SOIL DESALINATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E02B13/00 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, desalination of agricultural lands.

SUBSTANCE: method involves feeding water to land to be desalinated; cutting slits therein; irrigating strips between slits; removing salt from slit wall surfaces and spilling soil thereon, with slits being provided at distance from one another which does not exceed doubled value of capillary transfer of soil moisture at land under desalination process and slit cutting depth being set so that it exceeds value of capillary lifting of moisture by soil at land under desalination process; forming ridges with two sloping surfaces on strips between slits; placing pipelines with droppers thereon, said pipelines being connected to water supply main; covering strip surfaces with water-impermeable shields made from hydrophilic material; fastening shield edges in upper part of slits; supplying water from droppers up to termination of desalination procedure, with following interrupting of water supplying process; moving soil layer with salt from slit walls onto slit bottom and forming water-impermeable layer of hydrophilic material above said soil layer; leveling slits.

EFFECT: reduced consumption of washing water, increased efficiency in soil desalination, decreased consumption of labor and costs for extraction, conveyance and disposition of salts settled on slit walls.
