The volume of water in the Northern Aral Sea has exceeded 23 billion cubic meters. From October 1, 2025, to date, approximately 1.2 billion cubic meters of water have been released into the sea via the Syr Darya River, Tengrinews.kz reports, citing the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation.
According to the agency, 14 cubic meters of water per second are flowing into the Northern Aral Sea during the current growing season.
By the end of the growing season, the flow is planned to gradually increase to 100-150 cubic meters of water per second. Currently, the Northern Aral Sea holds 23.4 billion cubic meters of water .
“To preserve the Northern Aral Sea, the Ministry is implementing a number of projects, including the automation of water metering in the Syr Darya River basin and the reconstruction of hydraulic structures. Cooperation with neighboring countries is also being strengthened. For example, last year, an agreement was signed with the Republic of Uzbekistan on the joint management and rational use of transboundary water bodies, the culmination of ten years of negotiations,”
said First Deputy Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Nurlan Aldamjarov.
As a reminder, in April, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev chaired a meeting of the Council of Heads of State – founders of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea . At the meeting, Tokayev noted the positive results of joint efforts to restore the Northern Aral Sea ecosystem.
