“…In the South Caucasus countries located in the Kura basin, little attention is paid to ensuring the amount of ecological flow when using surface water . What is neglected is the fact that water bodies, along with socio-economic and water management functions, have also ecological, geospheric, landscape and recreational-aesthetic purposes (2000/60/EC;Ecological…, 2015;Imanov et al ., 2021) .…”

The article presents the analysis of changes in the annual flow of the Kura River and its large transboundary tributaries, resulting from climate change and anthropogenic factors, mainly irrigated agriculture. It is shown that a significant change in the flow regime of the Kura River began after the construction of the multi-purpose Mingachevir reservoir in 1953. Morevoer, climate change observed in the river basin since the mid 1990s manifests itself by an increase in air temperature and a decrease in precipitation, which has led to a further decrease in the river’s flow. During the lengthy drought period that began in 2011 and is still in progress, the decrease in the river flow in the downstream section of the Kura River has reached critical levels, causing serious problems regarding not only the irrigation of drylands, but also the supply of drinking water to settlements. The second part of the article describes also other social and economic, as well as environmental consequences of a decrease in the flow of the Kura River.

“…The critical roles of trusted technical information, inclusive dialogue among stakeholders, supportive policy and legal frameworks, and viable economics must not be overlooked to enable communities to have the confidence to drive changes. The importance of reliable information for decision-making on the expansion of the irrigated area in Azerbaijan, including the provision for ecological flows, is discussed by Imanov & Nuriyev (2022).…”

Congress Question 63 ‘What role is played by multidisciplinary dialogue to achieve sustainable development goals?’ sought to explore how a multidisciplinary approach can be enhanced with improved interactions and new layers to engage in the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) more effectively. In addressing these questions, some 39 papers summarized findings from about 24 countries representing substantially different economic situations, climate, farming systems and water resources. The papers illustrated the potential of irrigated agriculture to help end poverty (SDG 1), end hunger (SDG 2), to promote collaboration and investments (SDG 17) and sustain water‐related ecosystems (SDG 14 and SDG 15). The papers highlight the need for increased, and improved, exchange of information among multiple stakeholders involved in agricultural production systems, from field level, through the supply chain, to the consumers of the food and fibre created. Furthermore, a continued focus on capacity development among stakeholders in the sector is essential with improved communication of the value and challenges of agricultural water management beyond the immediate stakeholders (farmers, system operators, water sector regulators, etc.). As greater attention is directed towards the role of agricultural water use in the management of water resources and related ecosystems, the irrigation and drainage profession must communicate more effectively with the broader society to maintain a ‘social license to operate’.

“…The rivers of the equatorial and climatic zones in the Lankaran natural region are mainly fed by rainwater. [9,10,11] The snow accumulated during winter begins to melt in spring, and the meltwater feeds the rivers. Nutrition from snow water depends on the water resources in the snow and weather conditions during the melting period.…”

The effects of medium aerosol areas on the hydrological system in the forest cover of Eastern Zangezur were investigated using modern methods. The hydrological network schemes of the research area in 2000 and 2020 were drawn up, and the lengths of the river network were determined according to the grid code (degrees). The graph of the river network length change (in km) by classes (grid code) in the study area in 2000 and 2020, and the length of the river network by classes (grid code) in the growth of average aerosol areas is reflected. According to the compiled histogram, when comparing the years 2000 and 2020, the growth of the 1st, 6th, 8th, and 9th grade river networks decreased, but the total length increased by 213.18 km. The average aerosol total length increases when the area increases and decreases when it decreases, indicating that an increase in aerosol area is required for an increase in the river network.
