INTERSTATE, INTER-SECTORAL SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL INTEGRATION

Abdukohir A. Nazirov

With the establishment of the independent states on the territory of Central Asia, water allocation issues have undergone a significant change, moving from the internal affairs category to become an interstate problem of an economic and political nature. It should be added that water resources use issues acquire acute urgency due to population growth in the region and an increase in anthropogenic pressure on the environment. The Republic of Tajikistan, being a Party to the Agreement between Central Asian states on cooperation in the field of water resources use concluded in Almaty in 1992, advocates their further development and harmonisation.

Palabras clave: Integrate Water Resource Management; Water Resource Management System; Central Asian State; Interstate Water; Practical Integration.

THE ROLE OF STRATEGIC AND NATIONAL PLANNING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WATER MANAGEMENT

T. Altyev

It is difficult to overstate the significance ofwater management to the economic development of Turkmenistan, particularly in the case of irrigated agriculture, given the location of the country and its arid climate, where the hot drought season lasts between 3 and 5 months of the year, and where evaporation exceeds the amount of natural precipitation by 8–10 times. Because of this, a distinctive attitude towardswater has been formed during theTurkmen nation’s centuries-long history—That of solicitude, frugal water use, protection of the purity of water sources, and equitable water distribution between users. The Mirab —the local water manager—was historically chosen on the basis of democratic elections among fair and honest people, and that is why an opinion expressed by himwas perceived as the Law, andwas subject to implicit obedience.

TRANSFER OF WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT TOWARD BASIN PRINCIPLES

A. A. Djalalov

One of the most high-capacity irrigation networks in the world has been constructed in the Republic of Uzbekistan and is currently in operation, providing all sectors of the national economy with water supply. Agriculture remains the major water user, utilizing more than 80% of all water withdrawals. More than 4.2 million hectares of irrigated lands constitute the agro-economic potential of the republic, and this is an invaluable resource.
