Chui Oblast, Aug.23, 2019. /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan’s Chui Oblast, where the majority of its inhabitants have their own plots of land, always needs a well-organized irrigation system. Therefore, the issue of construction of canals and ditches in the region is always relevant.
President Sooronbay Jeenbekov's decree on the development and digitalization of the regions is being successfully implemented by local governments.
Thus, Turusbek Nogoyev, the Jaiyl region head said there is clean drinking water in more than 30 villages in the region. At the moment, he said, additional funds are being actively sought to provide clean and irrigation water to other villages in the region.

And in the village of Sary-Bulak a new ditch length of 1 km 900 meters was built, which is to cover more than 150 homestead lands with irrigation water. The total estimated cost of the project amounted to KGS 3 million 100 thousand. The 8-km long canal in Sosnovka village has also been cleared, which will facilitate the irrigation of land," he admitted.
As a proof of the works, the region head showed the water intake under construction with the capacity of 1000 cubic meters of reservoirs in Alekseyevka village.
