Summary

Studies are directed to assessment of saline drainage water use possibility and efficiency in its formation zones to reduce return flow disposal. Experiments are carried out on soil water-salt regimes management under saline water use for irrigation and leaching as well as water flow quality.Climate is continental. EPP net area - 94 ha. Irrigation network - concrete flumes. Drainage network - open horizontal. Specific length - 45 m/ha. Drains depth - 2.5-3.0 m, collectors - 4.0 m.During period of experiments keeping irrigation leaching regime annually and in a long-term period gradual soil desalinization has been achieved. Ground water salinity decreased from 15 to 5 g/l. Drainage water salinity decreased from 8-10 to 4.4.5 g/l. Under established irrigation regimes along with improvement of farming culture and lands reclamation state cotton crop yield capacity increased from 0.7-0.8 t/ha (1977) to 2.8-3.0 t/ha (1986).

Proposals are developed on scientific base on reclamation regimes' optimization and irrigated lands productivity increase under saline water use for irrigation.

Key words

Irrigation regime; water-salt balance; drainage flow; saline water
