Ways of efficient use of water in conditions of water resources shortage
Abstract
The shortage of water from Uzbekistan is becoming increasingly urgent due to global climate change. The demand for water of the population of the Central Asian countries is mainly satisfied at the expense of transboundary rivers. According to research, by 2025, due to climate change and global temperature increase, the reserve of glaciers supplying water to the Amu Darya and Sir Darya rivers is expected to decrease by 15-20%. It has been found that the volume of mountain glaciers is decreasing by 0.2-1 percent per year, and the snow reserves in mountain river basins are decreasing. In order to solve the problems presented in this article, it is necessary to improve the use of water-saving technologies in the irrigation of agricultural crops and fully automate the methods of water consumption calculation, remote control of the channel, recording of water losses in the channel and its prevention. elaborate proposals have been developed.
