The Kazakh government has allocated KZT 3 billion from its reserve fund for the construction of a protective dam at Lake Alakol in the Zhetysu Region. The corresponding resolution was signed by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.

The funding will be used to build a 6-kilometre dam. Of the total length, 2.5 kilometres will be constructed near the village of Koktuma, while the remaining 3.5 kilometres will be built near the village of Akshi.

The government noted that in 2025, bank protection, earthworks and concrete works were completed along a 1.7-kilometre section of the shoreline. The installation of gabion structures was also completed.

According to the government, the new dam will strengthen the lake's shoreline and improve the system for sediment transport and redistribution. The protective infrastructure is also expected to support the development of the region's tourism potential.
