The facility has now been commissioned and is being filled with water, which will ensure stable and efficient irrigation of farmland during the growing season.
The major renovation of the daily regulation reservoir marks an important step toward the sustainable development of the region’s agro-industrial complex, increasing agricultural productivity, and promoting the efficient use of water resources.
