Abstract
This chapter analyses the changes and continuities in the legal frameworks for water management in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. All countries developed new legal frameworks that include management principles related to integrated water resources management. While certain elements of this resonate with the former ‘complex management’ approach of the Soviet Union, many reforms were donor-driven and did not take local conditions and expertise into account. As a result, implementation among the countries varies. Achieving sustainable and equitable water management in the future requires reform paths that are based less on global concepts and more on local contexts and feasibilities.
