June for the summer period and 1 December for the winter period (Mirzaev
et al. 2009 ). WUAs as a key organisation within the hierarchy of WMOs (water
supplier) and farmers including other water users (water consumer) then estimate planned water use within the territory. As a rule, the water-use plan is
carried out using a bottom-up approach starting from the field plots up to the
water intake point in main canals and integrates all plans within the hierarchy
levels (Dukhovny et al. 2009 ; Mirzaev et al. 2009 ). Water distribution is
achieved by applying a top-down method (Fig. 10.6 ) based on water- use limits
(quotas). The Ministry of Agriculture and Water Management of the Republic
of Uzbekistan (MAWR RUz) establishes the seasonal limits (quotas) based on
the forecasted water availability in the sources (Basin Water Management
Organisation, BWO Syrdarya and UzHydromet). The basin administrative irrigation system (BAIS) establishes the limit quotas for the districts based on the
limit given by MAWR RUz, AIS to WUAs and WUAs to farmers and the other
water users within their territory.
