The recent changes in agriculture have created dynamic environment where de-collectivization result formation of individual farm units. The water management system which was meant for collective farming, both hard (irrigation network) and soft (institutional) components became irrelevant for more individualized agricultural production. Recently established water users associations (WUAs) for filling gap on water management at the local level are facing many problems, such as chronic non-payment of membership fees, inability to install clear water management rules, etc. The objective of this paper is to analyze the recent changes in water management governance at the former collective farm level due to the structural changes in agriculture and present options on improving it. In the context of the IWRM discourse, the study will contribute to the development of more realistic plans in the context of transitional economies of Former Soviet Union (FSU).

Accurate assessment of the soil salinization is an important step for mitigation of agricultural land degradation. Remote sensing (RS) is widely used for salinity assessment, but knowledge on prediction precision is lacking. A RS-based salinity assessment in Khorezm allows for modest reliable prediction with weak (R2=0.15–0.29) relationship of the salinity maps produced with RS and interpolation of electromagnetic EM38 during growth periods and more reliable (R2=0.35–0.56) beyond irrigation periods. Modeling with HYDRUS-1D at slightly, moderately and highly saline sites at various depths showed that irrigation forces salts to move to deeper layers: salts reappear in the upper profile during dry periods. Beyond irrigation events, salts gradually accumulated in the upper soil layers without fluctuations. Coupling RS techniques with numerical modeling provided better insight into salinity dynamics than any of these approaches alone. This should be of interest to farmers and policy makers since the combination of methods will allow for better planning and management.
