Abstract
The use of groundwater in the southern part of the Talas-Assinsky groundwater deposit for domestic and drinking water supply of the city of Taraz, industrial facilities and rural settlements of the Zhambyl and Baizak districts of the Zhambyl region is of great strategic importance due to natural and climatic changes and anthropogenic factors, as well as the problem that arises with the transboundary Talas River. It should be noted that the TAM groundwater deposit (Southern part) is one of the largest deposits in the Zhambyl region. According to the revaluation of the operational reserves of groundwater in the deposit for 2010, reserves in the amount of 502.5 thousand m3/day for a 25-year service life were approved for categories A+B+C1+C2. The actual consumption of the main subsoil users and nearby rural settlements of the Zhambyl and Baizak districts, which are within the field contour, is 42,564.9 thousand m3/year or 116.62 thousand m3/day, which is 37.8% of the operational reserves that were approved for industrial categories A+B. The article used official data from the "Shu-Talas Basin Inspection" on water consumption for 2018-2024 for the main subsoil users that are within the field contour, official data on the population of rural settlements of the Zhambyl region from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, data on water demand per capita in the SNP were taken from SNiP RK 4.01-02-2009 Water supply, external networks and structures. The exploitable reserves of groundwater in industrial categories A+B are 2.65 times greater than the actual consumption of the main subsoil users and nearby rural settlements of the Zhambyl and Baizak districts, which are located within the contour of the deposit.
