Article​​​​​​​ 95. State support for the use of water-saving irrigation methods and technologies

For the purpose of further expanding the use of water-saving irrigation methods and technologies in agriculture and increasing the productivity and efficiency of water resources use, the authorized republican executive bodies in the field of regulating water use apply the following state regulation measures:

further developing the state support system for agricultural producers who introduce water-saving irrigation methods and technologies;

widely introducing water-saving irrigation methods and technologies in cultivated areas irrigated by irrigation wells and vertical drainage wells, as well as with the help of pumping stations or pumps;

stimulating research and development on water-saving irrigation methods and technologies, including improving stimulation mechanisms taking into account the soil and climatic conditions of the territories of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the experience of previously conducted tests, as well as work on creating new highly effective systems;

increasing awareness of existing water-saving methods, including highly effective methods and technologies of surface irrigation;

developing methodological recommendations for the design, introduction, and use of water-saving irrigation methods and technologies, including criteria for assessing their effective use based on the specifics of irrigated areas, agricultural crops, and their varieties;

organizing the training, retraining, and professional development of specialists in the introduction and use of water-saving irrigation methods and technologies;

expanding the use of technology for planning agricultural crop areas using automated laser levelers, as well as the underground closed irrigation system using modern flexible pipes;

developing and introducing scientifically-based norms of water circulation in industry and in domestic water supply;

using remote sensing systems to monitor and purposefully improve the productivity of water resources;

introducing water circulation and other organizational measures, as well as technologies aimed at combating water loss or its irrational use in the field.
