DESCRIPTION:The Khorezm province of western Uzbekistan remains one of the m
 ost agriculturally productive regions in Uzbekistan\, despite receiving on
 ly 92 mm of rainfall a year. However\, the pollution of surface and ground
 water resources and increasing water scarcity is threatening agricultural 
 practices throughout the province.\nMore than 450 small lakes are scattere
 d throughout the province\, mostly in natural depressions in the relativel
 y flat landscape. This presentation will discuss a project begun in 2006 t
 o assess the potential utility of these lakes as a water resource for aqua
 culture or irrigation. The study investigated the water quality and aquati
 c ecosystems of several lakes as well as the effects of anthropogenic impa
 cts on the lakes. Data were collected from 2006 to 2010.\nProject results 
 indicate that the Khorezm lakes may be a suitable water resource in water-
 scarce areas for aquaculture or irrigation water. Lake core results sugges
 t the lakes are relatively young and likely formed as a result of the irri
 gation network that was developed from the 1960s onward. Because the lakes
  are largely supplied with water from irrigation runoff originating from t
 he Amu Darya\, changes in land and water management could affect the avail
 ability of water and hence\, the suitability of these lakes as a water res
 ource.
