At the decaying Tsagan-Gol irrigation system, located in the village. Temnik of the Selenginsky region, there is a chance. In the next five years, within the framework of the federal program "Development of the reclamation complex of Russia", the republic begins to reconstruct irrigation systems.
Buryat field growers have every reason to participate in the state program. The installations for supplying water to agricultural lands, built more than sixty years ago, have long ago fallen into disrepair, and farmers cannot afford to restore the networks at their own expense.
The state Tsagan-Gol irrigation system is intended for irrigation of agricultural land on 3514 hectares and replenishment of the lake. Gusinoe. The Galtaisk head water intake structure is completely destroyed today. The issue of restoring the irrigation system was raised 12 years ago, then a new head water intake structure, Tsagan-Golskoye, was built. Its throughput is 13,33 m3 / s. The building is located 500 meters below the river. Temnik. Today it is necessary to carry out reconstruction and regulate the tributary of the Tsagan-Gol river into the lake. Gusinoe to increase yields and disposal of agricultural land and outflow through the Bayan-Gol River, to prevent flooding of the Naberezhny settlement.
If we consider the structure of agricultural lands, then in Buryatia 80% is traditionally occupied by hayfields and pastures. About 2,5% - fodder for annual and perennial crops. Another 2-3% of the area is occupied by grain crops, vegetables and potatoes.
"The restoration of the reclamation complex, the effective use of existing systems and the construction of new ones will become a priority area for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the region for the coming years," said Minister Galsan Dareyev.
In total, there are about 700 irrigation systems in the region, of which 118 are state-owned. These works are planned to be carried out at the expense of the federal budget. The issue is being worked out at the level of the federal agrarian department.
Also in Buryatia, they discussed issues of commissioning the Unegetei irrigation system in the Zaigraevsky district. This system can irrigate 400 hectares of land. This year, an agreement was reached that the company "Buryatkonservprom" will be engaged in the production of vegetables on a site of 40 hectares of this system.
In general, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of Buryatia sets a task for the rational use of two more irrigation systems in the Zaigraevsky district: Bomskaya (1252 ha) and Sundulginskaya (916 ha).
