General theoretical provisions for ensuring the environmental sustainability of agricultural landscapes when involved previously irrigated lands into circulation

Abstract

Purpose: to develop a concept for generating an algorithm for ensuring environmental safety based on a cybernetic approach when involving previously irrigated lands in circulation. Materials and methods. The research methodology is based on general scientific cognition methods – analysis, synthesis, abstraction, modeling. The working hypothesis was the assumption of the effectiveness of managing the environmental sustainability of irrigated lands, including newly involved ones, by creating an abstract cybernetic model. Results. The re-introduction previously irrigated lands that have undergone anthropogenic environmental “pressure” into circulation, requires a careful assessment of the resource potential, the technologies used, the competencies of operating personnel and many other dynamic indicators that can negatively affect the ecological capacity of the irrigated landscape. With a large number of interdependent connections of various physical nature inherent in the reclaimed territory, the optimal method for constructing an algorithm for developing control environmental decisions is cybernetic modeling, the methods of which (synthesis, abstraction) make it possible to create the irrigated land quality control system. Conclusions. The complexity of the hydro-reclamation impact on the agricultural landscape elements and its reaction to it can be represented abstractly, through the creation of an expanded cybernetic environmental-reclamation unit, taking into account the regulated resources that can be used, unregulated environmental conditions, the quality of the environment obtained after the reclamation impact, regulated through restrictive forced connections, using the developed path (algorithm). With a high degree of abstraction, it allows creating an algorithm for the formation of control actions with their adaptation to the specific conditions of the irrigated agricultural landscape.
