Abstract:
The use of water resources in Uzbekistan has a long history and character. According to
historical data, land irrigation has developed in the eastern countries, mainly from the upper
reaches of the rivers to the lower reaches. The development of irrigated agriculture in ancient
times had three stages. Initially, primary simple irrigation was carried out in the existing tribes.
In a second stage, as a result of the formation of slave communities, agricultural societies began
to build relatively larger canals. Finally, centralized slavery states emerged, which built and
expanded irrigation networks. These are the stages of their water intake from these irrigation
sources and centralized management. The achievements in the field of irrigation in the Central
Asian region have set an example for other countries and stimulated their development. These
peculiar features of water use and its history are analysed in the article.
