President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov approved the Altyn Asyr Lake Turkmenistan Development Concept in 2019-2025 and the Action Plan for its implementation. The relevant Resolution was signed by the Head of state at an enlarged meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.

The document prescribes the relevant ministries, sectoral departments and provincial khyakimliks to ensure the implementation of this Concept, the press service of the Head of state said.

The man-made Turkmen Lake Altyn Asyr being built in the center of the Karakum desert represents the creation of a unified system of collectors for the purposeful collection of drainage water from irrigated lands in all regions of the country and diverting them to the giant natural depression of Garashor in north-western Turkmenistan. This basin is completely located on the territory of the Balkan region. Currently, about 580 million cubic meters of water have accumulated here.

Hydrotechnical project is aimed at improving the environment, rational use of water and land resources.
