WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
In November 2019, Steve Kolk, a hydraulic engineer with the federal Bureau of Reclamation and a member of our organization, traveled around Kyrgyzstan for two weeks as part of the United States Department of Interior's Ambassador’s Water Expert Program, a component of its International Technical Assistance Program. For the trip he was joined by Mike Kaputa, director of the Chelan County Department of Natural Resources and also a member of our organization. Steve had previously visited Kyrgyzstan in September of 2018 as part of a delegation from our organization, and he was interested in learning more about the country's water resources in Issyk-Kul Province for drinking water, crop irrigation, and hydropower generation.
