Against the background of recent global environmental changes on our planet, serious and dangerous problems are expanding. One of them is the problem of water scarcity. Water scarcity is severe mainly in the southern regions of Uzbekistan. Even in areas where water is not so scarce, the amount of water is decreasing because of pollution and salinity. This study examines the geographical and environmental aspects of water scarcity in Uzbekistan based on a Case Study. A small remote district of Uzbekistan called Oltinsoy was chosen for the study. The case study mainly focuses on the water problem in agriculture. Thus, the water problem in this area currently exists as an environmental problem, which seeks the main attention and quick solutions. The purpose of this study is to promote the fight against water scarcity in the region and to emphasize support for the concrete and effective implementation of projects to ensure sustainability at the local level. During the study, water scarcity is becoming more serious, and the results showed that a capable solution should be found as soon as possible. In the region, it was found necessary to implement many measures, such as the protection of water sources, the control of polluting wastes, and the implementation of effective management of water resources. However, there is a strong data limitation. In conclusion of the study, the following is considered very essential that bringing water collection systems into the area.
