The parties exchanged views on the work to improve the efficiency of water resource use by introducing modern innovative technologies and best international practices.
The IWMI representative informed about current projects being implemented in Central Asia. In particular, IWMI, together with the European Union is creating a decision support system for water distribution in two sub-basins of Syrdarya River, namely in Naryn (Kyrgyzstan) and Qoradaryo (Uzbekistan) catchment areas within the framework of the project on the effective water distribution in the transboundary river basin of Central Asia.
A special feature of this project is that the decision support system being created will be based on real-time monitoring data, an integrated approach to modeling water demand, availability and use, machine learning, and data storage in a transboundary context.
The sides agreed to develop cooperation aimed at uniting and bringing together Central Asian scientists through conferences, roundtable discussions, brainstorming sessions, as well as building human capital and personnel qualifications, through organizing short-term courses, trainings and workshops.
