Abstract
This article presents the results of scientific research conducted on the soils of irrigated meadows in the Fergana region. The study examines natural and anthropogenic factors that provoke negative processes occurring in the region. It determines the depth, mineralization, and qualitative composition of groundwater, as well as the total and toxic salt reserves in genetic and various soil layers. Based on these findings, the current reclamation state of the soils is assessed, and objective evaluations are conducted to develop measures and recommendations for their improvement. Additionally, the processes of salinization and desalinization that may occur in the future are analyzed to predict reclamation and environmental changes.
