More about Tajikistan
Tajikistan is bordered by Uzbekistan to the west and northwest , Kyrgyzstan to the north, China to the east and Afghanistan to the south ; the eastern half of the country forms the Autonomous Republic of Bergbadakhshan.
Tajikistan is an earthquake-prone high mountain country (over 50% of the country is above 3,000 m above sea level, more than 90% above 1 000 m above sea level). The main settlement areas are the mountain foothills, plains and basins. The entire east of the country lies in the Pamir , which is heavily glaciated in the western part (including Fedtschenkogletscher), as well as in the adjacent Alai mountains to the west ; in the Pamir rises the highest mountain in the country, the peakIsmoil Somoni (formerly peak communism, 7 495 m above sea level).
Western Tajikistan is traversed by the high mountain ranges of the Turkestan chain (up to 5,621 m above sea level), Seravschankette (up to 5,489 m above sea level; between the two the Seravshan valley), to the south (separated in the east by the valley of Jagnob) the Hissar mountains (up to 4,643 m above sea level). These mountains, also known as Kuchistan, also have alpine mountain forms. Its southern roof is a diverse mountainous area (600–2,000 m above sea level), which is cut by the waters flowing to the Amu Darya and its upper reaches Pyanj (border rivers to Afghanistan). The Hissar valley with Dushanbe located here forms one of the two main settlement areas; the other is the valley of the Syrdarja at the exit of theFergana Basin with the reservoir Kajrakkum. This area around the city of Khujand is located in the narrow, north-widening strip north of the Turkestan chain, which forms the northern part of Tajikistan bordered by Uzbekistan and in the south-east of Kyrgyzstan. To the north, this area extends to the Kuraming Mountains (3,769 m above sea level), which belong to the Tian Shan. Only 3% of the country’s area is covered with tree or shrub vegetation, otherwise steppes, deserts or high mountain meadows characterize the landscape.
Energy industry
The energy generation is based primarily on the extensive use of water power from the mountain rivers; There are hydropower plants among others. on the Wachsch, where the Nurek Dam (with a height of 300 m currently the highest dam in the world) provides around three quarters of the electricity generation (2,700 MW), as well as on Syrdarja (Kajrakkum), Warsob and Murga. The continuous supply of electricity is not guaranteed; Especially in winter there are more frequent interruptions in delivery due to low water levels in the reservoirs.
Industry
Industry (including mining and construction) contributes 21.7% to GDP (2013). The most important branch of industry is the light industry, about two thirds of the industrial production is accounted for by the processing of cotton, silk and wool as well as by the food industry. Major industrial centers are Khujand and Dushanbe with mechanical engineering and manufacturing industries. Further industrial locations are in Istaravshan (food and building materials industry) and Jawan (electrochemical and aluminum industry). The aluminum smelter in Tursunsade (Regar), formerly one of the largest in the Soviet Union, is currently only partially used. The raw materials have to be imported. A large number of companies work with outdated technologies and low productivity due to a lack of modernization investments.
Climate
Tajikistan lies in the arid subtropics; it has a sunny continental climate with great seasonal and time-of-day differences, which also changes greatly with altitude. The mean January temperature in the lowlands and foothills of the southwest is between +2 and −2 ° C, in the Pamir at −20 ° C and below, that of July at 30 ° C and 0 ° C, respectively. The southern slopes of the Hissar Mountains (1,600 mm annually) receive the greatest amounts of precipitation (main precipitation period March – April), lower-lying areas, mountain basins and valleys (around 200 mm annually, in foothills up to 600 mm). The lowest rainfall (July / August) is recorded in the eastern Pamir (around 80 mm annually).
