  • Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Management in the Northwestern Part of Uzbekistan
    agronomy Article Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Management in the Northwestern Part of Uzbekistan Ahmad Hamidov 1,2 , Mukhamadkhan Khamidov 2 and Javlonbek Ishchanov 2,* 1 Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Eberswalder Straße 84, 15374 Müncheberg, Germany; [email protected] 2 Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME), Kary-Niyaziy 39, Tashkent 100000, Uzbekistan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +998-90-985-9338 Received: 8 July 2020; Accepted: 7 August 2020; Published: 10 August 2020 Abstract: Global climate change can have a significant impact on the development and sustainability of agricultural production. Climate scenarios indicate that an expected increase in air temperature in semiarid Uzbekistan can lead to an increase in evapotranspiration from agricultural fields, an increase in irrigation water requirements, and a deterioration in the ameliorative status of irrigated lands. The long-term mismanagement of irrigation practices and poor conditions of drainage infrastructure have led to an increase in the water table and its salinization level in the northwestern part of Uzbekistan. This article presents the results of an analysis of the amelioration of irrigated lands in the Khorezm region of Uzbekistan as well as the modeling of the dynamics of water table depths and salinity levels using the Mann–Kendall trend test and linear regression model. The study estimated the water table depths and salinity dynamics under the impact of climate change during 2020–2050 and 2050–2100. The results show that the water table depths in the region would generally decrease (from 1.72 m in 2050 to 1.77 m by 2100 based on the Mann–Kendall trend test; from 1.75 m in 2050 to 1.79 m by 2100 according to the linear regression model), but its salinity level would increase (from 1.72 g L 1 in 2050 to 1.85 g L 1 by 2100 based on the Mann–Kendall trend test; from 1.97 g L 1 · − · − · − in 2050 to 2.1 g L 1 by 2100 according to the linear regression model).

Ann Med & Surg Case Rep: AMSCR-100040 Received date: 31 December, 2019; Accepted date: 04 January, 2020; Published date: 10 January, 2020 Abstract The available information on the epidemiology of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is fragmentary and contradictory and does not give a complete picture of the prevalence of this process in different regions, among different age and ethnic groups. There is no data on the epidemiology of PAD of the lower extremities among the indigenous people from 45 to 90 years of the Khorezm region (Uzbekistan). The use of ABI for screening of PAD is especially justified in elderly patients with atherosclerosis or who have a high cardiovascular risk, which is important for secondary prevention. Keywords: Ankle-brachial index; Khorezm region; Peripheral and ethnic groups. The prevalence of PAD in the general population artery disease; Prevalence of the Khorezm region is not exactly known, primarily due to the lack of data on the prevalence of asymptomatic PAD.

  • Multi-Scale Targeting of Land Degradation in Northern Uzbekistan Using Satellite Remote Sensing
    Multi-scale targeting of land degradation in northern Uzbekistan using satellite remote sensing Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades (Dr. rer. nat.) der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn vorlegt von Olena Dubovyk aus Kyiv, Ukraine Bonn, July 2013 Angefertigt mit Genehmigung der Mathematisch‐Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich‐Wilhelms‐Universität Bonn Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Gunter Menz Gutachter: Prof Dr. Christopher Conrad Tag der Promotion: 18.10.2013 Erscheinungsjahr: 2013 With patience, it is possible to dig a well with a teaspoon. Ukrainian proverb To see a friend no road is too long. Ukrainian proverb ABSRACT Advancing land degradation (LD) in the irrigated agro‐ecosystems of Uzbekistan hinders sustainable development of this predominantly agricultural country. Until now, only sparse and out‐of‐date information on current land conditions of the irrigated cropland has been available. An improved understanding of this phenomenon as well as operational tools for LD monitoring is therefore a pre‐requisite for multi‐scale targeting of land rehabilitation practices and sustainable land management. This research aimed to enhance spatial knowledge on the cropland degradation in the irrigated agro‐ecosystems in northern Uzbekistan to support policy interventions on land rehabilitation measures. At the regional level, the study combines linear trend analysis, spatial relational analysis, and logistic regression modeling to expose the LD trend and to analyze the causes. Time series of 250‐m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), summed over the growing seasons of 2000‐2010, were used to determine areas with an apparent negative vegetation trend; this was interpreted as an indicator of LD.
