Article 62. Water intake quota for irrigated lands
Water Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan · Date: 30.07.2025 · In force
The water intake quota for irrigated lands is calculated by multiplying the area of the irrigated land plot by the norms for allocating a water intake quota per hectare of irrigated land.
The norms for allocating a water intake quota per hectare of irrigated land in a hydrographic zone are calculated by dividing the average annual volume of water actually taken for the last ten hydrological years on the irrigated lands in that hydrographic zone by the total area of the irrigated lands in that hydrographic zone. In this case, the mechanical composition of the soil, the relief of the location, the level of groundwater, climatic conditions, long-term water supply, and other factors are also taken into account.
The norm for allocating a water intake quota per hectare of irrigated land is calculated by water management bodies and can be reviewed no more than once a year.
