DWFI and the Water Sciences Lab is hosting a spring seminar series on groundwater sustainability in Central Asia in collaboration with Taraz Regional University named after M.K.Dulaty in Kazakhstan. The free, four-part virtual series focuses specifically on advancing institutional capacity in Karakalpakstan, a former Aral Sea region in Uzbekistan.
The region of Karakalpakstan in northwestern Uzbekistan was once a thriving area supported by extensive irrigation within the Aral Sea basin. It now suffers from extensive droughts, upstream diversions from the Amu and Syr Darya rivers for irrigation, as well as severely impacted water quality.
Through this project and webinar series, experts will examine the potential for water and land reclamation; innovative models and tools for ground- and surface-water resources management; water quality monitoring and reuse; uses for remote sensing in irrigated agriculture; and compare water resources programs to help establish long-term scholar exchanges in this region.
