The Kyzyl Kum Desert in Uzbekistan has not been adequately studied, despite the fact that it occupies more than half (68.7%) of the country’s territory. Even in ancient times, the lands of Kyzyl Kum were used as pasture and now these lands are a classic example of distant pasture animal husbandry, including karakul breeding. The industry is developing with guaranteed sales markets, whose products are export items. In the desert, the main factor in the cultivation of crops is the lack of water resources, and the resources of the rivers of Uzbekistan are almost completely depleted. The aim of the study is to scientifically substantiate the possible volumes of surface runoff in the desert, which could be used in the interests of agricultural production, as well as for the creation of local systems of domestic drinking water supply.
