KazNU Students Participated in the Environmental Awareness Session “Clear Water Sources”

In accordance with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 – “Clean Water and Sanitation,” SDG 11 – “Sustainable Cities and Communities,” and SDG 15 – “Life on Land,” an environmental awareness session entitled “Moldir Su Kozderi” (“Clear Water Sources”) was organized on October 27, 2026, at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University as part of the national environmental project “Taza Kazakhstan.”

The event was attended by first-year students of the Kazakh-language section of the “6B04109 – Digital Economy” educational program. The environmental awareness session was held in Room 229 (SDG) and aimed to improve students’ environmental awareness, explain the importance of protecting natural resources, and foster a sense of responsibility towards the environment.

During the session, the importance of water in human life, the socio-economic development of society, and the preservation of natural balance was discussed. It was emphasized that drinking water quality and the environmental condition of water sources are particularly important for sustainable development. In this regard, the protection and efficient use of water were highlighted as essential responsibilities of every individual in daily life.

Students were also introduced to the main causes of water pollution. These include the disposal of household waste in the natural environment, excessive use of plastic products, and irresponsible attitudes towards nature. Such actions can lead to a decline in water quality, the destruction of natural habitats, and the deterioration of ecosystems. Therefore, special attention was given to pollution prevention, proper waste sorting, and the preservation of clean natural water sources. The main objective of the event was to draw students’ attention to the importance of keeping water sources clean, using water resources rationally, preventing water pollution, and protecting natural ecosystems. 

One of the important aspects of the event was explaining the concept of environmental monitoring. Environmental monitoring involves the systematic observation of environmental conditions, the identification of natural changes, and the prevention of potential environmental threats. Monitoring water sources makes it possible to assess water quality, identify signs of pollution, and evaluate the condition of aquatic ecosystems.

The “Moldir Su Kozderi” environmental awareness session highlighted the importance of protecting water resources, maintaining a clean environment, and promoting environmental awareness. The event was aimed at strengthening students’ understanding of responsible attitudes towards nature, water conservation. Preserving water sources, preventing environmental pollution, and using natural resources responsibly remain essential conditions for the sustainable development of society.
