Abstract

This article studies the issues of improving the mechanisms of state financial support for the introduction of water-saving technologies in the Republic of Karakalpakstan in the context of efficient use of water resources based on a comprehensive scientific approach. The economic, environmental and social significance of increasing the efficiency of water use in the agricultural sector in the context of climate change, water scarcity and land degradation is analyzed in depth. The study substantiates the possibilities of reducing water consumption, increasing productivity and reducing production costs as a result of the introduction of water-saving technologies, in particular drip and sprinkler irrigation systems. At the same time, the effectiveness of these technologies is compared with international experience based on data from the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Bank. The article assesses the current state of financial instruments used by the state - subsidies, soft loans, grants and state programs, and analyzes their economic efficiency and coverage. It was found that while existing support mechanisms are yielding positive results, their institutional effectiveness and practical coverage are insufficient. Also, as part of the study, priority areas for improving the financial support system were developed, among which optimization of the subsidy mechanism, expansion of long-term preferential lending, attraction of investments on the basis of public-private partnerships, and introduction of digital monitoring systems are of particular importance. The results of the study are of significant scientific and practical importance in the rational use of water resources, increasing the efficiency of the agricultural sector, and ensuring food security in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, and they can serve as a methodological basis for improving state agrarian and financial policies.
