Experience of the Basin Water Management Assocoation of the Syrdarya to Create a Database Period

Abstract

The Syrdarya water basin association is an intergovernmental coordinating organization which is part of the interstate commission (ICWC) on Aral Sea rescue in the role of "Executor". Transboundary waters are distributed to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan with the help of hydraulic structures within the association. In order to avoid disagreements between "water consumers" in distributing the transboundary waters of the Syr Darya, the operating organization should have up-to-date information on the amount of water flowing into Syr Darya River and on consumption of water distributed among users. This article describes the experience of the BWO "Syr Darya" in improving data collection and management of hydrosystems within its balance.
