Abstract
Approximately 15% of the territories of the former USSR are arid lands that are mostly situated in the republics of Central Asia and in the south of the Russian Federation. In the agricultural lands of the Central Asian region the portion of irrigated lands is no more than 4%. The remaining 96% are non-irrigated lands of largely forage pastures (over 300 million ha) in deserts, semi-deserts and dry steppes.
