History of Cotton Growing and Artificial Irrigation in the Fergana Valley

The importance of water in the cultivation of cotton and other agricultural products is incomparable. Therefore, special attention is paid to artificial irrigation in the Turkestan region, which has become a national affair. The rules for the use of water are reflected in the laws of Sharia as follows: The waters of rivers and lakes are considered a blessing and blessing given to people by Allah Almighty, and everyone has the right to use them equally. With the exception of ponds and wells built by private individuals, people are allowed to drink the water from them, water their livestock, and use it for their daily needs.
