On 29 September, the TRANSILI project was officially launched at the Water Hub of the National Agrarian University in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The project aims to improve the understanding of the landscape water balance in the Ili River basin. As the main source of inflow to Lake Balkhash, the Ili River plays a vital ecological and strategic role in the region. By investigating the basin’s water balance, TRANSILI seeks to generate scientific insights that can support the sustainable management of water resources.
