ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT STATE OF WATER-SALT REGIME OF IRRIGATED LAND IN THE MIDDLE STREAM OF THE AMUDARYA RIVER (using the example of the Bukhara region)

The article examines the current state, the problem of the formation and preservation of saline soils on irrigated lands in the middle reaches of the Amudarya River basin (within the Bukhara region of the Republic of Uzbekistan). Based on the calculation of water-salt balances in the context of the region and characteristic areas, a quantitative assessment of the ratio of water intakes and drainage flow, the quality of irrigation water and salt removal was carried out, and cause-and-effect relationships between the ratio of the sizes of water intakes and drainage flow were identified.
