The Uzbek daily \"Pravda vostoka\" reported on 21 January that a 2.4-kilometer dam is being built in Navoi Oblast to contain water that has been released from the Chardara Reservoir on the Kazakh-Uzbek border. The water was released to prevent the Syrdarya River from destroying the Chardara Dam in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan agreed on 4 January to undertake a series of measures to prevent the Syrdarya from flooding southern Kazakhstan, but Uzbekistan in particular has been slow -- according to the Kazakh authorities -- to implement the promised measures. According to \"Pravda vostoka,\" the Kazakhs have been diverting water into Navoi Oblast\'s Lake Aidarkul, which is overflowing into nearby pastures and threatening settlements in two raions.
