Information on a course of waterings in the Krasnogvardeysky area
Rates of carrying out waterings this year considerably increased in the majority of regions of an autonomy, 156,8 thousand hectares of the physical area that makes 78,4 % from a task are already watered and is a little higher than results of last year of this period.
380,5 thousand gektaropolivov are executed, flooded rice on the area of 12,1 thousand hectares. Frequency rate of waterings made already 2,5 times.
On the average, in days in the Crimea about 4 thousand hectares pour down. 290 dozhdevalny cars work at the irrigated areas of the peninsula in the afternoon and 250 – at night. The water intake is carried out by more than 300 water users.
The task on carrying out waterings for 100 % is executed in the Simferopol, Dzhankoysky and Bakhchsarai areas. Actively continue to step up works on watering in Krasnogvardeysky, Razdolnensky and Saksky areas.
At the same time, below the possibilities, below the last year’s level and average values across the Crimea this year reclamation experts of Krasnoperekopsky, May Day, Nizhnegorsky and Kirov areas where it is watered from 60 to 80 % of the areas provided the organization of waterings. And still the lowest indicators: in the Soviet area – 5,0 thousand hectares or 40,2 % from a task and 25,7 % of existence of the irrigated areas; in the Belogorsky area – 766 hectares or 27,8 % from a task and 11,2 % from existence; in the Black Sea area - 76 hectares or 6,8 % from a task and 1,4 % from existence.
Since the beginning of an irrigation season the water economic organizations on an irrigation of crops it is submitted 456 mln.kub.m waters, including, on zernokormovy crop rotations – 134,3 million m3 and 321,7 million m3 on fig. cultivation.
For a ryborazvedeniye 16,8 million m3 of water are submitted. In bulk reservoirs of drinking appointment 54,5 million m3 of water are gone.
We saw today the onions grown up on an irrigation, over 100 tons from hectare, cucumbers - 20 tons from hectare, good gardens, other plantings. Seen - it is the best propaganda for an irrigation in the Crimea.
I consider that results could be better, if the state provided in full financing of expenses of the electric power used for work of the state pump stations. Since the beginning of 2008 by the water economic organizations Reskomiteta it is consumed the electric power for pumping of water by the state meliorative system, water removal and filling of reservoirs of drinking appointment to the sum of 22,1 million UAH. 12,2 million UAH are paid because of deficiency of means only. Including, at the expense of means of the state budget – 9 million UAH. and means of water consumers – 3,2 million UAH. The debt to power delivering organizations makes 9,9 million UAH., and for the end of August it is expected – about 13,5 million UAH., on the end of the year – over 25 million UAH.
This extremely serious problem will be solved only after the adoption of corresponding changes in the Law of Ukraine About the government budget of Ukraine for 2008.
I ask regional public administrations to discuss with water users farms a question of implementation of payment for the consumed electric power on pumping-over pump stations from a water intake point to a point vodovydela at the expense of means of water consumers farms.
For its part Reskomitetom together with Gosvodkhoz and Council of ministers of AR Crimea is positively solved a question of approach of financing of the electric power since October-November of the current year for August in the sum of 1,7 million UAH., that will allow to reduce partially debt of the state water economic organizations to JSC Krymenergo.
Now managements of a water management together with managements of agroindustrial development carry out work on determination of the areas on which it is necessary to carry out autumn vskhodovyzyvayushchy and vlagozaryadkovy waterings already on the future 2009 crop’s eve. On a forecast, this area will make 41,7 thousand hectares that considerably will allow to carry out as much as possible a task of Council of ministers on waterings of agricultural cultures in the current year.
In our opinion, this year, considering low vlagozapasy, droughty weather and that for this moment should be solved a question of additional allocation of money on the electric power, vlagozaryadkovy waterings will be carried out more in large quantities, and we will try to keep as much as possible water in channels for these purposes.
Our joint task, dear colleagues to provide the organized end of an irrigation season of 2008 and to put a good basis of a crop of next year. Also it would be desirable, that the role of an irrigation was even more powerful, than this year, and and irrigation possibilities we saw today results in this fine agricultural enterprise.
