Abstract
This article analyzes existing deficiencies in water resource project management in Uzbekistan and Central Asia, proposing effective solutions. The main purpose is to identify causes of problems in regional water resource management and develop recommendations for eliminating such shortcomings in the future. Based on literature analysis, problems such as declining water resources, aging infrastructure, weak regional cooperation in water management, insufficient financial resources, and inequity in water distribution have been identified in Uzbekistan and Central Asia, and solutions have been proposed.
