Purpose: to develop a methodology for assessing and calculating the geoirrigation situation imbalance index (GISI) for diagnostics, coupled analysis, and monitoring of land use in reclamation systems.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted in the basis of a system approach using the methods of geometric intervals, correlation and factor analysis, and ranking. The database for calculations was formed on the data of Russian institutions, the portal of the All-Russian Research Institute of Irrigation Systems and Agricultural Water Supply “Raduga”, and enterprises of municipal districts of Western Siberia.

Results. The GISI index was assessed and 64 municipal districts in the southeast of Western Siberia were ranked according to the adaptive potential of land use in reclamation systems, the degree of imbalance, and the vulnerability of key elements of the geoirrigation situation. The group with favorable low GISI imbalance values (less than 2.36) included seven districts in the Altai Territory and one district each in the Altai Republic and Novosibirsk Region. The group with unfavorable high GISI imbalance values (more than 4.69) included five districts in Kemerovo Region and three districts in Novosibirsk Region. It was found that the highest degree of imbalance of the geoirrigation situation components is observed for the Baraba Plain districts of Novosibirsk Region and the Kemerovo Region districts. At the same time, the combination of unfavorable factors contributing to an increase in the degree of imbalance and the emergence of conflict situations differs. For the Baraba Plain districts, the imbalance is determined by a high degree of soil salinization, while for the districts of Kemerovo Region, it is determined by the lack of state support for the restoration of irrigation systems due to their high degree of deterioration.

Conclusions. The integration of the GISI index into strategic documents for the implementation of sustainable irrigation intensification policies is an effective support tool for the prompt adoption of compensatory management measures.
