Abstract

This article examines Uzbekistan’s escalating water crisis and its impact on socio-economic development,
environmental sustainability, and regional stability. With over 85% of surface water originating from transboundary rivers
and agriculture consuming the majority through inefficient irrigation methods, the country faces mounting stress due
to climate change and outdated infrastructure. In response, Uzbekistan has introduced key reforms such as the Water
Law, the National Water Strategy, and the State Program. Sustainable solutions depend on institutional transformation,
regional cooperation, and the adoption of water-saving technologies
