Rice irrigation technology without water release on Akdala territory of Almaty oblast
Project aim:
Introduction of water saving and erosion-preventive technology of rice irrigation, that provide decreasing water for irrigation consumption on 20-25% and increasing rice yield on 12-18%
Project tasks:
- Select project site and carry out preparatory works in Akdala rice-growing tract
- Work out rice irrigation technology without water release
- Hold informational and educational campaign and promote project
Project results:
- On 100 ha introduced rice irrigation technology without water release
- Achieved water saving when growing rice up to 4-6 thousands m3/ha (20-25%)
- Rice yield increased on 12-15%
- Developed one methodology on rice irrigation technology without water release
- On project results issued one brochure (full color, A5 format, 200 items on Kazakh and 200 items on Russian languages)
- Held: 1 demonstrational seminar, 2 trainings, 4 field days with the aim to acquaint local community with new technology and project results
- Issued 3 articles in newspapers, 3 presentations on local, regional and national level
- New technology decreased water loss from rice grounds
- Decreased load on drain dumping system, improved soil-reclamation conditions of irrigated lands
- Improved farming culture, saving rate is 237 000 tenge (~1600$) per ha
- 60 families, including 27 woman and 40 children benefited from the project
