The Largest rivers of Tajikistan - Vakhsh, Pyanj, Zeravshan, Syr-Darya, Kafirnigan. They play an important role in the water supply of the Republic. Also, they often engaged in fishing by the local population.
Tajikistan is rich in lakes. In large quantities they are found in the mountains. The reservoirs are formed as a result of landslides. The largest lakes-Sarez and Yashilkul. These beautiful waters is famous for its favorite tourist region-Fann mountains (Gissar range). The largest of them, lake Iskanderkul, is protected as a nature reserve. In addition, the Syr Darya and WASHE created artificial reservoirs: Kairakkum, Farkhad and the Head of the lake.
A Variety of vegetation concentrated along river valleys and lakeshores. Mostly herbs and shrubs and trees often grow singly, not forming a continuous forest. Only 4% of Tajikistan's territory is covered by forest.
Tajikistan at the moment settled unevenly. Total population is about 8.6 million people. Rural areas are more populated than the city. And there are still villages where there is no Central electricity, and there are more problems with the water.
The multinational State. Tajiks – the indigenous population. Tajikistan became home to such nationalities as the Pamiri people and yagnobtsy. All their strength is around 85 % (with the Tajiks). Following the number of people considered to be Uzbeks (14 %). Other Nations much less. Russian in Tajikistan there are only about 1 %.
The Population is distributed very unevenly. For example, Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous oblast occupies 45% of the territory, and lives in it for less than 3 % of the total population of the Republic.
The Republic of Tajikistan on economic performance refers to poor States, although the country's potential is huge. The mountains contain many rich deposits of various minerals. Their intelligence has been actively pursued in Soviet times, from 1971 to 1990. The problem is that the highlands complex, organization of production requires a significant investment and good roads.
Road – a big problem in Tajikistan. The main Republican road Dushanbe-Chanak highway, until recently, passed through two pass – the Anzob and Shahristan. Now there punched tunnels, and with the help of the Chinese made an excellent Speedway. Passes that are closed in winter, are no longer an obstacle for communication. Disadvantage of this road is that it is paid, and there is no alternative option. That is why the population is experiencing many difficulties during the movement.
Other roads in Tajikistan are in poor condition. This is an important indicator of economic development of the country and, of course, the standard of living of the local population. Many of these roads have not been repaired since the Soviet times, they are just pathetic pieces of memories about the asphalt.
The Working-age population instead of labor at home, went to work, primarily to Russia. Earned funds is not spent on investment, and daily needs.
7% flat land not occupied by mountains, the locals grow cotton, tobacco, grains, vegetables and fruits. The share of livestock is small.
The Mountainous areas of Tajikistan attract many tourists from all over the world. The highest Pamir peaks, particularly the peak of Ismoil Somoni (peak Communism), beautiful, warm and easily accessible Fann mountains, cliffs and valleysMatches are very much appreciated by tourists abroad. At the moment in many villages there are guest houses in which tourists can even take a hot shower, that in this area a rarity. The locals are very welcoming and helpful, most very warmly remembers the delights of life in the Soviet Union.
Tajikistan is a very promising country, it's a pity that her wealth remain largely potential, which significantly affects the standard of living of the local population.
