FUNDAMENTALS OF TECHNOLOGY CONVERGENCE WHEN USING WATER RESOURCES IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION

Abstract

Improvement of convergence for technologies of water resource use in agricultural production was studied. At modern stage of development of water utilization system within agribusiness of basin geosystems in the North Caucasus and Southern Federal District where more than 23 mln people (16.3 % of resident number of the Russian Federation) live a rather ambitious task of creating principally new technologies of water resource use in different technological systems confronts. The results of many years studies of natural and technical systems (NTS) “Natural Environment – Object of Activity – Population” in the field of water resource use show that the main and practically the only direction for solving this problem is to improve use of water resource energy on the basis of modern scientific approaches-and to create new production technologies for agricultural products. One of such scientific approaches is convergent approach that integrates achievements in fundamental knowledge (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics etc.) and in sectoral scientific directions (material science, hydrology, hydraulics, informatics etc.). As conclusions, it should be noted that the convergent approach to creating new technologies and improving the existing technologies of water use in agribusiness makes it possible to form a stable tendency for wider use of renewable sources of electric power on small hydroelectric stations (HES) with the purpose to increase efficiency of water resource use. Besides, water regime in a root layer can be controlled and this promotes to manipulating with processes interrelation between consumption of necessary water quantity by plants and technology of water supply in active soil layer.
