| POINT OF VIEW: Kyrgyzstan for Regional Water and Energy Cooperation | Grand designs
To avert disaster, piecemeal engineering will not suffice. A sustained and balanced endeavour is necessary. Along the natural river basins of Syr Darya and Amu Darya it needs a comprehensive and ideally rules-based regional approach covering the whole Afghanistan & Central Asia (AFCA) region. The upstream countries Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, which are particularly rich in water and hydropower potentials, must together with the downstream countries Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan anticipate in a comprehensive cooperation scheme to rapidly improve water management. In terms of hydropower distribution a regional effort should also include Pakistan (AFPAC-dimension) as proposed in the “CASA-1000” energy bridge from Central to South Asia. CASA-1000 is a pilot project designed to transport hydro energy from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Afghanistan and Pakistan. | |
