Water Supply
Legal advice on water supply for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Overview
Water Supply advice for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Water is a limited resource in Uzbekistan, and rights to it are allocated and supervised by the state. For any enterprise whose operations depend on water — in agriculture, industry or utilities — the terms on which water is obtained are a commercial matter as much as a regulatory one.
Digests Global Law Firm advises on water use and water supply under the Law on Water and Water Use and the regulations made under it.
Our practice in this area covers:
- Water use permits, allocation limits, and the conditions attached to them
- Water supply and wastewater agreements, and tariff questions
- Regulatory requirements applicable to irrigation and water management infrastructure
- Water supply and treatment projects, including those structured as public-private partnerships
- Obligations of water users, and administrative liability for breach of them
- Disputes with supply organisations and with the supervisory authorities
We act for industrial and agricultural enterprises, utilities, and state organisations.
