Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of typical errors that occur during the use of water measuring instruments, their causes, and scientific as well as practical methods for eliminating them. The study is conducted based on water supply systems used in Uzbekistan, highlighting real operational problems, their technical and organizational causes, as well as modern solutions. The results of the study contribute to improving the efficiency of water resource utilization, enhancing measurement accuracy, and ensuring system reliability.
