Abstract

The article providesa historiographic review of the works written on the traditional irrigation system of the SyrdaryanKazakhs. Since the second half of the 19th century, in order to implement the policy of tsarist Russia on the resettlement of the outlying lands, Russian officials and researchers began to actively study water-land relations and irrigation systems of the local population. In other words, studies of Russian officials and travelers have become systematic. Thus, the work of N.A. Dingelstedt “Experience in studying irrigation of the Turkestan region. Syr-Darya region "was written on the basis of the results of a study initiated by the Turkestan General Government. In addition, in pre-revolutionary historiography, this topic is considered in the works of L. Meyer,E. Smirnov, A. I. Shakhnazarov, N. Gavrilov, G. N. Cherdantsev, etc. After the formation of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR and the formation of schools of archeology and ethnography, stationary archaeological and ethnographic expeditions are carried out in the regions of the country, the results of which are reflected in academic publications and scientific articles. The peculiarity of this period lies in the fact that this problem and other similar issues were analyzed from a scientific point of view. Despite the fact that this topichas not been considered as a special object of research since 1991, it has been noted in the dissertations of individual applicants, and in monographs of researchers.
