Abstract
More than three-quarters of Ukraine receives insufficient and unreliable rainfall so irrigation is undertaken in most parts of the country. Generalization of long-term observations according to the direction of soil processes indicates that drip irrigation with water of first-class quality causes no significant changes in the water cycle. Use of second-class water causes a slight salinization under rotational vegetable crops; these changes are temporary but still merit remedial measures. Third-class water is unsuitable for irrigation; it causes salinity and sodicity. Methods have been developed to improve the quality and optimise the composition of irrigation water. Further agro-technical measures are recommended for reclamation of saline soils. Ameliorative measures can combat but not eliminate salinity and sodicity.
