Summary

Study is directed to soil salination prevention based on soil profile desalination, leaching and vertical drainage role definition. Climate is continental, sub-tropical. Relief- cup-shaped.  Soils-sierozems, partially saline, (3g/l on average), chloride-sulfate and sulfate-chloride type. Ground water depth is 0.5-3.0 m, salinity 50g/l, chloride-sulfate. The following conclusion is made: -for salts and strongly saline soils desalination saline ground water (4-6 g/l) can be used; -leaching over 20ha and more on background of vertical drainage does not negatively affects ecologically beyond irrigated field; -slowed with  interruptions of 10-20 days water supply with vertical drainage stoppage at the same time, leaching accoding to desalination effect; -more check ridges size, more soil mass remains unleached that creates secondary salination.
