According to the deputy director of the Uzbekcosmos agency , Mukhiddin Ibragimov , the country has already implemented a space monitoring program covering ecology, water management and forestry.

We have digitized 60 of the country’s largest reservoirs. We can track online how much water has been accumulated, how it is used, and for what needs it is directed. The main consumer is agriculture.

The aim of the project is to monitor the status of transboundary water bodies, such as the Syr Darya River, to effectively manage water resources, prevent water shortages and respond to environmental challenges, including the impacts of climate change.

The project is based on a memorandum signed in 2024 at a forum in Tashkent between the space agencies of the two countries (Kazakhstan Gharysh Sapary and the Uzbek Space Agency).

🇰🇿Kazakhstan has Earth remote sensing satellites such as KazEOSat-1 and KazEOSat-2, developed under the national space program. These satellites are capable of providing high-resolution data for monitoring water bodies, including rivers, lakes, and glaciers.

To supplement the data, international satellite systems such as 🇪🇺Copernicus (a program of the European Space Agency) could theoretically be involved. Cooperation with 🇷🇺Russia (the Kanopus-V or Resurs-P satellites) is also possible.
