Irrigation-Melioration and Construction of Hydrotechnical Facilities

Abstract

The 50s of the 20th century marked the beginning of a new era in the construction of Uzbekistan's water industry. In the decisions of the Soviet government to further strengthen the sole administration of cotton, the main tasks related to water construction in the republic were also defined. Implementation of these tasks is a big and responsible task for the irrigators of Uzbekistan: to perform 570 million cubic meters of soil work on 1.5 million hectares in 4-5 years. For this, it was necessary to clean 60,000 km of intra-household irrigation networks and release 30,000,000 cubic meters of water per day.
