Summary

Studies of water-salt balances' formation on rice fields and in the whole on large irrigated massive, determination of influence on irrigation water salinity degree increase water consumption, hydro-reclamation systems technical state, and land use level. Climate is continental. Soils - gray desert-meadow, loam, non-saline and slightly saline, sulfate type. Ground water table is 2.2-2.3 m (in spring), 0.8-2.2 m (in summer) and 2.4-2.8 m (in autumn), salinity degree is 1.2-3.8 g/1 and more, sulfate-chloride type. Irrigated area is 45 th.ha (net). Cropping pattern: rice, alfalfa, cereals, and vegetable-forage. Water supply - by Karakum main canal and its distributors. On-farm irrigation network in earthen channel, efficiency 0.6-0.65. Specific length of collectors is 27.5 m/ha. 208 vertical drainage wells were constructed on depth 37-55 m with gravel-sandy screens. According to results of these studies main ways of reducing spe­cific water consumption on rice irrigation systems and rice crop yield capacity increase were defined; complex reconstruction as well as reclamation system reconstruction was recommended to fulfill, it was also advised to increase land use efficiency - by means of elimination of reedy vegetation, and to apply more per­fect design of regulating structures and release network.

Title - "Study of water-salt regime of rice system soils and defini­tion of rice irrigation norm (on example of "Komsomolsky" state farm)" SANIIRI Collection of papers, Tashkent, 1991. Quantitative regularities of common water-salt balance formation and rice irrigation norm water balance formation in present condi­tions were established. Reasons of actual irrigation norms devia­tion from design norms were defined. Calculation methodic of rice • required irrigation norm was developed, it takes into account main impact factors.
