	Uzbekistan - GEOGRAPHY
		The western end of the valley is defined by the course of the Syrdariya, which runs across the northeastern sector of Uzbekistan from southern Kazakstan into the Qizilqum.
		Because of diversion of the Amu Darya and Syrdariya for cotton cultivation and other purposes, what once was the world's fourth largest inland sea has shrunk in the past thirty years to only about one-third of its 1960 volume and less than half its 1960 geographical size.
		The desiccation and salinization of the lake have caused extensive storms of salt and dust from the sea's dried bottom, wreaking havoc on the region's agriculture and ecosystems and on the population's health.

	Uzbekistan - ECONOMY
		The well-developed hydroelectric power generating system utilizes the Syrdariya, Naryn, and Chirchiq rivers, all of which arise to the east in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan.
		The city is the nucleus of an industrial region that was established near mineral and hydroelectric resources stretching across northeastern Uzbekistan from the Syrdariya in the west to the easternmost point of the nation.
		Because Russian emigration caused a shortage of skilled technicians, by 1994 half of the power generating units of the Syrdariya Hydroelectric Power Station had been shut down, and the newly constructed Novoangrenskiy Thermoelectric Power Station could not go on line because there was nobody to operate it.

		The main purpose of the project ìNavruzî is research and monitoring of radiation and ecological situation in basins of main rivers of Central Asia -- the Syrdariya and the Amudariya in the territories of Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan [1-3].
		The average value for рН in the Syrdariya and its tributaries was 8.0±0.2, and reductive-oxidative potential (ORP) was 400±40 mV.
		Fe concentration in water of the Syrdariya River, practically along the whole length of it, essentially exceeds (by several times) the sanitary norm of maximum permissible concentrations for drinking water.

		The Fergana Valley, the most densely populated region in Central Asia, spreads across northern Tajikistan from Uzbekistan on the west to Kyrgyzstan on the east (see fig.
		This long valley, which lies between two mountain ranges, reaches its lowest elevation of 320 meters at Khujand on the Syrdariya.
		Rivers bring rich soil deposits into the Fergana Valley from the surrounding mountains, creating a series of fertile oases that have long been prized for agriculture (see Agriculture, this ch.).

	foto8 - Emerging: Aral Sea by Paul Dixon
		The Aral Sea, situated in Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic of Uzbekistan, was once the world's fourth largest lake.
		In 1958, the Soviet Union, who at the time ruled over the region, diverted the Amudarya and the Syrdariya rivers that fed the Aral sea so that cotton and rice could be grown for export in the neighbouring desert plains.
		Consequently, less water from the rivers flowed into the Sea and, surrounded by a vast desert, the Aral Sea began to disappear.

		Known as the Nine Oghuz, this confederation was composed of Turkic-speaking peoples who formed the basis of powerful steppe empires in Inner Asia.
		The name Turkmen first appears in written sources of the tenth century to distinguish those Oghuz groups who migrated south into the Seljuk domains and accepted Islam from those that had remained in the steppe.
		Gradually, the term took on the properties of an ethnonym and was used exclusively to designate Muslim Oghuz, especially those who migrated away from the Syrdariya Basin.

	EXTENDED PROFILES - TAJIKISTAN
		By the 1980s, nearly 90 percent of water use in Central Asia was for agriculture.
		Of that quantity, nearly 75 percent came from the Amu Darya and the Syrdariya, the chief tributaries of the Aral Sea on the Kazakstan-Uzbekistan border to the northwest of Tajikistan.
		As the desiccation of the Aral Sea came to international attention in the 1980s, water-use policy became a contentious issue between Soviet republics such as Tajikistan, where the main rivers rise, and those farther downstream, including Uzbekistan.

		Most of Uzbekistan's rivers drain internally or dissipate before reaching a terminal body of water.
		The two largest rivers, the Amu Darya and Syrdariya, flow into the Aral Sea.
		They have been heavily tapped for irrigation, and as a result, the surface of the Aral Sea has declined sharply in recent decades, with severe environmental damage to the surrounding ecosystem.

		Irrigated agriculture and irretrievable water losses resulted in reduction of water flow into the Aral Sea and has influenced regional ground-water level.
		The waters of the Syrdariya River which flows into the Aral Sea carries in its undercurrent, a multi-component mixture, whose salinity reaches 3-4%, and its complete content is still unknown.
		Wastes of large industrial plants, drainage waters and flows from fields, and household flows of hundreds of settlements from the three states (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan) through which territory Syrdariya river is running, are accumulated in the undercurrent.
