The purpose of the program:
Regional assessment and mapping of groundwater flow under climatic and anthropogenic changes on the territory of Kazakhstan to clarify the prognostic resources of fresh and slightly saline groundwater resources.
Program objectives:
1.Generalization and analysis of factual data, stock and analytical materials on the peculiarities of formation and results of previous groundwater flow assessments in Kazakhstan.
2. Justification and selection of the methodology for zoning the territory of Kazakhstan by groundwater basins.
3. Regional surveys of groundwater basins in Kazakhstan to assess anthropogenic factors influencing groundwater formation.
4 Analyses and assessment of trends in climatic changes in groundwater basins in Kazakhstan.
5.Justification and choice of methodology for regional groundwater flow assessment and groundwater flow mapping on the territory of Kazakhstan.
6.Development and creation of a geoinformation-analytical subsystem of the results of groundwater flow assessment in the territory to clarify the forecast resources of fresh and slightly saline groundwater.
7.Development and creation of regional maps of Kazakhstan's groundwater flow and natural and forecast fresh and slightly saline groundwater resources.
8.Justifying areas for hydrogeological prospecting, evaluation and exploration works for fresh and slightly saline groundwater.
Groundwater flow, a key component of the global hydrological cycle, is the process of groundwater movement from the recharge areas to the discharge areas under the force of hydraulic head and gravity. It plays a vital role in assessing groundwater resource potential. However, the last comprehensive assessment of groundwater flow in Kazakhstan was conducted in 1961-1963. In the current century, no regional groundwater flow assessment has been carried out, making the proposed program a pressing need.
Groundwater, considered a natural resource in many countries, derives its practical value mainly from renewable resources (groundwater flow) and, in exceptional cases, from non-renewable resources (groundwater storage capacity), which can be exploited and depleted. The latter also acts as an essential buffer, making the abstraction regime of renewable resources less dependent on the natural rhythm of recharge. It's worth noting that experts estimate the global groundwater flow to vary between 12-14 thousand km3/year, while only up to 8.3 % of global water is abstracted. The estimated groundwater flow for the territory of Kazakhstan is up to 0.4% of the global one, underscoring the practical significance of our research in the context of water resource management and sustainability.
Only a tiny part of the world's groundwater resources is available for human use, yet this amount represents an enormous freshwater reserve. In a world of increasing demand for water, where surface water resources are scarce and increasingly stressed, the value of groundwater will gradually be recognised by all, as it was by many ancient civilisations millennia ago.
The scientific novelty of the Program includes justification and selection methodology of the territory of Kazakhstan on groundwater flow basins; analysis and assessment of trends under climatic and anthropogenic changes on groundwater flow basins on the territory of the country; justification and selection methodology for the regional evaluation and mapping of groundwater flow; development and creation a geoinformation-analytical subsystem of groundwater flow, assessment results for specification of renewable and regional forecast resources of fresh and slightly mineralised groundwater resources.

EXPECTED AND ACHIEVED RESULTS: 2024 ye.
A generalisation and analysis of actual data, stock, and analytical materials on the peculiarities of formation and previous groundwater flow assessment results on the territory of Kazakhstan was carried out.
The justification and selection of methodology for the zoning of groundwater flow basins in South Kazakhstan (the Aral-Syrdarya, Shu-Talas, and Balkash-Alakol basins) were also considered.
A series of regional expeditions were undertaken to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities on the formation of groundwater in the water management basins of South Kazakhstan. The basins encompassed in this study include Aral-Syrdarya, Shu-Talas and Balkash-Alakol. In addition to these regional expeditions, chemical-analytical studies were conducted on groundwater samples collected during these expeditions. During the routes, springs and hydrogeological wells were surveyed and tested, and the sanitary-ecological condition of spring sites and the technical condition of hydrogeological wells were assessed. Furthermore, groundwater samples were taken for laboratory tests. The total length of the route surveys was over 12,000 kilometres. A detailed inspection was conducted on five self-exploding hydrogeological wells and 24 springs, and 58 water samples were collected for subsequent chemical and laboratory analysis.
