Journal Title: Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The article considers the ameliorative condition of the Ararat valley. It presents the main sources that feed the local ground waters, as well as the annual regime variations of these groundwater levels on the areas of the adjacent irrigated and saline lands, and fish farm ponds. The author indicates the role of the horizontal drains in formation of these regimes, and the factual data prove their regular cleaning necessity. Suggestions are given for partial and fundamental improvement of the valley ameliorative conditionCurrently, the RA government is undertaking a number of measures in order to draw the agriculture in the republic out of unfavorable conditions, and to provide its future development which in its turn will help to increase the population standard of living and control inflation. In the Republic of Armenia, where the land resources are extremely limited, the development of agricultural production is generally possible by increasing soil fertility and providing high crop yield. One of the main prerequisites to reach the goal is a favorable, ameliorative condition of the cultivated plots. The mentioned is mainly addressed to the Ararat valley which is the Republic’s fundamental storehouse of agricultural products. Favorable nature and climatic conditions in case of appropriate implementation of agro technical and irrigation works allow to get high and sustainable crop yields
