On March 5, 2026, Uzbekistan finalized a special allocation of 600 billion Uzbek shillings, focusing on the modernization of canals and efficient utilization of water resources. The funds are divided into two major sectors: 480 billion yuan for the construction of concrete canals and irrigation networks, with a focus on rebuilding 389 kilometers of high leakage channels; 120 billion for water conservation and management. This move is expected to save 206 million cubic meters of water annually, 26 million kilowatt hours of electricity, and improve water supply to 158400 hectares of farmland. As a water poor country with a per capita capacity of only 702 cubic meters, this allocation is not only a short-term emergency response to agricultural irrigation pressure, but also a key long-term strategic step in achieving the goal of 85% of the population enjoying reliable water supply by 2030.
