Abstract

This article provides information on the state of irrigation and drainage systems, the main types of groundwater regime, changes in the dynamics of the groundwater level, as well as changes in their salinity in the Khorezm region. The data on the distribution of land by salinity, the change in the total length of drainage systems on irrigated lands of the Khorezm region of the Republic of Uzbekistan are given. Recommendations are given for improving the passage of drainage water from irrigated areas. A set of organizational, land reclamation, land reclamation, and operational measures aimed at improving the technical and land reclamation condition of irrigated lands by improving the performance of irrigation and land reclamation systems has been substantiated.
