Experience in Implementing International Cooperation in the Field of Drip Irrigation Modelling in Conditions of Water Scarcity

Abstract

As world practice shows, one of the most important criteria that significantly affects the development and growth of crops during their vegetation is the optimal moisture content in the basal layer. One of the main elements necessary to maintain the water regime of the soil at the optimal level is the determination of several determining parameters, which include, for example, setting the humidification depth of the basal system of a certain culture and maintaining a given moisture level at this depth. The frequency of watering is determined by the depth of humidification: as the depth of humidification increases, the frequency of watering decreases. For the most accurate determination, as shown by many years of experience in international cooperation, it is necessary to preliminary simulate the dynamics of soil moisture. This significantly reduces the costs associated with irrigation of the soil, while significantly improving the efficiency of irrigation. The role of modelling as an effective tool for pre-monitoring the implementation of soil irrigation on the scale of any market entity is growing annually, due to the need to ensure sustainable balanced agricultural development (Devika et al. J Rural Dev 36:293-310, 2017). At the same time, international cooperation in the exchange of experience and advanced information technologies plays an important role (Maksimov et al.
