Belarus is located in a zone of excessive waterlogging of the soil, so most reclamation systems are designed to drain land. 4948 reclamation systems were built to ensure compliance with the design standards for drainage.
Maintenance of functioning, reconstruction of reclamation systems is provided for in the State Program «Agricultural Business» for 2021-2025. In 2022, land reclamation organizations must ensure proper operation, restoration of hydraulic structures, with an emphasis on moisture reserves. It is also necessary to mow at least 160 thousand km of canals, remove tree and shrub vegetation for 3.5 thousand km, and repair about 4,000 water control structures.
Reconstruction of reclamation systems and efficient use of land makes an important contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 2, 9, 15 and other SDGs.
