Abstract
The issue of updating information about the aridity index AI for various agro-climatic regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan is considered in the article. It has been found out that the irrigated lands are mainly concentrated in arid zones with an aridity (hydrothermal) index AI = 1.3...3.0 (for soils with different degrees of salinity and with different intensity of erosion processes). The humidity (water) deficit D is on average 199...800 mm. It is noted that the obtaining of guaranteed yields of agricultural crops is possible with reclamation measures only. The maps-schemes of agro-climatic regions and aridity index zoning of the Republic of Azerbaijan are presented in the article.
