“Construction works on restoration of Kyzylagash dam started today. The dam was ruined in March 2010.

Construction should be finished in 2014,” deputy chairman of the Water Resources Commission Margulan Maraiym said at the construction site opening ceremony.
According to him, 5.5 billion tenge ($36.7 million) were allocated from the state budget for construction works. “Restoration of the 45 million cubic meter dam will provide water for 7.5 thousand hectares of agricultural lands,” Maraiym said.
