ABSTRACT
The main objective of this study is to determine the optimal spacing of sprinkler irrigation systems in arid and water-scarce regions of Uzbekistan. The study used a combination of isodensity contour mapping, Voronoi-like connection, and hotspot overlap analysis methods. Sprinklers with 8 m, 10 m, and 12 m spacing were modeled in zigzag and linear patterns. The results showed that the 10-meter zigzag pattern was the most effective model, ensuring consistent water distribution. The model developed at the end of the study can serve to increase irrigation efficiency and ensure rational use of water resources.
