3. ISSUES ENCOUNTERED
Mongolia is classified as country with very scarce water reserve. The key reasons
for that are: severe continental dry climate at the highlands on the Central Asia,
has very limited water reserve, a rare rainfall with very high level of evaporation
and most of the bigger rivers actually has outgoing flows.
The total water consumption on the project basin will be increased 2.2 in 2030 compared to year of
2010, whereas the drinking and household water consumption will be increased by 2.34 times

6. 3. ISSUES ENCOUNTERED
Surface water pollution of Ulaanbaatar and its vicinity
As WHO is named the most polluted seven cities Tuul river listed in 5th.
3000 population of the Altanbulag Soum of Tuv province and 182000 of
livestock, 2000 population of Undurshireet Soum are unable to get the
drinking water from Tuul river.

7. In the section marked in red or from BIO bridge down to
Altanbulag bridge only the untreated water from Central
treatment Plant is solely making the flow.
Flow /Тuul river/ Flood hazard
3. ISSUES ENCOUNTERED
Currently 90 percent of the city flood protection facility are in bad shape
and in case of the FLOOD its not able to protect or prevent from flooding
for which any parts of the city are seriously flooded during summer season
which result huge sum of economic losses.

8. 4. PLANNING STRATEGIC GOALS
• Strategic goal 1:
“To enhance the underground or surface water reserve while maintaining
the Basin ecosystem’s balance and restoring the network of rivers with
permanent flow”
• Strategic goal 2:
“Fully supply the regions need for pure and quality water while
eliminating the river pollution ”
• Strategic goal 3:
“To establish a system of rational and economical use of water”
• Strategic goal 4:
“To create conditions to protect from Flood hazard”
• Strategic goal 5:
“To create amenity areas for proper recreation, outing and tourism along
the river basins”
