The problem of water supply of population and farms in Aghdam and Fuzuli regions

Abstract

In modern times, the provision of water resources is one of the main factors affecting the sustainable settlement of the population and its employment. In the context of global warming and climate changes, efficient use of limited water resources is very important. Providing water to the population is considered one of the important factors of improving the quality of life. This issue is of special importance for the liberated territories of Azerbaijan. In the long-term perspective, the level of provision of water resources in rural areas plays an exceptional role in ensuring the sustainability of settlement. The article is dedicated to the possibilities of using water sources and improving drinking water supply in Agdam and Fuzuli administrative regions, which are included in the Karabakh economic- geographical region. The possibilities of providing water sources to the population, especially rural communities, were analyzed and economically- geographically evaluated. The article examines the role that access to existing water sources can play in the employment of the population in those administrative regions. For each of Agdam and Fuzuli regions, the possibilities and prospects of providing the population with water resources were investigated separately. Proposals and recommendations for improving water supply have been made.
