Since spring, as the climate turns warm in South Kazakhstan, Almaty State rains heavily, and snow and ice melts quickly. At the night of March 11, the water level of Kyzyl-Agash reservoir rose so rapidly that it led to a dam burst, which quickly destroyed the Kyzyl-Agash village on the downstream.

Kyzyl-Agash had 2,240 residents and before the dam burst about half of them had self-evacuated. Eighty percent of the farmhouse were destroyed by the flood, the remaining were damaged to varying degrees.
