Water is one of the most vital resources in Central Asia, yet its availability and distribution are shaped by complex geographic, climatic, and political factors. In this episode, we explore the region’s main water sources—rivers, glaciers, and aquifers—and examine how these are distributed across countries. We also discuss how Central Asian countries use water across key sectors such as agriculture, energy, industry, and drinking water, highlighting the challenges each sector faces. From the impacts of water scarcity on rural economies to the technologies being adopted to improve water efficiency and reduce waste, we unpack the critical issues affecting the region’s water management. Join us as we explore these pressing questions and the path toward a more sustainable water future in Central Asia with prominent expert Dr. Iskandar Abdullaev, Country representative at International Water Management Institute.
