While the public water supply organization Suvokava claims that there are no problems of public water supply to the urban households in the Khorezm province of Uzbekistan, water shortages occur, particularly during the summer. During this period, urban households utilize groundwater as an alternative source to the public water supply. The data suggest that there are two common pool resource problems: first, between the agricultural and the urban sector; and secondly between upstream and downstream cities.
