TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, July 13. The Tashkent Province Water Supply Development Project, backed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is hitting the ground running with the imminent construction of a second reserve trunk main in the Kibray district, Trend reports.
This critical 7.6-kilometer conduit will facilitate the
interconnection between the Kadirya Selskaya Water Treatment
Facility and Water Distribution Centre-2 (WDC-2), thereby
augmenting the robustness and dependability of the regional hydric
supply infrastructure.
The initiative aligns with Uzbekistan’s strategic objectives to
enhance the accessibility of potable water resources in both rural
and urban environments, thereby mitigating service disruptions that
adversely affect community well-being.
In June 2025, the project’s Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan
(LARP) received formal endorsement and was disseminated to
stakeholders. The strategy delineated that solely provisional land
appropriation would be requisite, with no enduring displacement or
detriment to livelihoods anticipated. The conduit trajectory
intersects agrarian territories within the localities of Madaniyat,
Shalola, and Chinobod, under the stewardship of individual
cultivators and dehkan households.
As of July 2025, a comprehensive disbursement of 590 million soums
(equivalent to $45,764) was executed, benefiting 15 qualifying land
users. Compensation encompassed transient land utilization,
agricultural yield deficits, and the eradication of perennial
flora, computed in alignment with comprehensive replacement cost
methodologies and statutory frameworks, with proactive engagement
involving municipal entities and impacted stakeholders.
No complaints have been documented, and all stakeholders were
consistently apprised during the entire procedure. They sustain
equilibrium in socio-economic paradigms and are projected to
achieve comprehensive restoration of their livelihoods. Although
the construction phase remains pending, the Project Coordination
Unit (PCU) will meticulously oversee the land reclamation
initiatives post-completion.
This initiative epitomizes Uzbekistan’s dedication to sustainable
infrastructure paradigms and social equity frameworks, guaranteeing
community advantages while mitigating negative externalities.
