ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNICAL CONDITION OF COLLECTORS AND DETERMINING THE SUITABILITY OF COLLECTOR WATERS FOR REUSE

The article's main objective is to assess the geotechnical and technical condition of the drainage and collector system constructed to improve the melioration condition of agricultural lands and maintain their suitability for use, as well as to determine the suitability for reuse of water collected in the collector.One of the most important tasks of the present time and for the future in terms of the planet's need for water is to overcome the shortage of water caused by unpredictable and unexpected climate changes, including global warming, drought and other negative natural phenomena.For this reason, by the principle of "every drop of water is valuable", conducting appropriate monitoring and assessment of the engineering-geological and technical condition of collectors for efficient use of water collected from drainage networks and discharged into the Caspian Sea by these collectors, the level of which is decreasing from year to year and complete prevention or minimization of losses during transportation of these waters is an important necessity.The inclusion of such measures as "purification and reuse of collector-drainage and wastewater" and "reconstruction of irrigation canals and collectors" in the Action Plan for the implementation of the "National Strategy for the Efficient Use of Water Resources" in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2024-2027 further increases the relevance of the scientific, technical and practical research reflected in the article.
