While on a working trip to the capital of Turkmenistan, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov visited the southern part of Ashgabat, where he inspected the progress of work on the construction of mudflow diversions and water intakes. The head of state was also shown the relevant sketches and designs, to which the head of state made some adjustments.
The President heard a report on the work on the territory where the monument to Makhtumkuli Fraghi is planned to be erected in the future. In particular, he talked about the construction of mudflows there. President Berdimuhamedov emphasized that the activities to improve the area around the sculpture should adhere to the latest architectural trends and be characterized by a careful attitude toward the environment.
Afterwards, the Head of the State inspected the construction sites of the mudflows in the south of Ashgabat, the total length of which is 52 km. The main task of these structures is to ensure the flow of all mudflows and sediments to a single man-made lake Altyn Asyr. Along the entire length of the canals it is planned to equip 10 large reservoirs that perform the functions of crushing impurities and water filtration.
Altyn Asyr will accumulate drainage water from the territories of all velayats of the country. It is expected that this will facilitate the work of Karakum desert cattle farmers, creating additional opportunities for them. Pasture areas will be expanded, which will lead to an increase in the number of livestock, particularly sheep. Also, thanks to the Turkmen Lake, it will be possible to engage in aquaculture.
The expansion and modernization of old canals and the construction of new ones will ensure the preservation of biodiversity, increase the effectiveness of combating desertification and improve the ecology of settlements in the country.
The head of the state stressed the importance of applying the modern world experience and following the latest trends in the construction of such facilities. Having given a number of specific instructions to the responsible persons, the President of Turkmenistan wished all the best to those present.
