Summary

Studies are dedicated to development of measures set on reducing water consumption and water disposal norms by using effectively surface and ground water for irrigation, optimizing vertical drain­age operation regime, increasing ground water share in sub-irrigation, reducing water discharge for physical evaporation. Climate is continental. Relief is slightly undulated. Soils - heavy and semi-loam, 65-70% of area - non-saline, 20-25% - spot salinity, 5-10% - medium and weakly saline, chloride-sulfate type. Ground water is saline (1-3 g/1), hydro-carbonate-calcium and hydro-carbonate-sulfate type, more seldom calcium-magnum-sodium. EPP area is 8.5 ha, land use efficiency 0.7. Water supply - from distribution canals. One third of irrigation network has anti-filtration cover, efficiency 0.75. Vertical drainage wells- 60. Main result of studies - reclamation situation improvement, sustainable high yields of basic for this zone crops (cotton, cereals, alfalfa for hay), under water diversion reduction, water consump­tion annual norm reduction at the expense of synchronizing verti­cal drainage operation regime with water supply and irrigation re­gime.

It is established that norms of water disposal and consumption providing favorable rec­lamation situation on irrigated lands depend on ground water re­gime, soil and irrigation water salinity degree.
