•Public Awareness
•Adaptation
10. Forecasting activity and broad information allow
designing and implementing adaptive complex.
All adaptation measures related to agriculture and
water should be divided on three levels:
• national measures, including strategy;
• regional measures (taking into account
transboundary waters);
• local level, especially farm level - adaptive response.

16. Traditional method of water saving in time of
drought is “alternative” irrigation - water is
applied not to each furrow, but to every
other one

18. Irrigation by water mixed with manure (local name “sharvat”).
Water to irrigated field flows through a big hole, in which
manure is put preliminary for proper mixing with water and
following delivery to furrow

reduce losses by
mulching of furrow or
installation of
polyethylene strip in

25. • Central Asian countries have to develop their own
National Policies to deal with climate change, where the
development of alternative environmentally friendly
energy sources and energy efficiency should become key
priorities. They should also take responsibility for
financing the implementation of these policies.
• Policies and activities for preventing climate change and
climate change adaptation should be integrated into the
socioeconomic development policies. The countries of
the region should improve intersectoral and
interdepartmental coordination.
26. • The transfer of new techniques and methods for climate
change adaptation and emissions reduction should be
combined with the transfer of relevant knowledge and skills
to local experts in order to develop and establish local
production, service industry, and to build capacity in whole.
• The process of development and implementation of policy in
the sphere of climate change should be open and
transparent. Governments and governmental bodies need
to hold broad consultations with communities and take into
account opinions of public organizations while making
decisions.
