Geostatistical Analysis of Saline Condition and Development of Counter Measures Regarding Irrigation and Drainage in Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Aziz Omonov, Hirotaka Saito

Abstract: Research as conducted by using GIS (Geostatistical analysis) and an understanding of the causes and further impacts of salinization, and data analysis was performed. Research methodology was applied in Bukhara province, as a case study. A Geostatistic model was applied to the study area of cotton field where its quite influenced by salinization. Analyzing field condition, interpolating methodology of geostatistics were applied. This research will proceed to develop preventive counter measures for the analysis by Geostatistical modeling. There will be a preliminary step towards decision making for agricultural policy, such as the saline areas or identification of zones that are suitable for crop growth.
