Abstract

At this stage of agricultural development, Russia is in many ways inferior to other countries. This is manifested, first of all, with the underdevelopment of industry and shortcomings in the technologies for the development of agriculture. Considering one of the activities in agriculture, namely rice growing, it is worth noting that relatively recently, in the 80s of the last century, the Kuban, as one of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, achieved maximum success in the development of irrigation systems for rice cultivation. But at this time, there is enough area for rice cultivation to meet both internal and external needs, which is good news, but at the same time another problem arises related to the constant decrease in water resources. Accordingly, the timely elimination of problems in the irrigation system will lead to the improvement of the irrigation system. The challenge is to reduce unnecessary water loss during irrigation in rice cultivation. The economic support for the maintenance of irrigation system technology in Russia leaves much to be desired. Because of this, in numerous cases, individual parts of the irrigation system are subject to repair, but not the reconstruction of the main canals, or even the construction of new systems. The article deals with modern issues of monitoring the technical condition of the Kryukovskaya irrigation system of the Abinsk region using laser scanning methods. The results of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to improve the monitoring of the technical condition of the elements of irrigation systems are presented. Today, the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Kubanmeliovodkhoz Administration" does not have the technical capabilities and resources as in the 70-80s of the last century, but at the same time, responsibility has only increased over the years, both pumping stations, mechanical equipment, partitioning structures, as well as inter-farm and on-farm channels. Many elements need to be replaced, as they have exhausted their operational resource, designed for thirty years of operation. Irrational organization of water management leads to significant losses of water, energy and material and technical resources. The stages of using modern unmanned aerial vehicles for examining the elements of irrigation systems are considered.
