Main objective:

Conducting scientific research on the study and rational use of groundwater resources and reserves to ensure a guaranteed supply of high-quality drinking water to the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Services provided:

• Forecasting changes in groundwater resources and reserves of the Republic of Uzbekistan according to various scenarios of surface water withdrawal and usage;
• Assessing the current state of underground drinking water deposits, taking into account the intensification of human impact and the conditions for groundwater deposit formation;
• Searching for new promising areas of locally accumulating fresh groundwater (in fissures, groundwater lenses, and gallery-type deposits) and evaluating the possibility of their use;
• Developing well-founded proposals for the rational and integrated use of water resources, considering changes in water management conditions;
• Substantiating the most effective types of groundwater use (well-type and gallery-type);
• Identifying sources that negatively impact groundwater deposits, studying the process of their occurrence, and developing recommendations for their elimination and impact reduction;
• Developing an optimal monitoring network for groundwater conditions in the context of fresh groundwater deposits;
• Substantiating the rational use of groundwater for drinking needs and justifying the possibility of its use for technical water supply and irrigation;
• Justifying the possibility of comprehensive and rational use of all waters affecting water circulation in the national economy (wastewater, drainage water, mine water, etc.);
• Substantiating projects and schemes for water intake structures when using water for irrigation in industrial enterprises, settlements, and agriculture.
