The object of the study is river basins, in which many irrigation complexes have been allocated for the development of agricultural production. Each irrigation complex, in turn, serves a set of farms -the main links of agricultural production. Naturally, the task of irrigation development in the river basin is considered in a certain sequence (river basin -irrigation system -irrigated economy); which allows to link sectoral planning with territorial planning and to take into account the interests of the development of agricultural sectors, economic zones and districts.
