Abstract
The “Farkhod Hydroelectric Power Station” which was built in Syrdarya region has irrigated 700,000 hectares of fertile land in Dalvarzin and Mirzachul districts of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan. “Andijan water reservoir” was built in the Karadarya River of Fergana Valley, and a hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 140,000,000 kilowatt-hours was commissioned. Due to the commissioning of “Tuyamuyin” waterworks in the lower reaches of the Amudarya River, it was possible to irrigate 300,000 hectares of land in the Republic of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, as well as 200,000 hectares of new land for rice and cotton growing. In addition, this water facility has protected the land from erosion and provided with 150,000 kilowatts of electricity.
Highlights
Along with improving the fertility and quality of lands, great attention was paid to increasing the technical capacity of land reclamation
It is known that mechanization of land reclamation was organized in the mid-1950s, in 1955-1960 there were 26 machines and mechanisms in the industry, and in 1966-1970 consisted of 183 pieces, in 1971-1975 consisted of 311 pieces, in 1976-1980 consisted of 311 pieces and in 1985 consisted of 346 units
IRRIGATION Abnormal water use by farms increased by 15 percent, and its calculation was at its lowest level
Summary
Along with improving the fertility and quality of lands, great attention was paid to increasing the technical capacity of land reclamation. It is known that mechanization of land reclamation was organized in the mid-1950s, in 1955-1960 there were 26 machines and mechanisms in the industry, and in 1966-1970 consisted of 183 pieces, in 1971-1975 consisted of 311 pieces, in 1976-1980 consisted of 311 pieces and in 1985 consisted of 346 units. The efficiency of the annual work for water loss increased from 0.48% in 1965 to 0.62% in 1984.2 A reduction in the amount of water used to wash the soils was achieved. 16.4 cubic kilometers of water were used for the production of agricultural products worth UZS 1 billion in 1965, indicator showed 8.3 cubic kilometers in 1984.4. Water loss was 9,414 million cubic kilometer, of which 2,388.05 million cubic kilometer were not returned or reused at all.[2]
