Reclamation assessment of Sauna pool lands

The work on the land reclamation assessment of the Sanaa basin was carried out on the basis of a contract concluded by the Ministry of Land Reclamation and Water Management on the part of the USSR and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries on the part of the YAR. The reclamation assessment of the land fund of the Sanaa basin is based on the availability of soil moisture, as the leading factor influencing the formation of the crop in a specific, highly arid climate and requiring a certain set of reclamation measures. On the basis of the available materials of scientific research of previous years and surveys and surveys conducted, during which the properties of soils, the presence and types of vegetation, moisture and heat supply of productive lands and types of human economic activity were studied, soil-reclamation groups and sub-groups of lands were identified. For each soil-reclamation group and subgroup of lands, measures are proposed to improve and protect soils, including agrotechnical reclamation, chemical reclamation (fertilization, washing of salt marshes, plastering of salt marshes), anti-erosion organization of the territory, methods of irrigation of agri-cultural land and improvement of natural pastures. These materials may be of considerable interest in the production of agricultural crops in terraced farming zones in Dagestan, Ossetia, etc. Of the Russian Federation.
