Another important issue is that spring and autumn flood waters should be collected and used for irrigation.

For example, 36 million cubic meters of water per year flows inefficiently from the stream that passes through Khonnazor, Chorloq,Kurgon, Shavona and Qiyqim neighborhoods of Koshrabot district. If a small reservoir is built here, it is possible to develop 2.5 thousand hectares of land, give new land to the population for intensive vegetable cultivation, employ 4 thousand unemployed people and lift 600 families out of poverty. It is possible to improve water supply in 50 thousand hectares by building such flood reservoirs in Kashkadarya, Namangan, Surkhandarya, Tashkent region and 9 other districts of Fergana. In this regard, officials were instructed to start construction of 10 flood reservoirs.
