dc.descriptionThis chapter evaluates drip and conventional surface irrigation methods in the Khorezm region, Uzbekistan, focusing on poorly drained and naturally-irrigated lands. With water supplies dwindling and agriculture consuming large amounts, efficient irrigation is critical. The study compares drip and furrow irrigation in terms of soil moisture, water seepage, and cotton yield. Two experimental fields were analyzed—one with drip irrigation and the other with furrow irrigation. Methods included soil moisture measurement and water distribution assessments to evaluate efficiency. The research highlights the inefficiencies in traditional irrigation, leading to water loss and low productivity, and provides recommendations for optimizing practices. The findings aim to enhance water use efficiency and improve agricultural productivity in Uzbekistan’s arid conditions
