On the Role of Systems of Small Intensive Irrigation in Solving the Problems of Mineral Farming in Azerbaijan
Journal Title: Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The total area of the Republic of Azerbaijan is 8 641 500 hectares of land, of which 55 per cent (4 756 500 ha) are suitable for agriculture, and that 16.6 per cent of the total area or 1432 600 ha of irrigated land accounted for. 1 808 400 hectares out of the total balance of the land belongs to the arable, that is suitable for agricultural production (Figure 1). It should be noted that of the total area of 181 600 hectares of arable land are a controversial issue in the conditioning of Armenia. Currently more than 42.8% of the whole territory of the Republic (70 ... 85% in some regions) are exposed to a variety of erosional processes [1]. The issue of the availability of suitable water resources for agriculture. It should be recognized that one person in 1959 year accounted for 0.36 ha of arable land in 1970 year-0.23 HA, in 1979 year-0.21 HA in 2006, fell to 0.155 HA. The authors of this article estimates that water resources accounts for 32.5 billion m3, and in dry years this figure is reduced to 23.16 billion m3. The results of the study revealed that up to 96% of irrigated land irrigated mainly traditional irrigation techniques (furrow and puffed, superficial way), and in other ways using progressive water saving low-intensity irrigation technology only to 5% of the total irrigated land [2]. Of the total 224 700 hectares of arable land are occupied by permanent crops, 117 600 hectares are hayfields, 256.0 k. hectares of pastures, 45.7 thousand. HA-fallow land, smallholdings-258 100 hectares (227 600 hectares of arable), 1038800 HA included in share of regional forest plantations [3]. With the increase in population (currently there are about 10 million people) of land allocated for construction of buildings and constructions, etc. resulting in rise in groundwater levels, develop various types of erosion. As a result of incorrect reference soil-conservation activities at production facilities in selected households and violations of rules on cultivation of environmentally sound technologies (including agricultural machinery) area arable land per capita has been declining annually. So, one person in 1959 year accounted for 0.36 ha of arable land in 1970 year-0.23 HA, in 1979 year-0.21 HA in 2006, fell to 0.155 ha [4]. 60% of the entire territory are located in the mountainous part of the Republic. Due to the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors here can meet all types of erosion [5]. Based on the results of numerous research articles by the authors in the study of the regularities of the development problems of land degradation and landscape in some regions, it was found that the erosion process has a very wide distribution (especially in mountainous terrain) in the Republic of Azerbaijan. As stated above, more than 42.8 per cent of the country is exposed to a variety of erosional processes [6]. One of the biggest factors is water and irrigation erosion.
