                  | Summary  | Research  
                    is devoted to  soil  reclamation regime management through 
                    ground water pumping in combination with leaching irrigation 
                    regime. Relief is hilly; climate-continental. Soils: sandy 
                    loam, light and medium loam, saline , salinity type is sulfate 
                    and chloride-sulfate. Total irrigated area is 174h.ha, vertical 
                    drainage area-15.7th.ha (command area of Kirov canal). Open drainage specific length is 8-15 m/ha. There are 1794 
                    vertical wells with depth of 15-50m. Plot is equipped by 
                    means of water and salt account. In   result   of research   
                    set   of  measures   on   irrigation   water productivity   
                    and   agricultural    lands   increase   is   developed. 
                    Recommended trend of reclamation processes facilitated cotton 
                    yield increase up to 2.8-3.2 t/ha against 1.5-2.0 t/ha initial 
                    yield. Along with land productivity increase specific water 
                    expense per unit production has been reduced (1800-2000cu.m/t 
                    against 4000-5000cu.m/t).  |

                    Moscow, 1978 Principles of irrigated lands zoning and main requirements 
                    to initial data are developed. System analysis of field 
                    research of soil desalinization and water use improvement 
                    under leaching and leaching regime of irrigation is done. 
                    Main principles of of vertical drainage operation using 
                    ground water for irrigation providing optimal reclamation 
                    regime are found.  |  |  |  |
