Keywords – natural resource, environment, new technologies, water shortage, drip irrigation.

Water is the source of life, because there is no life without water. Water is life, which has had an incomparable influence on the evolution of livelihoods, environment, and climate changes for millions of years. It should be noted that the demand and need for water is increasing more than ever. As a result, there is a water shortage all over the world.

Water is:

: composition of 55-65% (up to 80% in children) of the human body

: one of the most used and diminishing resources on our planet

: One of the factors that cause interstate threats and wars in the 21st century

: although it covers more than 70% of the land, only 3% of it is suitable for drinking.

: one of the causes of climate migration and the increase of immigrants around the world

 A person without water can live up to 1 week at most. In 2023, 2 billion people, that is, a quarter of the world’s population, will be without clean drinking water, and in the next 10 years, 700 million people, that is, we will join them [1]. So, as written above, the topic is relevant, it needs to be written and read!

“It is necessary to form a collective understanding about the economical use of water. In order not to provoke an environmental virus that leads to economic and political pathology,” said Bori Olikhanov, chairman of the Committee on Development of the Aral Bay Region of the Oliy Majlis.¾ of the world is water. Can’t we turn it into drinking water? Yes, but this is a very expensive process. 

 According to the standards of the World Health Organization, one person needs 50-100 liters of water per day. In rural areas of Africa, a person consumes 10-20 liters of water per day, which is significantly lower than usual. Saudi Arabia is the leading country in drinking water consumption (500 liters of water per person per day) [1].

The main part of fresh water, i.e. 40%, is groundwater. Extracting them is, firstly, expensive, secondly, labor-intensive, and thirdly, a temporary solution that runs out and eventually dries up underground wells and leads to a water crisis.Although rivers and dams are important for water supply, they only contain about 1% of fresh water. alternating with snow.Fresh water extraction from icebergs and glaciers is also discussed. But it is not known what consequences such projects will have on the ecology of our planet, apart from the fact that it is not technically feasible at the moment.According to experts’ calculations, by 2050, water resources are expected to decrease by 5% in the Sirdarya basin and 15% in the Amudarya basin [2], and the demand for water will increase by 50%. Today, about 2 billion people on earth need clean drinking water, and more than 2 billion 300 million people are forced to consume food that does not meet sanitary requirements.

On February 8 of this year, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on improving drinking water supply in the regions. The main focus was on providing the population with clean drinking water.After the order of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on December 27, 2018, “On urgent measures to create favorable conditions for the widespread use of drip irrigation technology in the cultivation of cotton raw materials”, positive projects will be implemented to prevent water wastage. started [3].The water-related problems of the Central Asian countries were discussed in Tashkent: on January 18, a roundtable discussion was held in the capital of Uzbekistan on the topic “Problems and prospects of effective use of water resources of Russia and Central Asia.”

According to the forecasts of the World Bank, the lack of clean drinking water in Central Asia will cause the GDP to decrease by 11%. 80-90% of water resources in the region are used in agriculture. The total area of irrigated land in the region is 7.695 million, and in Uzbekistan it is 4.2 million [4].It is not difficult to imagine the consequences of a shortage of a strategically important resource. This means a threat to the production of agricultural products, a decrease in the volume of exports, and a deterioration in the quality of life of the population engaged in agriculture.What is the solution to the problem?

“Drip irrigation systems. The system is being installed, but it is necessary to expand its coverage. We need to create a system to encourage farmers to introduce drip irrigation, as well as increase water tariffs,” says the director of the “Ma’no” research center. Bakhtiyar Ergashev [4].Director of the Institute of Socio-Economic Research, Dr. Alexey Zubes, believes that Russia can help in these matters [4].

Another important recognition is that Uzbekistan ranks first in Central Asia, second among the CIS countries, fourth in Asia and 13th in the world in terms of introducing water-saving technologies [2].

In conclusion, water scarcity is a global problem of the century, so all the countries of the world should fight it together, help each other, and the population should follow the culture of using water. Because as the water problem grows in a place, the hope of life in that place fades away. If this problem is not prevented, living creatures will be forced to migrate to wetlands.

In my opinion, we need to prevent this problem from becoming bigger like the “Island problem” as soon as possible, and I think that the people of the world should understand that the natural resource will end one day and use it sparingly for the sake of future generations.

