Today, the Cabinet of Ministers has approved the list of nationally important canals that will provide water transfer to low-water regions as part of the implementation of the Law of Ukraine “On organisations of water users and stimulation of hydrotechnical land reclamation”.
Approval of this list will provide investment and additional funding to state water management facilities for their operation, scheduled maintenance, design and construction of water management systems and integrated facilities.
The second part of the Government’s decision concerns amendments to the list of water management organisations in Zakarpattia region, according to which five inter-district water management departments in the region remain under the management of the State Agency of Water Resources. This decision ensures the protection of the region from the harmful effects of waters, including bank protection and flood control measures, thus fulfilling the state’s function of protecting the population and territories.
