Title
UN - A Case Study on Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation In Uzbekistan and their Role in Achieving Sustainability of Human Settlements
Abstract
Uzbekistan Republic is successfully developing a democratic state based on development and strengthening
of socially-oriented market economy. Reforms being undertaken in the country since gaining independence,
ensure consistent progressing of the country towards achievement of sustainability, and this is proved by
positive changes in the economy, social sphere, ecology.
Despite high rate of water supply network construction, there is a problem of water supply for remote and
hard-to-reach rural settlements. In accordance with techno-economic estimations, more than 1,183
settlements (about 900 of them are located in desert and semi-desert areas characterized by the lack of
sources of fresh ground water) are referred to the category of settlements, where due to economic and
technical reasons it is impossible to arrange water supply with the use of traditional methods. It is
impossible either to supply natural gas and electricity to these locations. Evidently, in these cases it is
appropriate to seek alternative options for solution of the problems of water and electricity supply.
