Strengthening Scientific Infrastructure in Hydrology and Water Research
On April 10, 2026, at the Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences of 91传媒 Kazakh National University, a ceremonial opening of the “Hydrological Process Modeling”Training Room (Room 119) and the “Hydrometry and Water Engineering Surveys” Training Laboratory (Room 111) was held as part of the Day of Science Workers. 
The commissioning of these educational facilities represents a systematic step aimed at enhancing educational and research capacity in the field of hydrology and water resources management. The new facilities are equipped with modern technical equipment and software, enabling students to develop practical and scientific skills in hydrological modeling, calculation of hydrological parameters, hydrometric measurements, and comprehensive water resource studies. 
The “Hydrological Process Modeling” Training Room fully meets modern educational standards. It is equipped with high-performance computers and advanced software such as ArcGIS Pro, HEC-RAS, StokStat, and other geospatial tools. This allows students to perform practical work in spatial data processing, geoinformation analysis, and hydrological modeling at a high academic level. The classroom is designed to enhance students’ digital and analytical competencies and to support effective research activities.
The “Hydrometry and Water Engineering Surveys” Training Laboratory is designed for applied research and practical training in hydrometry and water engineering investigations. The laboratory supports activities such as water level measurements, flow velocity determination, organization of field studies, and technical assessment of water management facilities. This enables students to strengthen their professional skills through hands-on experience with real data. 
The development of this scientific and educational infrastructure provides a new impetus for training highly qualified specialists in hydrology, water resource management, and environmental safety, and contributes to advancing research aimed at ensuring water security in Kazakhstan, adapting to climate change, and achieving sustainable development goals.
