To IRRIGATION WATER – the ROAD ON FIELDS
The May Day site of Krasnoperekopsky management of irrigating systems is created for an irrigation of lands. The May Day management of irrigating systems on March 16, 1977 was based on its base.
To the middle of the 80th years in Pervomaisk the area 40112 hectares of irrigated lands, and taking into account "satellites" in separate years on watering of 45-46 thousand hectares were used. 200-210 million m3 of dneprovsky water moved.
In 1982 the connecting channel is installed. This unique construction in the general extent of 42 km with five pump stations, capable to lift water on height more than 80 m to provide watering of 80 thousand hectares in Pervomaisk, Razdolnensky, Black Sea, Saksky, Krasnogvardeysky and Simferopol areas, to provide with water Simferopol, Sevastopol and Yalta.
Extent of an irrigating network which serves the management, more than 700 km. On 11 intereconomic channels 33 pump stations with 125 pump and power units are constructed.
Social and economic crisis and land reform painfully struck on irrigated agriculture of the area. In 2004 management submitted only 13 million m3 of water for watering of 10 thousand hectares.
Unfortunately, not everywhere heads of farms give due consideration to irrigation questions. If such farms as SPK "Georgia" (head V.I.Hasitoshvili), JSC Ptitsekompleks-Agro (L.M.Ivanyas), JSC Agropromservice (G.L.Sanin) completely restored an intraeconomic network and dozhdevalny equipment, get new systems of watering, the farms located in the territory of Chernovsky, Voykovsky, Susaninsky and Alekseevsky village councils, having at the order from 1,5 to 2,0 thousand hectares of irrigated lands with equipment of watering of DM "Frigate", don’t water any hectare.
But even under trying conditions agrarian and industrial complex reforming our collective managed to keep an intereconomic irrigating network in working condition and together with farms of the area to water in 2007 more than 17 thousand hectares, having submitted on fields of 36 million m3 of water.
Now intereconomic channels and pump stations provide watering on the area of 19-20 thousand hectares. Workers of USK Evgeny Deshchitsa, Leonid Voloshko, the deserved reclamation expert of the Crimea Feodor Kalika, Maria Serputko, Neil Botvinko, Vera Anipreeva, Lyudmila Deshchitsa, Grigory Beregovenko, Lydia Krupko and their companions do everything of PUVH in order that irrigated lands of the area gave complete return.
