The Scientific Research Institute of Water Economy (SRIWE) was established in 1950. It is the leading scientific organization of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of water resources management, land reclamation and irrigation, as well as agricultural water supply.

SRIWE, has database of long-time research work in all regions of the country. It also has wide experience in scientific cooperation with international organizations and neighboring countries as well as rich scientific potential represented by patents and copyrights for inventions, collected scientific articles, monographs and scientific and methodical recommendations. The Institute always participates in international exhibitions and conferences.

The main directions of the SRIWE’s activities are:

• Forecasting and assessment of water resources, their rational use in river basins, assessment of water demand of natural and ecological objects;
• Improvement of water resources management, including water flow of transboundary rivers;
