groundwater levels and
its increased mineralization, poor functioning of the collector-drainage
system, and insufficient compliance with agro-technical requirements. These drivers, in turn, lead to
the withdrawal of arable land from agricultural purposes and a significant drop in crop yields. This is
especially the case in the irrigated areas of the lower reaches of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers,
including Uzbekistan, southern Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. In regard to Uzbekistan, the research
on soil salinity assessment was conducted in the irrigated areas of the Syrdarya province by analyzing
raw data derived from traditional methods from 2000 to 2015, as well as from 2016 to 2019 using the
integrated traditional and GIS-based
methods. Based on the results of field and laboratory studies on
spatio-temporal soil salinization changing dynamics in the province,
such maps were created to
investigate similar spatial patterns on soil salinity over time by using the GIS-based interpolation
method.
The results of the research work revealed that soil salinity highly depends on soil conditions and
its relief, and climatic factors of the province. Regarding the main findings of the research,
agricultural specialists and farms are distinctly encouraged to take the following measures to address
the actual soil salinity condition in the irrigated areas of the province:
targeted and wisely use of
irrigation water; exist drainage networks are in perfect working condition and monitoring their full
effective operation; and, lastly, accelerating the integration of innovative
GIS technologies into
traditional methods.
