Scientists of the Institute of Geography of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of 
Kazakhstan propose two ways (two groups) of measures to eliminate the shortage of Veda in the 
republic: reducing the load on water resources and increasing freshwater resources [Strategy of 
sustainable water supply of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period up to 2050. Questions of 
geography and geoecology. 2018, No. 1, pp. 18–46].
5. Conclusion 
Development in the field of water resources management requires strategic planning for the long term, 
in this regard, forecast goals have been developed until 2040, the implementation of which can be 
ensured when indicators and indicators for 2021 are achieved. The strategic direction of the plans of 
the sectoral ministries of Kazakhstan for 2017–2021 is "ensuring the rational use of the water fund and 
effective management of water resources". To achieve the goal of "increasing the level of resource 
supply" and preventing natural risks (increasing water scarcity, unfavorable hydrological regime (low 
water content), deterioration of the hydrochemical composition of water (oxygen regime), a number of 
measures are planned: reduction of unproductive water losses, introduction of water–saving 
technologies, restructuring of sown areas for less moisture–loving crops, reduction of water intake 
limits. In recent years, certain measures have been implemented: water–saving technologies have been 
introduced on an area of 183.4 thousand hectares, or 13 % of the total area of regular irrigation land. 
Control and inspection measures were carried out in the field of use and protection of the water fund in 
terms of compliance with water use limits.To prevent the risks of reducing the volume of 
transboundary runoff from neighboring countries due to climatic and economic reasons, measures 
were developed at the interstate level to regulate water resources on transboundary rivers [16]. 
Priority areas for solving problems and removing barriers. 
The strategic goal of the state water policy in the basin for the medium term of the year should 
solve the following tasks: 
– strengthening the system of environmental legislation regulating the protection of water and the 
environment, environmental management; 
– improvement of the system of state control, environmental expertise and rationing; 
– Introduction of a unified monitoring system; prepare national requirements on the volume and 
quality of water for the transboundary Ili river. 
– creation and strengthening of integrated management mechanisms and optimization of water use 
management and protection of water resources at the basin, territorial, national and interstate levels; 
– ensuring the development of scientific research on the most important problems of sustainable 
water use and the creation of an analytical information base of the basin. 
– development of the system of environmental education and upbringing; 
– development of international cooperation programs[10–14]. 
The main condition for the effectiveness of the proposed measures should be the improvement of 
the entire environmental legislation, the introduction of environmental standards in all other legislative 
branches, that is, the greening of the economy and society cannot be carried out without the greening 
of legislation.
