is necessary to make a decision on the conservation
or liquidation of facilities of this class.
For the effective operation of reclamation systems
and separately located hydraulic structures, it is
necessary to carry out the whole complex of
technical, organizational and economic measures to
ensure the maintenance of the reclamation network,
structures and equipment, their periodic inspection,
scheduled preventive maintenance, identification and
elimination of emergencies, rational water
distribution, regulation of the water regime of soils,
management and control over the preparation of the
reclamation network and structures for work during
the growing season by water users.
However, the potential of reclaimed lands and
state reclamation systems is significantly higher than
the actual indicators. The main limiting factors for
increasing the productivity of agricultural land are the
insufficient development of complex reclamation,
low technical level of reclamation systems, the
development of land degradation processes, such as
erosion, salinization, waterlogging, underflood,
deficiency of organic matter and mineral nutrients,
desertification (Kireicheva, 2017; Olgarenko et al.,
2019).
For sustainable development and complex
modernization of the reclamation complex, an agreed
solution of a number of priority tasks is required:
development of a complex of engineering and
technical and technological solutions for the
restoration and modernization (reconstruction)
of hydro land reclaiming systems and hydraulic
structures, reclamation measures to improve
the ecological state of reclaimed lands, with a
justification of the scope and structure of work,
resourcing, as well as the sequence of works to
modernize the reclamation complex on
irrigated lands and dykeland by stages of the
Program implementation;
improvement of the operation of reclamation
systems, incl. introduction of new technologies
and equipment for maintenance operational
works on reclamation systems and canal
cleaning, organization of rational water use,
using GIS-technologies for water distribution,
automation, and telemechanics, flood
prevention measures;
increasing the efficiency of water-economic
complex management using computer
technologies, information and analytical
support, development of monitoring and
planning systems for water use, ecological
audit, management and control in the field of
land reclamation and water management;
development of a system for the provision of
information and consulting services and the
contagion of advanced experience in modern
technologies of construction, reconstruction
and effective use of reclaimed lands;
development of infrastructure, improvement of
organizational and socio-economic
mechanisms for the functioning of the
reclamation and water-economic complex of
the agro-industrial complex;
reforming the organizational structure of the
system of the operation of reclamation facilities
with the creation of regional technological
parks and specialized operational bases, that
ensure high-quality carrying out of
maintenance operational works; creation of
experimental production testing grounds;
development of the production base of the
reclamation industry, the formation of planning
and surveying centers, the scientific and
laboratory base of federal state budgetary
scientific institutions, subordinate to the
Department of Reclamation;
development and updating of regulatory and
procedural and standard technical documents,
ensuring the effective operation of the
reclamation and water-economic complex of
the agro-industrial complex;
development of human resources in the field of
reclamation industry, hydraulic engineering,
water economy, and agricultural water supply:
preservation and development of scientific
potential, training of highly qualified scientific
and pedagogical personnel, retraining of
engineering and managerial personnel in
universities and research institutes, taking into
account the new economic situation and land
planning of the territory.
The development program of the reclamation
complex should include the concept of adaptive
landscape agriculture, the development of
ecologically reliable water circulation irrigation and
water supply systems, drainage and wastewater
treatment technologies; prevention of water and wind
erosion, restoration and vegetative reclamation;
biochemical technologies for restoring soil fertility,
bioengineering systems for treatment of drainage and
wastewaters, land and forest reclamation.
Development of an industrial base for the
reconstruction and restoration of reclamation systems
of operation and maintenance providers, technical re-
equipment, a system of machines for the construction
and operation of reclamation systems.
