Earlier, the Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, declared the "effectiveness" of the Tasqyn flood forecasting system, but facts and flood statistics refute the official's bold claims: in several regions (North Kazakhstan, Aktobe, Kostanay, Akmola regions) serious flooding continues, roads are washed away, populated areas are inundated, and transport links are disrupted.
