CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THE SYRDARYA RIVER BASIN

摘要

Water allocation management in areas of such critical water deficit as the Aral Sea basin has always presented many complex problems. It requires the coordination of the water demands of all users within the basin with the restrictions imposed by the water supply regime. The water users in the basin include irrigated agriculture, industry, drinking water suppliers, hy-dropower, fish husbandry, ecosystem protection, recreation and flood control measures.
