Annotation: In the article, the solution for im­pro­ving the water supply of Shamakhi and Go­bustan zones by using the water resources of the Shirvan rivers was considered. At present, plants in this zone are mainly grown in greenhouse con­ditions. Surface and under­gro­und water resources are very limited in the area. The main rivers of its territory are Pirsaat and Gozlu rivers. These rivers are mainly fed by rainwater and dry up in summer months. Except for the cities of Shamakhi and Go­bustan, the water supply of the villages located in the area is mainly carried out using springs. Due to the decrease of precipitation in recent years, many springs have dried up or their discharges have dec­reased sharply. There are currently serious prob­lems in the water supply of most settlements. Lack of centralized water supply and poor water supply create serious prob­lems for the creation of small industries and tourism fa­cilities in the region. The soil fund and agro-climatic conditions of the area create ample opportunities for the deve­lop­ment of in­tensive horticulture. However, the lack of water limits the adequate use of these oppor­tu­nities. In order to achieve faster development of this region, a part of the water resources of Agsu­chay, Girdimanchay and Goy­chay rivers should be diverted to this zone. Our pre­liminary researches show that it is possible to provide up to 2.0-2.3 cu­bic meters of water per second con­ti­nuously in self-flowing hydraulic mode by using the water resources of these rivers.

Keywords: water supply, irrigation water, river, wa­ter consumption, perennial water consumption, ma­xi­mum water consumption, minimum water con­sump­tion.
