BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 28. Kazakhstan and the United States are developing cooperation in the treatment and reuse of industrial and mineralized water, the Kazakh Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said.
This was announced by the press service of the Kazakh Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation.
According to the Ministry, at the invitation of US-based IBL Elements Inc., First Deputy Chairman of Kazakhstan’s national hydrogeological service Kazhydrogeology Dair Ibrayev paid a working visit to Oklahoma, where he toured the company’s production facilities and examined modern technologies for water treatment, reuse, and the extraction of valuable components.
