Figure 2. Nature of Oltinsoy, Khatirchi district
Animal husbandry and viticulture are developed on the sloping plains at the foot of the mountains. Such conditions are a very favourable area for cattle breeders and farmers in the area. Among the wild plants, reed, sedge, wheat, sedge, elderberry, yulgin and others are widely distributed on the river terraces and banks. In the foothills of Nurota mountain, saffron, yaltyrbosh, chalov, carrack, deer grass, white safrak, gulkhairi, betaga, and ephemerals grow in the spring.
As part of the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers in 2018 aimed at the comprehensive development of the Khatirchi district, projects were implemented in 17 industries, 12 agriculture and 25 service sectors. These projects improved the standard of living of the population, increased wages, and employed women, young people, and needy families.
The nature of the area is very favourable for the residents of villages such as Angidon, Oltinsoy, and Maidonsoy of Khatirchi district. You can see the life of such villages, an abundance of streams in the mountains and hills, and various phenomena in nature. One such neighbourhood is Oltinsoy, the geographical features of this area are famous throughout Uzbekistan. Miraculous mineral water flows from the Oltinsoy region from 160 m above the ground, a hot spring of 76 degrees in 4 seasons of the year. This water is very beneficial and healing for the human body. Taking advantage of this opportunity, local entrepreneurs focused on establishing a health centre in the village. For this purpose, the private enterprise "Oltinsoy Mineral Water" established its activities in 2009, and it is possible to treat about 10 diseases here. It has the characteristic of treating an average of 300-400 people a year in different regions of our republic. "Oltinsoy" sanatorium adjacent to this enterprise is designed for 80 people. The sanatorium covers an area of 7 hectares. It is equipped with modern diagnostic and medical equipment for the treatment of the circulatory system, neurology, endocrine system, gynaecology, and skin diseases. In this sanatorium, thousands of people enjoy the clean air and mineral waters of Altynsoy every year, and the natural scenery and mineral waters play an important role in restoring the health of the population.
This hot water contains minerals and its constant temperature has a scientific basis. The meeting of this hot spring in the village of Altinsoy in Khatirchi district proves the uniqueness of the location and topography of this area.
Oltinsoy region is a very favourable region both ecologically and in terms of terrain. The inhabitants of Oltinsoy are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, in addition to this, crops such as wheat and barley are cultivated in the arid lands consisting of hills. Livestock farming is the main income of the inhabitants of that area. Due to the nature of the area, the taste of watermelons planted in dry areas is especially delicious. Also, chemical fertilizers are not used at all in the cultivation and maintenance of these crops. Because the nature of the region has the full potential to produce these products of high quality and taste. There is an opportunity to develop all branches of agriculture in Khatirchi district.
