Water management
Water resource availability, glaciers and precipitation, damage from mudflows and floods, water supply to the population.
Climate change reduces water availability, threatening hydropower generation and irrigation, limiting the potential of the agro-industrial complex and creating risks to energy independence and food security.

Targets
- Population access to clean drinking water — from 41% to 90%
- Coverage by sanitation and sewerage systems — from 15% to 50%
- Losses in drinking water supply networks — from 40–60% to 20%
- Irrigation losses — from 50% to 35%
- Drip and modern irrigation — from 2.5 to 100 thousand ha
- Energy consumption of pumping stations — reduction by 20%
Trend combinations from the report: panels share a year axis, each with its own scale. “Index = 100” mode rebases series to the first year on a single scale. Hollow markers indicate unofficial data.
II-1 Double chart
Availability of water resources and weather factors
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Land Reclamation and Irrigation Agency, CEP, Hydromet Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Shows a strategically important pattern: the coupled dynamics of water reserves in the main sources (water supply, irrigation, hydropower) and of the natural factors of water inflow and evaporation.
II-2 Double chart
Water storage in reservoirs and weather factors
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Hydromet Agency, CEP); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Makes it possible to assess the contribution of precipitation and temperature to the dynamics of reservoir siltation. The absence of a gap between the trends indicates a high contribution of weather factors and low effectiveness of adaptation measures.
II-3 Simple chart
People affected by mudflows and floods, and annual precipitation
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Hydromet Agency, CEP, CoES); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Makes it possible to assess how the number of people affected depends on the amount of precipitation and whether the level of adaptation of territories matches the growing risks of mudflows and floods.
II-4 Simple chart
Crop yields and exposure of land to mudflows and floods
Source: Form No. 1-IK (CoES); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Assesses the degree of adaptation of agricultural production to the risks of land degradation as a result of mudflows and floods: the wider the gap between the trends, the higher the degree of adaptation.
II-5 Double chart
Public water supply: access, resources and tariffs
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Housing and Utilities Committee, MEWR, Land Reclamation and Irrigation Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Makes it possible to analyse future water availability for households, the effectiveness and budgetary efficiency of water supply, the impact of service expansion on per capita water consumption, as well as the social and gender aspects of water distribution.
II-6 Simple chart
Water stress and glacier mass balance
Source: Form No. 1-IK (MEWR, Land Reclamation and Irrigation Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Determines whether the dynamics of water stress match the dynamics of glacier balance, i.e. the current and future capacity to meet it from changing glacier water reserves.
II-7 Simple chart
Water stress and natural population increase
Source: Form No. 1-IK (MEWR, Land Reclamation and Irrigation Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Shows the extent to which the population’s growing demand for water is being met, which is important for analysing the effectiveness of water sector policy.
