This article develops multi-factor econometric models to assess the efficiency of water resource use in ensuring
regional economic stability. Based on regression analysis and panel data models, the relationship between water use
and economic growth is quantitatively examined. The Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model is applied to 60
quarterly observations (2010–2024) from the Amudarya Basin Water Management Authority, and the findings provide a
basis for practical recommendations on improving regional water policy.
