The usage of ditch water for irrigation

Abstract

The paper gives recommendations on the use of mineralized collector water as an additional water resource reserve. The introduction of elements of irrigation techniques are developed taking into account the mechanical composition of the soil, the regime of seepage water and the slope of the field. The results of the research made it possible to save up to 15% of irrigation water. In the period of water shortage, the technology of using mineralized collector water with ditch water was used on cotton fields. As a result of using collector water as an additional source of water in farm fields it was possible to save river water by 50%.
