Abstract

This article examines the sources of irrigation and the current condition of irrigation systems in the Chilik – Chemolgan interfluve area of the Almaty Region. Particular attention is given to the hydrographic and water management characteristics of the region, including the role of the Bartogai Reservoir and the Big Almaty Canal (BAC) in the redistribution of water resources. The paper analyzes the irrigated land areas, the state of engineering infrastructure, irrigation methods used, and the efficiency coefficients (EC) of irrigation systems. It also outlines the specifics of water allocation among administrative districts, taking into account the long-term runoff of nine major mountain rivers that form the region's water resources. The study highlights the importance of an integrated approach to water resource management for sustainable agricultural development.
