As the geopolitical context changes, the development of a certain region is based on a reform of its regulatory approaches. The field of water relations is no exception, as their effective existence requires constant analysis and innovation, including legislation. Thus, in the context of acute geopolitical and natural changes, this issue is of particular relevance both in theory and in practice. The purpose of this research paper is to assess current approaches and instruments for regulating water relations in Central Asia. The methods of analysis, comparison, deduction, generalization, and the formal-legal method were used in the study. As a result, it has been possible to uncover the content and significance of water relations, describe their object and classify them. The structure of water legislation in Central Asian countries was also investigated. This revealed the main ideas and vectors of national public policy on water protection and international cooperation to address such crisis issues. The system of laws and regulations that form the basis of the legal regulation of water relations in Central Asia has been studied. Their relevance, according to current societal conditions, is assessed. Based on the analysis conducted, own recommendations for improving the field of water regulation, namely its use, protection, and restoration, have been formed. The practical value of the work lies in the fact that the findings can be used by other researchers or legislators to improve the norms of national legislation governing water relations.
