Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan said that at present the country attaches great importance to the issues of rational use of water resources, the widespread introduction of new irrigation methods in order to increase land productivity, and strengthen the soil. At the same time, the use of advanced technologies and the consistent strengthening of environmental well-being in the country are identified as the most important tasks.
Highlighting that unflagging attention is paid to maintaining internal reservoirs in proper condition, cleaning them from silt, ensuring a uniform watercourse, Hero-Arkadag noted the expediency of using the best practices of our foreign partners in solving these issues.
