Kodirjonov Omadjon Tavakkaljon ugli , Andijan State University, 1st year master’s student, History major, UzbekistanAbstract
This study undertakes a comprehensive examination of the scope, objectives, and broader implications of the irrigation reforms introduced in Uzbekistan in 2003. Drawing extensively on legislative acts, regulatory frameworks, and previously unexplored archival records, the research critically evaluates how these reforms reshaped water management structures, influenced institutional arrangements, and affected agricultural practices at both regional and national levels. Through this evidence-based approach, the study seeks to clarify the historical significance of the 2003 reform package and to illuminate its role in the transformation of Uzbekistan’s irrigation governance system.
