Therefore, the international water management forum, by its essence and content, is strategically important for us.

Following the wise ancestors’ precepts, we revere piously the age-old traditions of our forefathers, invariably endeavor to preserve carefully water as a priceless property, consistently and steadily take the important measures to efficiently and effectively use water resources including wide application of advanced methods of trickle and sprinkler irrigation.
“The large-scale task-oriented measures taken in our country to further develop and extend water industry as a key priority of the state policy contribute to reaping rich harvests and transforming our sunny Fatherland in the land of plenty and blooming gardens. At present we put much effort to conserve the environment and efficiently use water of our rivers, lakes, water storage basins and springs, construct new hydraulic facilities and irrigation systems and reconstruct the existing ones.
“The pace of construction of the Altyn Asyr Turkmen Lake in the centre of the Karakum Desert is accelerated for the purposes of reclamation of areas under crops, collection and recycling of drainage water. The first units of this grandiose hydraulic facility were put into operation last year. Construction of the Turkmen Lake and adoption of most advanced water saving technologies will be an effective factor in further increasing the efficiency in the agricultural sector of our country in the conditions of a shortage of water resources all over the world. “Through putting into operation and effectively operating the Altyn Asyr Turkmen Lake the firm foundation for improving the environmental situation in the Central Asian region will be laid that will promote the economic growth of our state.

For this purpose our state maintains close cooperation with the United Nations, the European Union and the Global Ecological Fund. Our initiatives on water supply and environmental security, efficient use of transboundary water resources in the Central Asian region and mitigation of the adverse environmental impact of the Aral Sea crisis illustrate the large scale and effectiveness of Turkmenistan’s efforts which are to substantially contribute to global efforts to protect the nature and improve the environmental situation.
“I believe that the Intentional Forum, the exhibition and conference organized and conducted jointly by the ministries and departments, the agricultural institutions of Turkmenistan will be an effective method of introducing the achievements of independent neutral Turkmenistan in water industry to the international community, promoting mutually advantageous exchange of experiences and enhancing cooperation with the leaders in the field of scientific applications and technologies, discussing and identifying the ways to expand and enhance effective mutually advantageous partnership with all companies interested, developing the further strategy for concerting efforts of Turkmen and foreign scientists to address the issues of efficient and effective use of water resources.”
