Central Asian Water and Energy Complex
Purpose and objectives of the project
Promoting the efficient use of water resources and optimal development of the electricity generation in Central Asian countries; opening up opportunities for the joint operation of energy systems to promote economic growth and improve living standards.
Description of the project
Central Asia faces major sustainable development challenges in relation to water and energy supplies. The deterioration of irrigation systems, reluctance to adopt new technology and suboptimal river management have caused water shortages in the Aral Sea Basin. Improving the management of rivers, overhauling irrigation systems and introducing modern agricultural irrigation methods will help to eliminate water shortages. Improving the region’s energy systems and exploiting the potential for them to operate in parallel will reduce the need to build additional energy facilities, help to meet the growing demand for electricity and improve the reliability of energy supplies to consumers.
