Clean Water and Sanitation

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Overview

TUIT contributes to SDG 6 through water conservation programmes, smart water monitoring research, student innovation for water pollution prevention, and engineering projects for efficient water use. As a landlocked country, Uzbekistan faces significant water resource challenges — and TUIT positions its ICT expertise to develop digital solutions for sustainable water management.

Research & Innovation

TUIT’s Scopus portfolio includes 34 articles (1.5%) classified under SDG 6, covering water resource monitoring, smart irrigation, and environmental engineering (Source). Key innovation examples:

• Student Nuriddin Samatov presented a project at the ITU Generation Connect Youth Leaders Programme (Geneva, co-organised with Huawei) proposing an intelligent system for detecting and preventing water pollution in river basins and irrigation canals, including early-warning mechanisms for industrial chemical discharge. https://t.me/tuituz_official/20942
  
  
• Student Bahodir Qodirov developed the "Rain Box" project — a rainwater collection and efficient storage system — under the "From Idea to Invention" initiative
• Faculty research includes: ultrasound-based water level measurement, ground leaching water parameter measurement devices, autonomous wireless sound sensors for well liquid-level monitoring
• TUIT faculty conducted a practical energy experiment in Yuqori Chirchiq using irrigation canal flow, demonstrating 2 kWh/hour generation potential from water power. https://t.me/tuituz_official/21938

• The "CanSat Uzbekistan-2025" final competition (May 2025), co-organised with UzCosmos, included TUIT student teams building miniaturised satellites with environmental monitoring
