Workers in Kyrgyzstan are clearing drainage pipes across the country to prevent flooding.
Government agencies have already completed work at 17 sites and continue cleaning at 13 more locations. These efforts aim to lower groundwater levels and reduce the chance of territories being flooded. The country plans further work through 2026, scheduling excavation and restoration of drainage systems at 30 additional sites. Of those, 17 will focus on open drainage while 13 will address closed systems.
Work is progressing at different rates in each region. In the Talas region, crews finished work at 14 of 21 sites, while 7 remain in progress. The Chuy region has completed work at 3 of 9 sites and is actively working on 6 more. These preventative measures are intended to protect communities from potential flood damage.
