SCIENTIFIC, METHODOLOGICAL, AND PRACTICAL MECHANISMS FOR IMPROVING WATER RESOURCE ACCOUNTING IN AGRICULTURE BASED ON DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

The article discusses issues related to ensuring the efficient use of water resources in agriculture under conditions of water scarcity, as well as accounting for and managing water consumption through digital technologies. It substantiates that traditional water balance calculations cannot fully reflect differences in regional natural and climatic conditions and irrigation technologies. In this regard, an improved approach that takes into account the regional adjustment coefficient (XT) and the technological coefficient (TK), as well as the digital SHYM model for water accounting, is analyzed. Using a cotton field in G‘uzor District as an example, calculations for traditional and drip irrigation methods are compared.
