Analytical Approach for Representing the Water Landscape Evolution in Samarkand Oasis (Uzbekistan)

In the oasis of Samarkand the water supply depends on a complex system of artificial channels of different sizes that enclose the region in several mesopotamias, each one with its ecological and environmental characteristics. This paper describes the methodological framework applied to study the origin, chronology and use of this hydraulic network by combining the data obtained by Soviet, Uzbek and International Teams with topographical maps, satellite images and aerial photos of different periods.
