Use of Electrical Conductivity Instead of Soluble Salts for Soil Salinity Monitoring in Central Asia
TL;DR: In this article, a 1:1 soil-water suspension was found to give the best fit to the soil extract with leaching of calcium and sulfate ions, and the cost of data collection was significantly lower than that of the 1:5 extract.

Effects of the shallow water table on water use of winter wheat and ecosystem health: implications for unlocking the potential of groundwater in the Fergana Valley (Central Asia).
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the effect of the shallow water table on water use of the winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that has replaced alfalfa (Medicago sativa) on the irrigated lands of the Fergana Valley, upstream of the Syrdarya River, in Central Asia.

The Effect of Various Soil Hydraulic Property Estimates on Soil Moisture Simulations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used waveguides and tensiometers to obtain in situ measurements of soil moisture in unsaturated soils and applied three scaling methods to improve the performance of these measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of hydrological research findings from field to regional level in the irrigated croplands of Khorezm, Uzbekistan, revealed that water availability at farm and field level fails to meet agricultural requirements in parts of the region, although water withdrawal from the Amudarya river is huge.
