ABSTRACT
The article aims to analyze the state and solution of the water crisis in Uzbekistan through the prism of modern international and national trends. New political realities create the need to recognize Afghanistan as an equal user of cross-border waters in Central Asia, especially in light of the growing water crisis in Central Asia. The peak nature of the water crisis is indicated by the introduction of an emergency water saving regime in Uzbekistan. The author contemplates the potential for Central Asia and Afghanistan to share cross-border waters, taking into account the operation of the Koshtepa Canal, and also the process of turning cross-border waters into a commodity and charging for them. The Uzbek approach to addressing the national water crisis through internal resources is reviewed, emphasizing the importance of using water-saving technologies extensively in agriculture and industry, while also seeking external water sources. In order to address the water crisis, it is proposed to utilize the Amudarya waters through bilateral and multilateral relations between countries of the region. The article also refers to the need to enshrine certain concepts regarding water resources management in legislation, define their implementation mechanisms, revise the concept of a state water inventory, and improve water management through government support for research.
