Keywords:
Lower Zarafshan, reclamation, soil salinization, groundwater, drainage system, irrigation, water-saving technologies, agrarian development, ecological sustainability.Abstract
This article scientifically analyzes measures to improve the reclamation condition of the Lower Zarafshan natural-geographical district. The reclamation status of the region is a complex system directly related to irrigation water requirements, soil salinization, groundwater mineralization, drainage system efficiency, and irrigation infrastructure. The article examines methods for improving reclamation conditions through water resource management, drainage system modernization, soil restoration, and socio-technological measures. Statistical data, scientific research, and national accounting are analyzed, providing recommendations for stabilizing the agrarian potential of the region.
