Ubaydullaev, K. | Alimov, A.
In areas of intensive irrigated agriculture and relatively high population growth, where a high technogenic and anthropogenic pressure on the environment creates social and environmental tension. These areas include the administrative territories of the South Aral Sea, which are part of the Aral-Caspian lowland, occupying the vast delta region of the Amudarya River, with a length of more than 500 km. These natural and economic regions include the Republic of Karakalpakstan, the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan and the Tashauz region of Turkmenistan. The territory is located in the desert zone of the temperate zone, where natural conditions are characterized by severe aridity. More than 20% of the land fund of the Central Asian republics is concentrated here. Of these lands, the share of the Lower Amudarya is 17.2 million hectares. However, the diversion of large volumes of Amudarya water for irrigation in its upper and middle reaches, the development of natural resources of the Southern Aral Sea, becomes very difficult.
