Why does Kyrgyzstan give 76% of its water to its neighbors? | Emnege?
Kyrgyzstan has water. Moreover, it is here that most of the region's water resources are generated. Yet the country uses only about 24%, while the remaining 76% goes to neighboring countries.
Why is this happening?
Why do we give away water when we ourselves are facing shortages?
And is it possible to stop sharing altogether?
In this video, we examine:
— Sadyr Japarov's speech at a meeting of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea
— How much water is there in Kyrgyzstan and where does it go
— Why is Issyk-Kul drying up
— How water affects the energy sector and power outages
— And is the current water distribution system in the region fair
Kyrgyzstan is the water tower of Central Asia. But the country pays for the conservation of this water itself, spending tens of millions of dollars annually.
