Methodological principles of selecting the main parameters of irrigation systems in a river basin in the semiarid region: statement of problem
This article presents the methodological principles of substantiating irrigation land improvement and the main parameters of irrigation and supplemental water-supply systems ISS (irrigation areas, capacity of network, design availability, irrigation standard, etc.) as applied to river basins of the semiarid steppe zone. The main point in the methodological principles is the combined and, as far as possible, rigorous examination of all agroclimatic and technico-economic characteristics of irrigation with consideration of the probabilistic character of variations of precipitation, runoff, crop irrigation requirement, and their possible correlations. The development of methodological recommendations for solving the examined problems when conducting calculations both ''manually'' and with the use of computers will make it possible to increase the validity of designing and planning decisions and to reduce expenditures of labor and time.
