The Gylyçbaý Arna canal plays an important role in supplying water to agricultural fields in Lebap Region. Running through the territory of the Bereket Farmers’ Association in Kerki District, the canal is essential for irrigating farmland in the northern part of the region.
According to the Lebap.biz website, experienced irrigation specialist Amangeldi Shukurov visits the section of the canal near the village every morning to observe the flow of water. Drawing on his many years of experience, he assesses changes in the water level, the strength of the current and the volume of water flowing through the canal.
According to the irrigation specialist, the water level in the canal has risen slightly in recent days. At present, irrigation is being carried out mainly on plots with intermediate crops and wheat fields where the seedlings have already emerged. Providing crops with the necessary amount of water is one of the key conditions for their healthy growth.
In autumn, the banks of the canal stand out for their particular beauty. The flowing water, riverside vegetation and old, spreading willow trees lend the area a distinctive appearance. For the experienced irrigation specialist, the canal is not merely a source of water, but also a valuable resource that requires daily monitoring and careful preservation.
Known among local residents as Gylyçbaý Arna, the canal is an important part of the irrigation system inherited from previous generations. Using water efficiently, regularly monitoring the canal’s condition and irrigating agricultural fields on time are among the main conditions for achieving abundant harvests.
The daily work of experienced irrigation specialist Amangeldi Shukurov highlights the importance of preserving water resources and using them effectively to help farmers achieve bountiful harvests.
