The Uzbek envoy said that any decrease of Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya flow is fundamental violation of ecologic balance in all Aral Sea Basin.

He said: “In these conditions, we believe it is dangerous any attempts on implementation of projects on construction of wide-scale hydraulic works with giant dams, which were developed during Soviet era. This can cause irreparable damage to environment and dangerous man-caused disasters, which we witnessed in recent years.”

Uzbekistani envoy proposed to construct less dangerous, but more efficient small hydro power stations at these rivers to receive similar power capacities, the UN Radio reported.
