This guide addresses the necessity of adopting water-saving technologies in Uzbekistan’s agriculture, where water resources from rivers like Amu Darya and Syr Darya are vital but diminishing due to global warming. It emphasizes the inefficiency of traditional irrigation methods, which waste significant water through seepage, evaporation, and deep infiltration. The document advocates for drip irrigation technology (TST) as a modern, resource-efficient solution that delivers water precisely to the plant root zone based on actual crop needs.

The purpose is to provide agricultural specialists and farmers with a step-by-step practical manual for successfully implementing, designing, and operating drip irrigation systems to improve water use efficiency and crop yields while supporting sustainable agriculture in Uzbekistan.
