Research Institute of Hydrometeorology

About Research Institute

The development of scientific and production activities in the field of hydrometeorology in Uzbekistan began in the 1870s. In 1867, the first regular meteorological observations were conducted in Tashkent, marking the beginning of systematic studies on the natural environment of the Turkestan region. On May 7, 1921, the Turkestan Meteorological Institute was established based on the physical division (magnetism and meteorology departments) of the Tashkent Observatory and the meteorology department of the hydrometric structure of the Turkestan region. Later, on November 10, 1957, by order of the Hydrometeorological Service Main Directorate under the Council of Ministers of the former Soviet Union, the Central Asian Scientific Research Hydrometeorology Institute was re-established on the basis of the Tashkent Scientific-Geophysical Observatory (TNIGO). More recently, according to Presidential Order No. PQ–171, issued on May 31, 2023, titled "Measures for the Effective Organization of the Activities of the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change," along with the decision of the same date regarding "Measures for Organizing the Activities of the Central Asia Environmental and Climate Change Research University (Green University)" (hereinafter referred to as the University), the status, key objectives, functions, and organizational structure of the Hydrometeorology Scientific Research Institute have been formally defined.

"Darxan" Scientific Experimental Farm

About Darxan

The history of the "Darxon Scientific-Experimental Farm" dates back to the 1930s, initially established as the "Central Asian Research Institute of Forestry" (СрерАзНИИЛХ). It became a major scientific center in the region, focused on forestry and desert reclamation research in Central Asia. The institute specialized in forest creation in various geographical zones, stabilizing sand dunes, and land reclamation in desert areas. In the years following independence, the institute’s structure was revised, and some of its departments were merged with other scientific institutions. The scientific experience accumulated by "СрерАзНИИЛХ," particularly its research on creating forest plantations in desert and semi-desert areas, still serves as a key scientific foundation for the development of forestry in Central Asia today. In 2005, the State Forestry Committee reorganized it as the "Darxon Scientific-Experimental Farm," focusing on research in forest resource management and ensuring ecological sustainability.
