HYDROTECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE TERRITORY OF UZBEKISTAN IN ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL CENTURIES

Abstract

The article discusses the traditions of building hydraulic structures in difficult terrain since ancient times. The unique characteristics of the landscape and socio-economic conditions in the territory of Uzbekistan have led to the development of hydrotechnical structures from the simplest local building materials - stone, wood, clay. In the past, it was possible to build large irrigation facilities, create dams, distribution irrigation facilities, etc., to transport water over difficult terrain. A large part of the experience of the past does not lose its importance even today, especially in the rural areas. Therefore, hydraulic engineering deserves the attention of modern researchers.
