Summary

Research is devoted to study of collector-drainage water chemical composition, formed in South-Golodnostepsky canal command area;   soil   solution  composition  changes   under   saline  water irrigation on the models in laboratory and field in order to use it in Dzhizak steppe; effectiveness of saline water usefor irrigation and soil leaching. Climate is continental. Soils-bright sierozems, meadow-sierozems, salts from non-saline to strongly saline. Ground water strongly saline. Total   area   is   10 th.ha   (field   tests)   and   irrigated   lands   of Golodnostepsky and Dzhizak regions. Accessible possibilities of saline water use for irrigation and leaching in Hunger and Dzhizak steppe. Pracrical recommendations are given.

Key words

Recommendations onsaline water use for irrigation and land reclamation in Hunger and Dzhizak steppe are given. Diagram of saline water accessibility for irrigation is presented and water salinity limits are set up for different types of soils.
