On the territory of the Gyzylarbat etrap of the Balkan velayat, a ceremony of commissioning a new hydraulic facility was held in a solemn atmosphere.

A water-regulating and overlapping structure with a capacity of 68.2 cubic meters per second was built at the 1006th kilometer of the Karakum River.

The dam, designed to effectively regulate the water level of the 5th aquifer complex at the 1002nd kilometer of the Karakum River, will provide the western region with water in the hot season. Because of this, the new hydraulic structure is of particular importance for irrigating farmland and thousands of hectares of cultivated fields.

The capabilities and capacity of the water control facility were evaluated by representatives of the administration of the velayat and etraps, members of public organizations and the elders of the country who took part in the solemn event.

The project was implemented by the Institute "Türkmensuwylmytaslama" of the State Committee for Water Resources of Turkmenistan on the basis of the order of the Main Department for the Construction of Water Systems and Facilities of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection by order of the Production Department of the State Committee for Water Resources "Garagum Altyn asyr Türkmen köl gurluşyk".

The workers who distinguished themselves during the construction of an important water facility were presented with valuable gifts on behalf of the President of Turkmenistan.
