	Turkmenistan - Agriculture
		As a result of the construction of irrigation structures, and especially of the Garagum Canal, the hydrological balance of the republic has changed, with more water in the canals and adjacent areas and less in the rivers and the Aral Sea.
		The largest of the republic's eleven reservoirs are the Sary Yazy on the Murgap River, which occupies forty-six square kilometers of surface and has a capacity of 239 million cubic meters, and the Hawuz Khan on the Garagum Canal, which occupies ninety square kilometers of surface and has a capacity of 460 million cubic meters.
		High-quality melons are grown in the lower and middle reaches of the Amu Darya and in the Tejen and Murgap oases.

		Other major rivers are the Tejen (1,124 km); the Murgap (852 km); and the Atrek (660 km).
		The most productive cotton lands in Turkmenistan (the middle and lower Amu Darya and the Murgap oasis) receive as much as 250 kilograms of fertilizer per hectare, compared with the average application of thirty kilograms per hectare.
		Furthermore, most fertilizers are so poorly applied that experts have estimated that only 15 to 40 % of the chemicals can be absorbed by cotton plants, while the remainder washes into the soil and subsequently into the groundwater.

		The mountain streams of Turkmenistan dissipate upon reaching the arid sands and parched clay of the Garagum, so Turkmenistan’s only significant water sources are rivers that originate in other countries.
		The Amu Darya, which originates in the mountainous Pamirs region of Tajikistan east of Turkmenistan and forms part of the country’s border with Uzbekistan, and the Murgap, which originates in Afghanistan, are the two largest permanent rivers.
		Water from the Amu Darya and the Murgap is diverted into the Garagum Canal (built during the Soviet period) to supply water to the arid southern portions of Turkmenistan.

	Turkmenistan - HISTORY
		Prior to the Turkmen habitation, most of this desert had been uninhabited, while the more habitable areas along the Caspian Sea, Kopetdag Mountains, Amu Darya, and Murgap River (Murgap Deryasy) were populated predominantly by Iranians.
		The city-state of Merv was an especially large sedentary and agricultural area, important as both a regional economic-cultural center and a transit hub on the famous Silk Road.
		In the late seventeenth century, the union dissolved and the three senior tribes moved eastward and later southward.

		My host family was disappointed looking at my Murgap camp pictures -- the other girls are in shorts and tanks and I'm in a Turkmen dress.
		Shatlyk is supposedly one of the hottest inhabited places in the country, and July is the hottest month.
		Shatlyk camp is very different from Murgap -- my group couldn't be more different from Happy Team.

	Letter 31
		My cabin is "Happy Team." We're definitely the ragtag but adorably appealing underdogs of Murgap Camp.
		But anyway in general Murgap Camp is heaven.
		I wake up and sit on the tapjan drinking real coffee and milk (Heidi's backyard and all her neighbors' are open and it's much more scenic than Baÿramali) then spend all day playing with sweet (and a few obnoxious) little kids and collapse in that satisfactorily exhausted way at the end of the day.

		Approximately 35% of the potable water fails to meet the governmental standards for drinking water.
		The main surface waters used as a source of drinking water include the Amu Darya, Murgap and Tedzhen rivers and the Karakum Channel, which are very polluted.
		Drinking water, acquired from these surface sources, generally does not meet the government standards because the purification and desinfection equipment is either non-existent or inefficient.

		In 2000-2002, along with four US Peace Corps health volunteers, Mary alumni organized conferences, seminars, and workshops on preventive medicine in the Murgap region, where I grew up.
		That work helped me to understand the real situation of people’s lives in my hometown.
		Recently several schools in Murgap received new computers from our Government, but teachers didn’t know how to install software.

		In response to officials complaining that there was a shortage of water, Nyyazow praised the abundance of water reserves in the country.
		"The total volume of water Turkmenistan currently gets from rivers Amu Darya, Murgap and Etrek as well as from underground sources and from precipitation are quite enough for the country's needs for about 18 months,," he said.
		At the same time, Nyyazow warned officials not to overuse the underground waters near Asgabat and ordered that the practice of digging private wells be stopped.

	SHRINE PILGRIMAGE IN TURKMENISTAN
		There is more than one shrine to Baba Gambar in Central Asia.
		The largest and most widely known is located in southeastern Turkmenistan near the Murgap river some 120 kilometers south of Marï (ancient Merv).
		While there is a tomb located in the shrine, some elder Turkmen claim that he is not buried at the site and that he in fact never died.
