Summary

Studies are dedicated to irrigated lands salinity control on base of drainability, leaching and irrigation leaching regime, soil water-salt regime management, irrigated lands water availability in­crease, ecological situation improvement on adjacent areas at the expense of drainage water re-use for leaching and irrigation. Climate is continental. Relief is slightly undulated. Soils - loess-like loam, saline, chloride-sulfate type. Ground water table is 1-2 m (in spring), 2.2-3.2 g/1 (in autumn), salinity degree is 1-2 g/1, chloride-sulfate type. EPP area is 500 ha. Water supply from ditch and vertical drainage wells. 5 vertical drainage wells on depth 25-30 m with gravel-pebble screens were constructed. According to results of studies set of reclamation measures on soil desalinization rate acceleration and their productivity increase, ir­rigated lands water availability improvement, water consumption norms reduction as well as agriculture profitability.

Key words

Water-salt regime; water consumption; desalinization; leaching; ground water; productivity; cotton
