Technological and policy challenges in implementing water-saving irrigation technologies
Water-saving irrigation technologies (WSITs) are meant to improve water use efficiency. Yet, while these technologies are available, their implementation depends on various factors, including the risk perception of farmers and the existence of social learning. This paper aims to study Uzbek farmers’ perceptions of adopting WSITs, focusing on their perceived benefits and challenges. The findings reveal that, while participants are aware of WSITs’ …
Analysing Groundwater Governance in Uzbekistan through the Lenses of Social-Ecological Systems and Informational Governance
Worldwide, groundwater is often poorly understood and misgoverned due to difficulties in monitoring and collective action organisation. Problems occur due to groundwater’s invisible nature, consequent poor groundwater understanding, and systemic institutional failures. In Central Asia, groundwater coordination is important at local as well as national levels, considering regional water competition since state transitions. Historic water overuse f…
Assessment of Soil Salinity Changes under the Climate Change in the Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan
Soil salinity negatively affects plant growth and leads to soil degradation. Saline lands result in low agricultural productivity, affecting the well-being of farmers and the economic situation in the region. The prediction of soil salinization dynamics plays a crucial role in sustainable development of agricultural regions, in preserving the ecosystems, and in improving irrigation management practices. Accurate information through monitoring and…
Operationalizing water-energy-food nexus research for sustainable development in social-ecological systems
In social-ecological systems, natural resource management can be characterized by trade-offs across sectors and sustainability targets. The water-energy-food (WEF) nexus concept makes explicit various trade-offs in order to maximize synergies of interventions. However, there are few successful examples of its operationalization in research settings. Here, we explore in a learning setting if sustainability impact assessment (SIA) protocols can be …
How Can Intentionality and Path Dependence Explain Change in Water-Management Institutions in Uzbekistan
We review historical and contemporary literature on change in water-management institutions in post-socialist Uzbekistan, exploring the dynamics of change of formal institutions in irrigation-water management there by analyzing relationships between the perceptions and beliefs of policymakers, policy interventions they undertake, and the consequences that these seem to have on resource-use practices. We have mainly relied on the reviewed literatu…
