Implementation trajectories of innovative development of the reclamation complex of the North Caucasus

The formation of strategic directions and trajectories for the development of land reclamation in the North Caucasus Federal District should be based on an analysis of the natural, technological, and economic parameters of land and water use. The analysis indicates a disparity between the provision of land resources and funds for land reclamation departments in the North Caucasian Federal District. The technical level of irrigation systems and melioration of some lands is insufficient, which has a negative impact on irrigated agriculture. Intensive development involves involving at least 90 percent of available irrigated land in agricultural production through modernization and reconstruction, with existing water resources, changing irrigation technology towards water conservation, increasing the proportion of sprinkler and drip irrigation while reducing surface areas.
