Tashkent, October 14 (Xinhua) – Uzbekistan intends to advance improvements to its water resources management system, the presidential press service announced on Monday.
"On October 13, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan reviewed a presentation on the digitalization of water management, improving the water resources management system at the grassroots level, and increasing the attractiveness of the sector for the private sector," the statement said.
"Today, the country operates over 50,000 kilometers of irrigation networks, 1,600 pumping stations, and over 10,000 hydraulic structures. In recent years, systematic steps have been taken to reform the water sector, modernize irrigation infrastructure, and improve water use efficiency. However, a number of issues remain at the lower level of the system that require a comprehensive approach—primarily in terms of improving service efficiency, billing transparency, and ensuring the financial sustainability of organizations," the statement notes.
According to the press service, the presentation discussed measures to further deepen digitalization processes and improve governance mechanisms in the industry.
"The industry is developing an information system called the State Water Cadastre. It will collect water resource data from relevant ministries and agencies and compile it into a single database. This, in turn, will simplify the information exchange process and reduce the need for paper-based reporting. The full launch of the system is scheduled for April 2026," the statement reads.
