ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 12. Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation of Kazakhstan Nurzhan Nurzhigitov met with Michael Stoltzfus, Chairman and CEO of the US-based company Dynamic Aviation, Trend reports via the ministry’s press service.
The stakeholders engaged in a dialogue regarding synergistic
opportunities in the domain of hydrological forecasting and risk
mitigation, with a specific emphasis on the deployment of advanced
technologies for quantifying snowpack metrics and forecasting
snowmelt phenomena through aerial imaging methodologies.
Subsequent to the convening, the parties reached a consensus to
delve deeper into prospective synergies, engaging experts from the
Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry
of Kazakhstan.
“At the onset of this fiscal year, Kazakhstan operationalized a
sophisticated information architecture for hydrological forecasting
and modeling of flood events. In collaboration with various
stakeholders, we are perpetually exploring methodologies to enhance
operational efficacy—this includes the integration of cutting-edge
global technologies,” stated Minister Nurzhigitov.
At present, Kazakhstan is undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of
its hydrological forecasting infrastructure for flood events.
Current initiatives encompass the enhancement of the resolution of
the nation’s digital elevation models and the iterative refinement
and adaptation of the hydrological simulation framework, and the
“Tasqyn” hydrological forecasting and simulation framework was
operationalized earlier this year.
"Tasqyn" represents the advanced hydrological forecasting and
modeling framework deployed in Kazakhstan in 2025, designed to
enhance predictive analytics and risk management strategies
associated with flood events. It presumably encapsulates regional
branding by employing a Kazakh lexeme to designate a technological
framework focused on flood mitigation strategies.
