METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTH CAUCASUS RECLAMATION COMPLEX

Abstract

The North Caucasian region is a large agricultural enclave, the main agricultural lands of which are located in strongly and weakly arid natural and climatic zones, in which only the development of irrigated agriculture can ensure the receipt of high and stable yields of agricultural crops. The main negative factors that reduce the potential of the irrigation fund are reclaimed lands that are not used in agricultural production, due to physical wear and tear and destruction of infrastructure structures, the lack of planned construction and installation work on modernization and regulatory modes of operation of the irrigation network. Innovative development of the agrarian and economic territories of the North Caucasus, with existing hydraulic and reclamation facilities, involves a technical, environmental and economic feasibility study of development programs, the development, launch and implementation of consistently balanced economic, technical and institutional processes that will ensure the innovative modernization of engineering and reclamation infrastructure to improve the reliability of water supply linear facilities and of structures, quality and productivity of technological operations in the operation of reclamation and water management systems. In the context of climate change and violation of the hydrological regime, taking into account the forecast of a decrease in renewable water resources and moisture supply in the North Caucasus region, an increase in water consumption and competition between sectors of the production sector, the main water users need to determine the ways of rational use of the reclamation fund, ensuring environmental requirements, social and economic efficiency of functioning and innovative development reclamation fund of the North Caucasus region. An important scientific task is to study and substantiate a methodological approach to analyzing and determining the social effectiveness of the innovative development of the reclamation infrastructure of the North Caucasus on the basis of the implementation of an integrated complex of agro-reclamation and hydrotechnical measures. taking into account the environmental, socio-economic, technical and operational aspects of the functioning of engineering and reclamation systems on irrigated lands.
