This article provides an in-depth analysis of Uzbekistan’s main water sources— the transboundary Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers— and the mechanisms of regional water management and cooperation. It discusses Uzbekistan’s approach within the context of water diplomacy, international legal norms, the Aral Sea crisis, and water-energy balance. The current state and prospects of cooperation among Central Asian states for equitable water use, as well as the role of modern technologies, are also examined.
