Development of irrigation based on various business payment systems

Abstract

As the result of the changes that took place in the Russian economy in the 90s, interfarm reclamation systems remained in state ownership, and reclamation lands and intra-farm irrigation systems were transferred to private ownership. For fixed assets managed by budget organizations that pump water for irrigation, depreciation deductions are not provided by the current legislation, and state subsidies cover only a small part of the necessary restoration work. The study uses international practices in the field of paid water use in irrigated agriculture, the regulatory and methodological framework adopted on the territory of the Russian Federation, data received from regional state organizations for land reclamation and agriculture, materials, data from Russian Federal State Statistics Service and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the work of Russian and foreign scientists and practitioners. The article explains the pricing of water supply for irrigation, creation of funds (financial resources) in the accounts of plumbing organizations to update their fixed assets, upgrading irrigation systems, having the physical deterioration of more than 70%.
