The deputy chief of Razdolnensky management of a water management brought some results of use of irrigated lands in 2005, told about a course of preparation of objects of an irrigation to reception of dneprovsky water.
WATER – it is ALREADY CLOSE
March and already less than a month comes to an end remains until when locks of a head construction of the North Crimean channel will be once again open, and water from the Kakhovsky reservoir a cheerful stream will run to the Crimea, On the branched-out network of channels almost on all peninsula the big and small artificial rivers will flow. In the 39th time vivifying dneprovsky moisture will be received by plants on fields of Razdolnensky and Black Sea areas.
In our northwest region of the Crimea transformation of agricultural production into advanced and steadily profitable sector of economy is impossible without easing of its dependence on adverse climatic conditions. The problem of improvement of conditions of water supply of crops can be successfully solved by a way of the maximum use of capacity of irrigated lands in areas, and it is confirmed very visually by last 3-4 last years: in the Razdolnensky area for 2005 from enough large agricultural enterprises with profit worked SYaK "Karkinitsky", ChSP "Chernyshevsky", KFH "Grain-grower". SPK of Lenin, SOOO "Field" and some small enterprises. All listed agricultural producers to the maximum used available for them in using irrigated lands, increasing at the same time application of modern agrotechnologies, improving fertility of soils by timely introduction of necessary complexes of fertilizers, growing up high-yielding grades. In specified above five enterprises 76 % from all irrigated 11400 hectares of lands of the area were watered. For needs of an irrigation these water users in 2005 took away 99,8 million cubic meter of dneprovsky water that makes 93 % from the general water consumption on an irrigation on the area. There is no irrigation this droughty year chances at agricultural leaders of the area to remain the profitable enterprises would be insignificant.
Their positive example of effective use of irrigated lands for many small and medium-sized enterprises of the area became a reference point. This year they take away under earth watering in total area of 13104 hectares that for 15 % more than – in 2005.
In the Black Sea area the situation with an irrigation certainly is worse, but also in it closely two water users on total area to 600 hectares (last year there was only one – SPK Krasnoyarsk) there plan to be engaged. Arrival of the investors, ready to invest big money in restoration of irrigated agriculture on fields which already on neskolku didn’t receive years some dneprovsky water is expected.
The grant for each hectare of the watered various agricultural cultures at a rate of 53 hryvnias will be big help for land users promised by the government of Ukraine – these are 700 thousand hryvnias on an irrigation in two areas. In this case in more advantageous position there will be those enterprises, water on which fields from intereconomic state channels arrives in the samotechny way. The sums of the grants allocated for an irrigation, quite will suffice on fee on the water supply, provided by Razdolnensky interdistrict management of a water management.
And here to those enterprises, water on which fields moves through pump stations, is spun to work in conditions less favorable financially if Resolutions of Cabinet council of Ukraine and AR Crimea Council of ministers on assignment for full or partial compensation of cost of the electric power spent for water supply aren’t adopted. Especially expensive there will be a giving it on the fields which irrigation is made by high-pressure head dozhdevalny cars "Frigate", "Dnepr". At cultivation of a soya, forage, vegetable and some other crops on one hectare for an irrigation season happens it is necessary to submit taking into account losses to 4 thousand cubic meter of water at specific costs of the electric power of giving of one thousand cubic meter about 280-340 kWh. Water supply cost on hectare will make in this case 300-400 hryvnias depending on specific conditions of each irrigated crop rotation. But as a whole we hope that the government can apply reasonable financial leverages to irrigation stimulation with use of shirokozakhvatny equipment,
Well and in order that water in due time came to our areas and arrived on fields of farmers, employees of Razdolnensky interdistrict management of a water management make all efforts and means for timely carrying out capital and maintenance of objects of the state intereconomic meliorative systems, pump stations. Already actually 32 pump stations are in full prepared for reception of water of 126 kilometers of channels, the demand for which work in 2006 arrived from water users. And we believe that 2006 will pass in the region under the badge of development of irrigated agriculture, partial restoration of those boundaries which the irrigation reached in the early nineties last century
