Kempir-Abad reservoir, Water reservoir at Ferghana Valley, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
The Kempir-Abad reservoir spans 56 square kilometers across the border region, storing 1.9 cubic kilometers of water from the Kara Darya River.
The reservoir, commissioned in 1965, submerged over 5,000 hectares of fertile land in the Uzgen district and became a point of dispute after USSR dissolution.
The name originates from a mineral found in the region, while Uzbeks refer to it as the Andijan reservoir, reflecting the dual identity of this water body.
The reservoir supplies water to three major canals, with Uzbekistan receiving 86 percent of the resources for agriculture and public consumption in Fergana Valley.
The 2022 border agreement transferred control of the reservoir to Uzbekistan in exchange for agricultural land, triggering nationwide protests in Kyrgyzstan.
