It should be borne in mind that the main water resources of the Aral Sea basin – the flow of the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers, according to the Memorandum, are distributed among the water consumers of the countries of Central Asia. Therefore, the withdrawal of water from these sources, the established limit from year to year is complicated. In the contour of irrigated agriculture, the volume of water consumption of agriculture is determined by natural and economic conditions, the technical condition of irrigation systems, the applied equipment and technology for irrigation of agricultural crops. The magnitude of water consumption also depends on the water supply of a particular soil – climate district, district. About 90% of available water resources are spent on irrigation of cultivated crops, for carrying out vegetative, moisture recharge and wash irrigation in the irrigated zone. The article considers the assessment of the current state of water use, the technical state of irrigation systems, as well as improving the management of water user associations in conditions of water scarcity.
