ESTABLISHING THE POSSIBILITY OF USING REANALYSIS CLIMATE DATA TO SUBSTANTIATE THE RECLAMATION REGIME OF IRRIGATED LANDS OF THE REPUBLIC OF BURUNDI

moisture supply, the country's well-being and food independence depend on the development of irrigated agriculture. The goal of irrigated agriculture in Burundi is not only to ensure high produc-tivity of agricultural plants, but also to promote the reproduction of soil fertility, the economical use of resources, and the environmental safety of agriculture. Achieving the set goals is possible by ob-serving a specific reclamation regime. This regime consists of a set of requirements for controlled factors that ensure harmonious coexistence and functioning of the landscape space and agro-cenoses in the Republic of Burundi. The purpose of this research is to determine whether climate analysis data can be used to support the reclamation regime of irrigated lands in the Republic of Burundi. This will be achieved by comparing the climate analysis data with data obtained from direct obser-vations at meteorological stations located within the Republic of Burundi, and assessing the reliabil-ity of the results
