In this article there is a speech how in the Soviet area restore irrigating equipment.
On October 17, 1963 powerful explosion at the well-known Perekopsky shaft lifted in air the last barrier – an earth crossing point, and water of gray-haired Dnepr directed to the Crimea. And nowadays locks of a head construction of the North Crimean channel in 12 00 were open on March 28 in the fiftieth time. In the Crimea the fiftieth season of an irrigation began.
Big water came to the Soviet area on April 12. Telling me about features of the current season of an irrigation, the chief engineer of the Soviet management of a water management N. N. Kostyanov reported that the area of irrigated lands in the area makes now 19483 hectares, of them 1625 hectares – in rice crop rotations.
- 12,5 thousand hectares were included in the plan of preparation – he noticed, – Protocols of plans – intentions of watering of crops are already signed. The conclusion of contracts on water supply to land users comes to an end.
The irrigation in the area will be how effective now depends on, whether will manage to the earth – and water users it is rational to use mineral fertilizers, organic chemistry, irrigation water, dozhdevalny equipment.
In 2004 in the area 21 dozhdevalny cars were, but for 2006-2007 of this equipment considerably increased. JSC Tavriya-semena got two dozhdevalka of "Vauyer" and one dozhdevalny car of drum-type type, on two dozhdevalny Vauyer cars got JSC Kama and SOOO "Alliance". Now in park of dozhdevalny equipment 31 installations are. Systems of a drop irrigation are introduced: in SOOO "Gloria" – on 3ga, SOOO "Planet" – on 7ga, SOOO "Alliance" – on 20ga. However it is not enough of all this for an irrigation of the planned area. It is necessary for land users to restore park of dozhdevalny equipment or to consider possibility of application of other ways of watering.
The deputy the chief of the Soviet management of a water management on the L.G water resources. Artashkevich expressed in conversation with me concern in a present condition of an irrigation in the area.
- Our area is insignificant – the area borrows a little more than 100 thousand hectares – he – from them tells arable lands – the little of more than 60 thousand hectares, and irrigated only 19,5 thousand hectares. And we should as it is possible to use each irrigation hectare more effectively. However the raspayevaniye of lands brought confusion, generated irresponsibility in the relations to meliorative systems and lands.
Many land users at all refuse now an irrigation. And if all of us don’t change to them the relation, these lands simply will lose the value as irrigated.
He right there noticed that "sprout" in the area and sprouts of the new relation to an irrigation. In KFH "Impulse" (head A.A.Kirichenko), in JSC Tavriya-semena (Yu.N.Morgunov), (S. D. Kopanits’s) SOOO "Alliance", JSC Kama (brothers Peter and Sergey Shvay). Restore old irrigation equipment, get new, invest in construction of pump stations and irrigating systems. In JSC Tavriya-semena, for example, decided to expand in the next two years the area of irrigation lands to 1500 hectares and to conduct waterings by new mobile irrigation equipment.
