Poor water management and freedom:interconnected areas

Abstract

The shortage of potable water supply has become a rapidly growing obstacle for the social development of the Central Asian regions. Kazakhstan is not the exception. One third of the population has access to improperly purified water while more than 500,000 people have no access to safe water supply. Lack of potable water supply has led to increasing number of infectious diseases, depopulation, and unhealthy environment in the Southern regions of the country. It is pivotal to argue that the lack of informative democracy in Kazakhstan has negative drawbacks on the policy-making that has already resulted in the diminishing legitimacy of the current regime by rising number of rebellion in the region because the government produces water policies that does not speak on the behalf of all people of Kazakhstan. To prove how the lack of informative democracy limits the government to produce coherent water management policies, we will propagate that the water policy can be only effective by opening information spectrum to allow better collection of information.