Samarkand is a tourism center

Samarkand – an honorable past with a great future, can be called one of the greatest masterpieces not only of Central Asia, but also of the world. Even if the world’s greatest poets and philosophers called it the garden of the heart, the jewel of the East, the mirror of the world, and even the face of the earth, they would not have been able to describe all the beauty and wealth of this beautiful city.

This city has given birth to many great people in its bosom, raised them and is still keeping them in its bosom. The cultural heritage of Samarkand is very great. This city, which has been the center of various countries for centuries, has been the main center of the Great Silk Road. The great world-lover Amir Temur chose this city as the capital of his kingdom and developed the city as a political, cultural and educational center. Thousands of madrasahs, mosques, and gardens were built in Samarkand during the Timurid period. Over the years, the madrasahs he built have not lost their strength.

During the years of independence, reconstruction works were carried out throughout the city in order to increase the touristic character of Samarkand. At the beginning of the 21st century, the city was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List under the name “Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures”! Today, the most visible places of the city are Registan ensemble, Shahi Zinda, Gori Amir complex and others. More than five million tourists from all over the world visit the city every year to enjoy its beauty.

In recent years, as a result of the work carried out by the government to develop tourism in the country, the tourist center of Samarkand was built in the city. Four-five-star hotels, conference halls, entertainment centers, and an eternal city were built there. Journalists of the prestigious European publication note that the opening of the Silk Road Samarkand complex will increase the flow of tourists to Uzbekistan. With the attention of our state, the city is becoming more beautiful year by year, which leads to rapid growth of domestic and foreign tourism. The growth of tourism also affects the development of economic and social spheres in Samarkand.

Fall 

A partly frisky fall, a lonely jump
Across the plane
A watershed benchmark
Full of throttled wishes 
The macabre knew what to do with anxiety
Your face a full flanked rose garden
Tattooed in Australia, knows what to do
Coming over a backfired cameo at the end 
Why is that blue flower so small? 
I floated friskly at the fall garden
Silencing the primary force
For all at once I swamed a whole gypsy plane.

Friendship

Friendship is close to the concepts of brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood, but from a psychological point of view, it is different from each other. We believe that friendship is a psychological concept. Friendship is a wonderful bond that connects one person to another person, one nation to another nation. Every person and every country has a brother country, a friend. Even lonely people. Loneliness is not unique to people. People have many friends, but only one friend. .He stands by your side in good and bad days. Friendship is a relationship between people based on views, mutual understanding and trust. If you trust your friend to tell your secrets, he will never He does not reveal to whom. There are poems about friendship with a wonderful meaning. Friendship can be likened to a glass, because the glass cannot be restored and returned to its original state…

Friendship is not likened to a bottle for nothing.!!!

SEEKING GOD’S KINGDOM ON EARTH
A Psalm-inspired prayer for leaving the earthly world for God’s Kingdom: “My heart is set on heaven, my soul long to fly, to leave this earthly world, and touch the sky, I yearn for God’s Kingdom,...What does it mean to seek God’s Kingdom, To follow His Holy Son Jesus? This is the life I’m prepared to seek and leave behind confusion, chaos, and hate. My joy, hope, or contentment. I have this hope and I have a future.” “As I grow in the Spirit of God, I experience joy, hope and contentment. I find continued joy, compassion and hope because the scriptures say that God has plans to give me a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 I have this hope and I have a future in Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Hear my plea my Heavenly Father, I kneel and bow my head in obedience, to live a life that is filling my mind, heart, and soul. I contemplate about a life you have given me since childhood. These memories give me solace. I give you praise and thanksgiving for I have Salvation and Redemption. 

MERCY AND SALVATION

My soul rests beside the waters of your heart. It’s stillness which brings me contentment and faith. I have not lacked the faith You placed within me since childhood. It was a time of prayer and reflection to watch the candle of your presence on the altar. I have prayed to You and praised You for decades. It’s with profound humility I kneel at the altar of lights, remembering many times that I sought to be close to Your Heavenly Kingdom, Your Kingdom
has fulfilled all my needs and wants. I seek nothing more than your Holy son Jesus Christ to reside with my soul. Prayer: My Father, Creator of all that is good, please accept my prayer that I may continue in Your Being for it is Your grace that gives me a sense of presence of your love for me.
