Abstract

The most acute problem of pasture watering is bound to one of the arid regions of the Republic that is Central Kazakhstan. Under the current conditions, groundwater plays a significant role in providing high-quality drinking water resources. Conservation of surface flow in underground aquifers in arid and semi-arid areas of Central Kazakhstan is of great importance. For the first time in the practice of watering pastures in the foothills and hilly areas of Kazakhstan, the process of creating underground reservoirs based on low-power flows of underground fissure-groundwater is studied. The result of this study is a substantiated and developed concept scheme for creating watering structures on pastures based on artificial groundwater recharge (creation of mainly small underground reservoirs) in the hilly areas of Central Kazakhstan (Sary-Arka pasture).
