The article provides an overview of the world experience of territorial redistribution of
surface water resources, using the experience of the People's Republic of China, the North
American continent, and the projects of the Soviet Union. Based on the world experience, it
should be noted that large-scale river flow transfer projects are not effective for several reasons,
such as a significant impact on the environment, the emergence of difficulties in regulating
geopolitics, and the high cost of implementing projects. However, the diversion of many small and
inter-basin transfers has shown positive results. Such river flow transfers allow us to solve
several problems, such as socio-economic development of the region, maintaining the stability of
the ecosystem, which is achieved by preserving local water resources. Taking into account the
experience of other countries, it was proposed to design a canal to provide the Central and Northern regions of Kazakhstan to solve present water management problems and maintain the environmental stability of the region.
