This article describes key questions about the increase of efficiency of reclamation during extreme weather conditions and dry period as well. It is necessary to change the approach to the existing principles of reclamation which are based on the gravity weakly regulated sink from draining objects. Discrete regulation implemented by gravity pumping systems and vertical drainage which is able to provide irrigating and fire prevention activities with groundwater is recommended to be widely used. Article includes the examples of exploitation of such systems. The system of dug reservoir is recommended as a mode to reduce negative influence of dry and cold period on agricultural crops. Author gives us the example of hydrological regime of such dug pond at Polesye experimental station of reclamation agriculture and meadow growing.
