The article presents data on the coefficient of performance (COP) of the existing irrigation systems, data on losses from irrigation channels and the distribution of their filtration. Examines the implications, fuss-tic at lower efficiency and as a result, filtration of water from irrigation canals-systems. A number of measures to reduce the loss of water through seepage from irrigation canals, including: maintenance, engineering and design activities.
