SOIL POLLUTION RESULTING FROM RISING GROUNDWATER LEVELS IN SYRDARYA REGION
Keywords:
groundwater, soil degradation, secondary salinization, Syrdarya region, reclamation condition.Abstract
This article scientifically examines the processes of soil pollution and degradation occurring in the Syrdarya region as a result of rising groundwater levels. The intensification of secondary salinization in irrigated lands, accumulation of chemical substances, and decline in soil biological activity are analyzed as major environmental challenges. The results of the study indicate that an increase in groundwater levels has a negative impact on soil fertility and disrupts the stability of agroecosystems.
