THE ROLE OF THE RIVERS CENTRAL ASIA IN ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION AND WATER SUPPLY

Hydraulic dams play a dual role on the rivers of Central Asia: they contribute to the production of hydroelectric power and flood control, to keep the flow into his natural course, and are used to regulate the flow of river water for later irrigation of agricultural fields. In order to resolve the real problems on the use of water, in terms of increasing the deficit, it is necessary, in addition to developing new water management system, to study and to provide for the gradual conversion of agricultural production in Central Asia
