The purpose of the project:

Scientific substantiation and identification of promising areas for artificial replenishment of groundwater reserves in water-deficient small-hill districts of Central Kazakhstan for the purpose of water supply to populated areas, industrial enterprises and pasture irrigation, development of typical technological schemes for artificial replenishment applicable to various physical-geographical, geological-geomorphological and hydrogeological conditions of the region, zoning of the territory according to the conditions for replenishment of groundwater reserves.

Project objectives:

1) collection, generalization and analysis of geological and hydrogeological archive data to assess the level of MAR issues in the region, to establish patterns of groundwater formation and the possibility of MAR in the hydrogeological structures and aquifers of the region, the presence of water for replenishment, the state of drinking water supply to settlements and industrial enterprises;
2)  interpretation of aerial and space images and remote sensing results to identify promising areas for the creation of MAR typical technological schemes and to establish patterns of groundwater distribution and formation;
3)  study of small-hill districts of Central Kazakhstan for the possibility of constructing water intake and irrigation structures for MAR;
4)  conducting field work (reconnaissance routes, inspection of water points, water sampling, etc.) in order to study the hydrogeological and geoecological state, select a site for MAR;study of the most promising areas identified during the interpretation of the results of remote sensing and space images;
5) based on the results of field work, concepts will be developed and specialized hydrogeological maps of small-hill districts of Central Kazakhstan will be compiled at a scale of 1:1,000,000 – 1:500,000 with zoning of the region's territory according to the conditions of the MAR and large-scale hydrogeological maps of promising areas, which will allow identifying specific areas for the MAR;
6) development of practical recommendations for the creation of standard technological schemes of the IVZPV for water supply of settlements and industrial enterprises applicable to various physical-geographical, geological-geomorphological and hydrogeological conditions of the region;
7) development of proposals for the phased development of groundwater through the construction of underground reservoirs;
8) development of possible technical solutions.

THE RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT: -2024 ye.

Uneven distribution of water resources, the steady growth of water consumption, significant pollution of surface water, the intensification of groundwater withdrawal in economically developed areas, the existing shortage of fresh water of drinking quality and other factors necessitate the use of methods for artificial replenishment and regulation of groundwater reserves. In areas where groundwater is an important component of the water supply system, and the variability of precipitation does not allow for a sufficient replenishment of groundwater reserves in aquifers in a natural way, it is necessary to use technologies for artificial replenishment of these reserves due to atmospheric precipitation or surface water resources that ensure their maintenance.

Field reconnaissance surveys of 30 sites in the Osakarovsky, Bukhar Zhyrau, Abay, Karkaraly, Aktogay districts of the Karaganda region were conducted, promising sites for the artificial replenishment were identified.

Based on the differentiated area assessment of the studied territory, zoning according to the conditions of the artificial replenishment, which is a scientific justification for the prospects of using the methods of artificial replenishment

Typical technological schemes of artificial replenishment have been developed, the potential for their use in the territory of the Osakarovsky, Bukhar Zhyrau, Abaysky, Karkaraly, Aktogaysky districts of the Karaganda region for water supply of rural settlements and pasture irrigation has been preliminarily assessed.
