflows happen. This is a common thing for this region. However, no one expected that almost a third of the district’s territory would be under the water. Moreover, the interaction at the interstate level is quite complicated, because it takes a long time to coordinate the information.” However, the lawyer and public activist Aigul Orynbek believes that the Akimat’s excuses are not very convincing in the current situation. She notes that it was necessary to evacuate people as soon as the news about the dam collapse arrived: I know that many residents, fearing for their lives, found the cars and drove away. That was the right thing to do. We, as usual, are wise after the events. The emergency response team was created only a day later, at 1 AM. It is unknown what they were doing and waiting for prior to this. The resident of Orgebas village Ayman Batyrbekova said that they were told that the water would not approach, and the evacuation and rescue operations began only a day after the dam collapse. “Our men found cars themselves, took out all the women and children. I ran home and grabbed only the documents. If we knew in advance, we would Ayman Batyrbekova. Photo: CABAR.asia be able to pack our bags. I have seven children; I took them to my relatives’ house. We no longer have a home,” says Batyrbekova. Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan Evacuation points for the residents of the damaged villages were set up in schools. Photo: CABAR.asia Many residents of the damaged villages think that the Uzbek side should pay reparations for the damage. “Previously, there was no water in the areas of Maktaaral and Zhetisay. We asked for it many times, but Uzbekistan refused. Last summer, we watered tomatoes with tap water. It is not only I; all the people from my village do this, because there is no other way. If the dam would have collapsed in Kazakhstan and the Uzbek villages would be damaged, they would submit a list of them and present an obligatory invoice,” the resident of the Zhetisay village Ayagul Mantay says indignantly. The expert Mukhtar Tumenbaev holds similar opinion. “It is necessary to request reparations from Uzbekistan for the caused damage and lost profits. Is it rough? Yes, it is, but it is effective. In good years, it would be possible to excuse the fraternal people. But not this time,” Tumenbaev said. Residents of Kazakh Flooded Villages Are Waiting for Reparations From Uzbekistan For now, authorities are in no hurry to decide about reparations and do not comment on journalists’ questions. “This is a different state. I think that negotiations between the two countries will be held at a state level, the causes and consequences will be clarified. We cannot blame anyone,” said deputy akim Saken Kalkamanov at a briefing. However, in Atameken Business TV interview, Sergey Gromov, vice minister of ecology, geology and natural resources, said that Kazakhstan is preparing a note to Uzbekistan related to the situation in the Turkistan region and may request reparations. According to him, the note will require to provide the comprehensive information about the flood and possible reparations. In addition, the Kazakh side will oppose the restoration of the Sardoba dam, since it was built without coordination with Nur-Sultan. However, later the Foreign Ministry announced that Kazakhstan will not send a note to the Uzbekistan. The Agricultural Sector at Risk According to the preliminary data, about 300 million cubic meters of water were evacuated through Kazakhstan’s canals. At the same time, according to the situation as of noon on May 4, water continues to arrive. Moreover, according to Kalkamanov, the situation is complicated by the fact that the water from the Uzbek fields also flows through the collectors into the canal and fills it. “That is, not only the water from the collapsed dam flows to us, but also the water from the fields,” the deputy akim said. “Therefore, we cannot predict the future situation today.” Commenting on the question from CABAR.asia about the possible worsening of the epidemiological situation with coronavirus if the large number of people stay in the evacuation points, the deputy akim assured that there was no danger. “There are medical stations at every evacuation point,” he said. “When people arrive there, everyone’s temperature is taken.

  • How Kazakhstanis Migrate from South to North in Pursuit of Better Life
    How Kazakhstanis Migrate from South to North in Pursuit of Better Life Since 2017, Kazakhstan has had a programme of voluntary migration from densely populated southern regions to labour-scarce northern regions. The migrants receive social package, namely, employment and accommodation assistance. Follow us on LinkedIn Many people dream of «better life» and seriously think of relocation and drastic changes. Moreover, a decision to move from the warm and prosperous south to the cold and windy north of Kazakhstan requires a well thought approach to little details. The housing problem motivates people to relocate. 32-year-old Asiya Sharipova has been moving with her family in Shymkent from one rented apartment to another. In recent months, they have lived in a temporary construction with five children. «We wanted to stay and work in the south. But we don’t have a permanent job, you know. We did not need to earn millions. The main thing is to feed our kids and to have food in the fridge. My life there was difficult,» she said hardly holding back tears. One year ago, she with her family moved to Ekibastuz in Pavlodar region under the state voluntary relocation programme. At the new place they with the husband got a job and the house – the akimat offered the vacancies of mechanic and seamstress. However, they have a language barrier. «I speak only Kazakh, but local residents prefer speaking Russian. At first, it was hard, but we could get used to the cold climate. Also, we all have different mentality, though we live in the same country.

  • Assessing the Competitiveness of Kazakhstan Regions: Creating an Index
    E3S Web of Conferences 159, 05002 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202015905002 BTSES-2020 Assessing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan regions: creating an index Aknur Zhidebekkyzy1,*, Rimma Sagiyeva1, Zhansaya Temerbulatova1 1Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, al-Farabi Ave. 71, 050040 Almaty, Kazakhstan Abstract. Today there is no single universally accepted method for assessing the competitiveness of the country's regions. For this reason, the research created a methodology for assessing competitiveness at the regional level for Kazakhstan. The three-factor model of Huggins for ranking the regions of Great Britain by the level of competitiveness was used as the basis, and then the model was expanded on the example of a study assessing the competitiveness of the regions of the European Union countries. All data for assessing the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan were collected from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the article, 14 regions and 2 cities of republican significance were ranked in terms of competitiveness. As a result, the most competitive regions of Kazakhstan were Almaty city, Atyrau region and Nur-Sultan city, the worst indicator was found for the North Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions. 1 Introduction Today, one of the highest priorities facing each state is increasing national competitiveness. National competitiveness reflects the country's ability to achieve high rates of economic growth and maintain it in the long run, control the efficient use of resources and compete in the international arena. For increasing the level of national competitiveness, it is important to understand its formation structure.

Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University, Kazakhstan *Corresponding Author, Received: 13 July 2019, Revised: 12 Aug. 2019, Accepted:29 Aug. 2019 ABSTRACT: Before building the storm sewer networks the analysis of precipitation is very important. The issues of assessing the reliability of the information on the annual amounts of precipitation in the meteorological monitoring system of the KazHydroMet State Hydrometeorological Service of Kazakhstan are considered. An assessment is made of the homogeneity of the spatial correlation function, as the basis of the cartographic modeling of the statistical parameters of annual precipitation amounts. A special study aimed at studying the processes of cyclical fluctuations in the temporal variability of annual and summer precipitation amounts for stations representing all regions of the country. The data of daily precipitation of Kazakhstan in the period 1936-2017 were processed. When processing data, an open-source computer program R was used. The results will be useful for designers and researchers. A statistically significant increase in the maximum daily precipitation of 2–4 mm per 10 years was recorded at the Arkalyk, Aksay, Atyrau, Ushtobe, Bektauat and Karabalyk meteorological stations. At some stations in the Akmola and Pavlodar regions, as well as in the south and southeast of the republic, a statistically significant reduction of 2-6 days per 10 years was observed for the maximum duration of the period without precipitation.
