Сводный обзор: 
Within the span of projected period (2014-2020) considerable progress will be achieved on the way to improved sustainability of Kazakhstan’s water sector. An overview of recent developments and tendencies provides responses to the most crucial issues in water management. Proposing measures to optimize the use of water resources in the Republic, the Program elaborates on policy options to promote environmental protection and enhancement in the sector, as existing weaknesses remain being at the root of economy-wide uncertainties. Kazakhstan’s small hydropower potential is estimated at 20 GW making the country the third largest producer of hydraulic power in the Commonwealth of Independent States (the Russian Federation – 101 GW, the Republic of Tajikistan – 27 GW). An overview of current situation proves the fact that significant hydropower potential in the Republic remains untapped.
