CHANGE IN WATER CONSUMPTION OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS IN ALMATY REGION DURING GLOBAL WARMING

Abstract

Climatic and weather conditions determine the conditions for the growth, development and formation of agricultural crops. Over the past 70 years, significant changes have occurred in the climate and bioclimatic potential of the territory. Changing climatic factors (temperature and humidity, precipitation) predetermined the importance of revising the magnitude of the water consumption of crops cultivated in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article substantiates the changes in the water consumption of agricultural crops in the Almaty region on the basis of the information and analytical work carried out in terms of the regulation of water consumption and methods for establishing their indicators. In the course of the work, studies were carried out (collection of information data, analysis, generalization, systematization) on agro-climatic indicators, the structure of agricultural crops in the administrative districts of the Almaty region. Adjustment of the norms of water consumption of zoned agricultural crops will allow agricultural producers to ensure the optimal irrigation regime andincrease the productivity of agricultural crops.
