Within the framework of the budget program “Increasing access to knowledge and scientific research” of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the organization of the Kazakh Rice Research Institute named after Yu.In order to implement the subprogram “Free information support for subjects of the agro-industrial complex”, a seminar on the topic “The impact of automation and accounting of irrigation on saving water resources and increasing rice yields” was held at the farm “Er-Ali”.
The relevance of this meeting, which is attended by fellow citizens who follow innovations in the field of agriculture, is also relevant, because one of the urgent problems of recent times is water conservation.
In the practical part of the seminar, a device from the Australian irrigation automation company Rubicon Water was presented, counting up to every liter of water entering the field irrigation channel of the farm, and a device for maintaining a constant water level in rice fields. . The latter apparently saves up to 10,000 cubic meters of water per shoot compared to conventional irrigation.
Vice Minister of the Ministry of Water Management and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aslan Abdraimov noted in his preface that the irrational use of drinking and irrigation water leads to an even greater shortage of it, and the head of the regional Department of Agriculture and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Talgat Duisebayev, said that instead of demanding regulation of water resources from above, we must effectively use them To use it, he said that it was necessary to start.
Rice Institute scientists Serikbai Omirzakov and Zhanuzak Baymanov were able to present the current water situation of our region, problems and solutions with calculations and evidence.
In turn, Yerzhan Tolegenov, a Kazakhstani representative of Rubicon Water, presented a system of water-saving automated installations. These units are made of a special waterproof material, which makes them more durable. Its installation does not require a lot of money, in general, they are equivalent to the annual volume of water discharged in households.
Alibi Bekzhanov danced to the accompaniment of a small video presentation of his farm. Any type of agricultural crops planted on the basis of scientific principles gives its results. If this is the farm “Al-Ali”, which rejected the conclusion that apples in our region do not ripen, then the fishery started this year for such a purpose should bear fruit. His passion for innovation is also evidenced by the fact that he was the first to install an automated irrigation system.
Following the results of the event, the participants showed great interest in the effectiveness of water-saving devices and realized that the mass installation of this system in our region is not far off.
