Water-saving irrigation technology in the foothill areas in the south of the Republic of Uzbekistan

Abstract

The article presents the results of research that are devoted to water-saving irrigation technology on steep slopes and clarified the elements of irrigation techniques at contour irrigation and discrete irrigation in the south of Uzbekistan. The technology of muddy water irrigation for drip irrigation of gardens has been developed. The implementation of drip irrigation technology in intensive gardens has resulted in a 20-60% reduction in water consumption on arable land, up to 50% on mineral fertilizers and up to 30% on fuel and lubricants. Also, the level of ground water does not rise due to the irrigation water requirements of the plant and excessive water supply, low water evaporation from the soil, as well as uniform moisture throughout the field.
