Abstract

This article presents a systematic analysis of the geological structure and hydrogeological characteristics of the Isfara underground water deposit, which constitutes an integral part of the Fergana hydrogeological basin. The study provides a detailed examination of the Quaternary period sediments of the region, specifically the stratigraphy and lithological composition of the Sokh, Tashkent, Mirzachol, and Syrdarya complexes. The results of long-term scientific investigations concerning the hydrodynamic regime of the Isfara River alluvial fan, the recharge sources of groundwater, and the discharge balance are comprehensively summarized.
