Abstract

Water consumption and water use have been continuously increasing, and the impact of economic activities on the hydrological regime of water flow, especially in irrigation, population and industry, has increased significantly. In particular, it is significantly increasing in the countries of Central Asia, including the Republic of Uzbekistan. Today's global problem is the severity, scale and unusualness of anthropogenic climate change, especially in developing countries, creates the need for action with an urgent scientific approach. Undoubtedly, the assessment of the observed climate change and the current state of water resources will require many years of in-depth scientific research. One of the factors limiting the development of the countries of the Amu Darya basin is the lack of water resources. The world is experiencing intensive climate warming, which leads to the melting of glaciers, which are the main sources of fresh water for the river basins that make up the water resources of the countries of Central Asia. The article gives an assessment of regional and local climate change and gives recommendations for reducing water shortages in the countries of the province
