Agricultural use of saline soils is possible only through implementing reclamation measures on their desalinization. The removal of salt from soils is a cost-demanding and time-consuming process. Expenses related to the treatment of saline soils are connected with a desalinization method and include costs of water supply to a saline area and its drainage. A reasonable project cost, as well as efficient water consumption depends on the use of natural environment conditions. The reported paper presents the assessment of water recourses in the drainage area of the valley valley, it is focused on the restoration of water bodies in the Kamyshlovsky log, stabilization of their balance, and environmental improvement; the study suggests economic perspectives of saline and alkali soils. The latter is essential to revive the efficiency of natural grasslands in the valley and its use as a disposal of production and household waste water from surrounding rural settlements.
