The cracked section of the Kokaral dam in the Kyzylorda region, which divides the Aral Sea, is being re-strengthened. This year, the state allocated 500 million tenge for the project to preserve the North Aral Sea.

More than 200 meters of the dam, which was called the construction of the century, were in danger of losing the Small Aral. According to experts, the work to strengthen the dam was started on time.
