IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE WATERS OF A NEW IRRIGATION ZONE IN THE HUNGRY STEPPE AND POSSIBILITIES OF THEIR USE.

To characterize the irrigation and drainage waters of the new irrigation zone in the Hungry Steppe in Central Asia and to solve the problem of the possibility of their use for flushing saline soils, their mineralization and chemical composition were observed monthly for three years. Drainage waters were studied in territories of individual soil-geomorphological regions. Samples were taken from the main collector drains, the waters of which should be used for flushing and irrigation.
