IRRIGATIVE CONSTRUCTION IN KARAKALPAKSTAN IN THE 20-70 YEARS OF THE XX CENTURY

Abstract

From the first days of the establishment of Soviet power, the new government took a number of measures to nationalize land and water. The purpose of these events was to concentrate the land and water resources and other natural resources of the region of the central government headed by the Bolshevik Party. Since 1919 they began to expand the Kyzketken channel to improve the water supply of the lands of the Kuvanyshdzharma and Kegeyli channel system, which gave new land development in the amount of 15 thousand hectares in Chimbay and the Daukara lowland. In 1926, there was construction of the head structure on the Kyzketken channel. Putting into operation in April 1935 it ensured a stable water intake and by 1937 made it possible to irrigate areas of up to 60 thousand hectares [1]. In 1939-1940, the Kegeyli channel was expanded and straightened, and a new Mayab inter-farm channel was built
