This study explores the construction ofsmall reservoirs (SRs) asastrategic solution toaddress water scarcity inKashkadarya Province, Uzbekistan, where agricultural productivity isheavily dependent onirrigation. Byutilising geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) technologies, optimal locations for reservoirs were identified, focusing onimproving the water availability for irrigation during critical periods. The research highlights the socio-economic and environmental benefits ofSRs, including enhanced agricultural yields, increased employment opportunities, and reduced reliance onenergy-intensive pumping stations. The findings indicate that the construction ofan 18 Mm<sup>3</sup> reservoir in the Ayakchisoy River could supply water to 26.5 thousand hectares, thereby improving the region’s resilience to climate variability. This approach offers a sustainable framework for managing water resources in arid regions, contributing to food security and economic stability.
