History

       The hydromelioration faculty was established in 1923 as part of the technical faculty of the Turkestan State University in order to train personnel in the field of "Melioration engineering". In the early days of the establishment of the faculty, 49 professors taught 274 students from reclamation engineering. The history of the Faculty of Hydromelioration is closely related to the history of the university, and on November 16, 1934, it began to operate as part of the "Tashkent institute of irrigation and agricultural mechanization engineers". The contribution of mature scientists in the establishment and development of the faculty, as well as its formation as a prestigious scientific center on the scale of Central Asia, is incomparable. Especially contribution of V.D.Jurin, T.N.Kori-Niyozov, A.N.Gostunsky, B.D.Korjavin, K.A.Akhmedov, A.N.Askochenskiy, V.V.Poslavskiy, N.A.Yanishevskiy, V. F. Bulaevskiy, F. P. Morgunenkov, Ye.I.Zamarin, N.V.Makridin, S.T.Altunin, T.A.Kolpakova helped to the faculty to be a leader in the fields of science and education. Today, the faculty includes "Hydraulics and hydroinformatics", "Hydrology and hydrogeology", "Irrigation and land reclamation", "Use of hydromelioration systems", "Mechanization of hydromelioration works", "Professional education", "Life safety", "Physics and Chemistry" departments and "Ekogis" center have been established. In the faculty, the experienced professors and teachers of departments and centers organize scientific research and educational programs at the level of modern requirements for students and masters.

      In recent years, the faculty includes "Water management and reclamation", "Innovative technologies in water management and their use", "Hydrology", "Remedial hydrogeology", "Professional education", "Mechanization of water management and reclamation works", when specialists are being trained for economic sectors in the fields of "Labor protection and technical safety", “Materials science and new materials technology” education programs, from the 2023-2024 academic year, accordance with the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan numbered PQ-42 and dated December 10 "Aerospace technologies and sustainable development" training was launched. Today, more than 1,200 students are studying in modern conditions in these educational areas. In addition, the faculty has established an effective communication system in the areas of comprehensive scientific, methodical and academic mobility with prestigious scientific research institutes and universities of the USA, European countries, CIS and Eastern countries in terms of international cooperation.
