Soil salinity presents a significant challenge to agricultural productivity in arid regions like the Republic of Karakalpakstan. This study investigates the impact of drip irrigation systems on soil properties at varying levels of salinity. By examining key soil characteristics—such as texture, moisture content, pH, and nutrient availability—before and after the implementation of drip irrigation, we aim to assess the effectiveness of this method in mitigating the adverse effects of salinity on soil health. The findings indicate that drip irrigation significantly improves soil moisture retention and nutrient distribution, particularly in soils with moderate to high salinity levels.
