This article explores the natural-geographical features of the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River, focusing on the historical development of its ancient channels and irrigation systems. Based on geological and archaeological research, the study reviews expeditions from the 17th century, research conducted during the Khiva Khanate and the Russian Empire, and extensive Soviet-era investigations. Special attention is given to the works of S. P. Tolstov and A. S. Kes, analyzing the transformation of riverbeds and the evolution of agriculture based on artificial irrigation. In the 17th century, A. Jenkinson, N. Whitson, in the 18th century, Dalilia, I. Muravins provided important information about the Amu Darya and the Aral Sea. In addition, the creation of maps of the confluence of rivers into the Caspian Sea, the images of the confluence of the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya into the Aral Sea were studied as a result of large-scale research starting from the 19th century. Geographical expeditions were organized, and the results of the research led to a large-scale study of the geology, orography, soil, hydrography, climate, and water management of Khorezm. The work carried out is an important source for studying the ecology of not only Khorezm, but also Central Asia, ancient irrigation systems, and anthropogenic activity.
