The aim was to learn the demographic process, improve the economy and health of the population, make a big crop from plants, and use the soil and water resources in agriculture. The scientific research works of this project were planned for 10 years for 10 million euro. It was conducted by the co collaborations of Uzbekistan Republic Agriculture Ministry and the ministry of Higher and secondary-special education. The main financial resource of the project is Science and Education Federal Ministry of Germany; the extra financial funds are Science and Education Ministry of Nordrayx-Westfallen state and Academic personnel exchanging organizations of Germany.

Geographic information system center was organized as well and all necessary equipments were carried from Germany. 
Since 2006, under the leadership of Ruzimboy Eshchanov, there is an opportunity as a for the students who has bachelor degree in biology, agronomy, geography and economics to continue their Masters degree in Vaynshtein University in Germany. 
In order to do the research according to the requirements of time, optical fiber virtual laboratory “For the drying lakes of Africa, Middle East and Central Asia” was organized on UNESCO and other partners’ accounts. This laboratory is being used nowadays for accepting the information and passing it on, doing distance teaching and scientific research, making video conferences, including 3 international video conferences: Urgench- Bonn, Urgench- Olmaota, Urgench- Navoi. 
On June 7-8, 2005, International scientific practical conference named “Economical and Ecological Developing of the system using water resources in low Amu- darya region” was held with the co-operations of Urgench State University and ZEf UNESCO Project.
