Abstract

Usable water resource is limited, even though 71% of world is covered by water. Therefore, enough conflicts to the usable water can be found throughout the world. Usable water for irrigation is a top priority, probably it would be seconding only to the drink water supply. However, prioritizing one usage over another is challenging to many stakeholders. Therefore, sustainable water usage is essential to avoid any conflicts among the stakeholders; nevertheless, highly challenging in the developing world. Therefore, this paper discusses the water saving irrigation practices and ways to use agriculture around the world, including Uzbekistan. Relying on the ancient irrigation technologies used by ancestors and also modern irrigation methods, different irrigation water management technologies are presented to apply for various weather conditions and water availability situations. Suitable irrigation practices are discussed based on the water needs especially the arid countries, such as Uzbekistan. The results of an experiment conducted for hilly areas of Uzbekistan using “mulching” agro-technology is presented along with its suitability for Uzbekistan. Therefore, the expectations of sustainable water usage for irrigation is proposed.
