During the investigation, scientists analyzed groundwater and subsurface water levels up to a depth of 600 meters, collecting valuable data on the interaction between soil and water systems. This information will help to assess the environmental and agricultural implications of groundwater on soil quality, particularly in hydromorphic zones where water saturation affects soil fertility and crop growth.

The project was carried out under the framework of an innovative research initiative funded by the Agency for Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This initiative supports scientific efforts aimed at sustainable land and water resource management, helping to develop practical solutions for improving soil health and mitigating the effects of environmental changes in water-influenced regions.

The research team emphasized that the results will contribute to future strategies for efficient irrigation management, soil restoration, and sustainable agriculture in areas surrounding large water bodies such as the Kattakurgan Reservoir.
