Amelioration State of Soils at the Mouth of the Kur River

The analysis of the melioration state of soils at the mouth of the Kura River in the Salyan district was carried out in 2019-2024. The territory is mainly covered with gray-brown, gray, gray-meadow, meadow and meadow-marsh soils. In all areas of cotton and grain crop cultivation, the soils are saline and solonchakous to varying degrees, crusted, swamped, etc. Regardless of the depth of groundwater, there are various types of salinization depending on the agrochemical composition of the soils. In the territory through which the Kura River flows, there is an inappropriate use of its waters, discharge of industrial and domestic wastewater into the river. This is manifested to a greater extent at the mouth of the Kura River, causing floods that pose a threat to the population living here, and creating environmental problems in the marine area. A detailed study of environmental violations at the mouth of the Kura River is relevant. The existing hydrological condition has been analyzed, the causes of melioration problems have been determined, and recommendations have been proposed. The results obtained serve the development of sustainable agriculture and long-term conservation of soil resources in the region.
