Vladimir Yasinskiy, Alexander Mironenkov, Tulegen Sarsembekov.“Water and Energy Problems in the Basins of Transboundary Riversin Central Asia and Prospects for the Development of HydropowerResources”Advanced Economic Cooperationin Sectors and Industriesfarming, is seriously damaged by dry periods. The key to improving the efficiencyof the use of water resources in Central Asia is the long-term control of riverflows with the help of a system of water reservoirs, which should be built in themountains where water resources form. The existing water reservoirs and thoseunder construction have significant storage capacities but it should be borne inmind that they operate to HPPs’ schedules and do not fully meet the needs ofirrigated farming and water supply; moreover, their work often contradicts theseobjectives. The issue of priorities in the use of water resources is of regionalimportance. In ensuring water supplies, the quality of water is a significantlymore acute challenge, especially downstream where considerable volumes ofriver flows consist of mineralised, irrigation return water. In the case of electricitygeneration, this area of water management at irrigation water reservoirs can beconcurrent and rather efficient during approximately half of the time of theiroperation. However, the damage caused to hydropower generation can becompensated by thermal power plants or by the construction of hydropowerplants in other regions, primarily where significant volumes of water are notneeded for irrigation. Hydrological forecasts also play an increasingly importantrole given the need to plan the operation of carry-over storage reservoirs.Reliable long-term forecasts result in cubic kilometres of additional water forirrigated farming as they allow the allocation of the greatest possible volumesof water for irrigation from water reservoirs with minimal storage capacity”(Lvovich, Tsigelnaya, 1979: 124-135).Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan boast significant raw materialresources (Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are more limited in this regard), includingoil, gas, gold and other minerals. All of these countries have a rather developedinfrastructure and labour resources and each has potential to fulfil its plannedsocial projects. Global prices of minerals and energy resources in particular alsocontribute to the economic development of the countries and their economicintegration in the power sector. International practice shows that regional powersectors are more sustainable when power systems work in parallel. This modeof operation makes it possible to optimise generating capacities and improvethe efficiency of heat generation.Another advantage of parallel operation in the Central Asian integrated powersystem is the possibility to redistribute demand and optimise it by regionaltime zones. In the longer term, this will make it possible to ensure a wideruse of renewable sources of energy for additional generation. The renewalof synchronised operation of Central Asian power grids is needed to ensuretheir economic and technological efficiency. The overall economic effect fromrenewed parallel operation in the region, compared to the isolated mode, couldreach $1.6-$2.1 billion in the first three years. On the whole, the advantages ofthe integrated power system are far more significant than its possible drawbacks.The integrated power system will be of benefit to all its participants, bothtechnologically and economically (WB, 2010).Eurasian Development Bank227
