THE PROBLEM OF WATER AND LAND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This article examines the current state of water and land resources in Uzbekistan. Since the agricultural sector in Uzbekistan occupies a significant share of the national and gross domestic product value, the quality of these resources is especially important for our republic. The main problem in obtaining the high- quality agricultural products in the region is the lack of water, salinization and soil erosion, as well as their secondary salinization, which is amplified due to climate change in this region. Studies show that this affects the productivity of an agricultural products. Taking this into account we understand the necessity of reduction of the harvesting of cotton and rice for less moisture consumed fruit and vegetable products. To achieve this expected results in the management of water and land resources, it is necessary to use the international experience of other countries, applying innovative water-saving technologies in the system of irrigation of land resources incorporating the problem of climate change.
