The President noted with concern that since 1854, the water level of Lake Issyk-Kul has decreased by nearly 14 meters, and the number of rivers flowing into it has dropped more than threefold.
“In the 1950s and 1960s, approximately 100-110 rivers flowed into the lake; today, that number is only 30-35. If this trend continues, the region will face serious ecological and socio-economic consequences”.
According to him, the government is taking necessary measures by implementing projects to increase water inflow, including the construction of new canals and hydraulic structures.
The IV People's Kurultai is taking place in Bishkek on December 25-26, attended by the head of state, cabinet members, parliamentarians, and 690 delegates from all regions of the country, reported by inform.kz.
