Abstract
Ascertained: Similarity indices for soil water regimes according to the laws of similarity of physical systems based on the hydraulic model operational experience. Water supply index of farming soils characterizes boundary (regional) conditions and is applied for foundation of the requirement of using water conservation. The indices of soil water capacity, internal soil water exchange and surface flow are characterized as local factors of making up water balance and may be used at foundation of the required relationships of reclamation and humidification (irrigation) land developments. Depending on the task to be accomplished each local factor may serve as for evaluation of initial conditions, or to be presented as an index of dynamic similarity. The evaluation and comparison indices of soil water regimes of root-inhabited soil layer is recommended to be used for research-founded adaptation of experimental results obtained in the process of model (stationary) experiments to natural (operating) conditions of water balance control, as well for evaluation of water relationships of reclaimed soils that considerably change their water-physical properties in the process of long-term farming exploitation.

Abstract
Ascertained: Interconnection of willow crop to levels of ground waters. It is also proved that at igh level of ground waters willow uses more water than traditional field crops during their vegetation period. The efficiency index of water use (WUE) reflecting the ratio of plant mass yield to quantity of water used has the most favorable value in light soils at a depth of ground waters equal to 100 cm. The results of investigations show that growing willow for the purposes of energy requires large quantity of water, in what connection shortage of water considerably restricts crop-producing power of willow plantations. Taking into consideration the restricted water resources of Poland the expansion of willow production to industrial scale may result in increase of water deficiency.

Abstract
Presented: Research results of drainage action with various modes of drying-out loess-like loams in recess relief. Research has been performed within the object "Mazolovskiy" in Mstislavl district of Mogilev region. Investigations have been conducted at different versions and ways of drainage and lied in observations of moisture content, groundwater level, drainage effluent and ameliorative conditions. Where, regardless of the way of drainage, deposit of moisture and moisture content differed insignificantly in all the examined versions, it allows to make a conclusion that formation of water relationships substantially depends only on weather factors and soil and relief conditions. Based on the obtained results it is proposed to simplify some constructive solutions, specifically, to reduce the application of blind drainage on low-penetrating soils provided the surface slopes being > 0.005. It becomes evident in the article that one of the most optimal ways of reclamation in such soils is considered the versions based on organization of surface run-off by exposure of saddles and arrangement of hollows.

Abstract
Presented: Calculation results of economic efficiency of standard process chart for removal of woodyshrubby vegetation from canal slopes, developed by RUP "Institute of Amelioration". For comparison technique with complete recycling of land wood-pulp and its use as a fuel material is taken as basic technique. Distinguishing feature of new technique consists in the following: after felling the residual stubs are completely sawed off and their face planes are applied with concentrated solution (1:1) of silvicide to prevent from regrowth of root sucker. Growing offshoots later on are additionally processed with silvicide. New technique makes it possible to exclude from processing labour-intensive procedures on uprooting and removal of loot residues as well as their utilization, combustion or burial of waste so providing significant reduction of costs for summary of woody-shrubby vegetation.

Abstract
Presented: Examination Data on qualitative composition of organic matter in peat soils of various terms of agricultural utilization (40-450 years) followed after drainage. Investigations were carried out by means of fractionation of organic matter and interpretation of derived IR-spectra of bitumen and humic acids. The analysis of investigations results of fractional composition and functional groups of organic matter of peat and postpeat soils showed that in the process of long-term agricultural utilization of drained lands happens no considerable qualitative change of organic matter. All the selected and examined parameters show that in peat and postpeat soils after drainage soil processes typical for podzolic or soddy-podzolic soils resulting in the formation of new soil variety usually with sublayer of peat swamp or sand prevail. Fertility of reformed soil varieties is mainly determined by agricultural production level.

Abstract
Presented: Results of field investigations with respect to productivity of fodder crops and based on them crop successions in anthropogenously converted strongly mineralized peat soils. It is ascertained that average productivity within 4 years may make up from 61.7 to 92.9 centners per hectare unit, and derived fodders are balanced in protein. Application of organomineral fertilizer system permits to preserve fertility of anthropogenously converted peat soils. That very technique provides for self-supporting balance of microelements at growing yearling cultures and forwards to domination of soil-forming processes shifted in the direction of humus-like agents (humification factor exceeds 1). Correct approach to forming successions makes it possible to get a profit out of the production of balanced in protein fodders.

Abstract
Data received in the result of investigations permit to state that there occur no significant changes of qualitative factors of zooplankton in the areas under investigation. Abundance and biomass values in generally accepted classification allow relating Lake Svitiaz to mesotrophic type. Zone of macrophytes is characterized by the largest species diversity. Submersed and emergent vegetation participates in self-purification and creates more favorable conditions of existence, this stipulates appearance of species that are not found in two other areas under investigation. Existence of higher aquatic vegetation in places of inflow of soil-reclamation canals and return waters from watering fields promotes absorption of biogenic elements and stimulates development of zooplankton additionally participating in self-purification.
