Use of irrigated lands of the Republic of Crimea in the conditions of water resources deficit

The  need for irrigated agriculture in the Republic of Crimea  is due to the natural and  climatic conditions of the territory, which  are characterized by a moisture deficit  with  a high  level of heat  supply. The  purpose  of the research:  an analytical assessment of the current  state  of irrigated agriculture in  the  Republic of Crimea  and  the  success  of its  further development and  reproduction, taking into account  the natural resource potential of the territory and  the existing experience  of positive and  negative approaches to the  use  of irrigated lands. The  object of research  is the  crop production system  of the  agro-industrial complex,  the  subject  of research  is agricultural production on irrigated lands. The research material was the data of statistical reporting of agricultural and water management organizations of the  republic;  publications on the  results  of theoretical study and  practice  of the  use of reclaimed lands, which  are in the open press; as well as the author’s  own work.  The methodological basis  of the  research  was:  information-analytical, systematic and  comparative approaches;  analysis, generalization and synthesis of the obtained data; statistical, expert and heuristic evaluations. The analysis of the development and efficiency of agricultural production on the irrigated lands of the republic revealed significant shortcomings in their  use. Of the total  area of irrigated land, about  24 thousand hectares are irrigated, i.e. no more  than 5%, which  is associated both  with  limited water  resources  and  with depreciation of 80% of fixed  assets,  lack  of necessary  sprinkler equipment, understaffing of pumping stations, etc. It is shown that the natural resource potential of the territory is not fully realized. The average yield of cereals and leguminous crops under irrigation can exceed the actual one by 1.5-2 times. An increase in  the  area  of irrigated lands with  unsatisfactory indicators of alkalinization has  been  established. The  priority measures for rational water  use in the reclamation sector of the economy  of the Republic of Crimea  are presented, including a set of measures for the effective use of water resources of the territory, taking into  account  economic,  social  and  environmental components. Its  implementation is necessary regardless of the renewed supply of Dnieper water to the North Crimean Canal.
