We consider several schemes of seepage flows from canals and sprinklers of irrigation systems through the soil layer, underlain good underlying permeable confined aquifer or water-resistant base. For their study and formulated using the method of P.Y. Polubarinova-Kochina solved multivariable mixed boundary value problems of the theory of analytic functions. On the basis of these models are developed algorithms for calculating the size of the saturated zone in situations when the filter has to evaluate the combined effect of the painting movement of such important factors as seepage back pressure from the underlying confined aquifer or an impermeable base, cross-sectional shape and channel the power supply level of water in it , capillarity of the soil and evaporation from the free surface of groundwater. The results of calculations for all the schemes are compared with the same filtration filter parameters depending on the shape of the channel as a power source (canal or irrigation), and the type of foundation soil layer (silnopronitsaemy confined aquifer or aquitard).

.Analysis of the data tables and graphs to the following conclusions.The increase in channel width and radius of the sprinkler, the pressure in the underlying aquifer and the height of the vacuum caused by capillary forces in the soil and reduce evaporation and capacity of the soil layer lead to increase the width of the capillary spreading of the water. Reduce evaporation and increase the backwater from the waters of the underlying horizon is accompanied by increase in the magnitude
and, conversely, decrease the filtration rate

to so that the width of the capillary spreading of the water
exceeds the height of capillary rise of liquids up to 120%.However, the greatest influence on
the capillarity of the soil has. From table 2 shows that the parameter

is increased by 275.4%. In this case, for example, for the value
we have
, with increasing
values of this ratio increases, with the largest difference is achieved for values
and may approach 200%.Thus, the capillarity of the soil increases as the filtration rate, and the width of the strip of irrigated soil. In other words, the capillarity of the soil increases the efficiency of canals and sprinklers of irrigation systems.The last block of table 2 makes it possible to analyze the impact of cross-sectional shape channel power sources, comparing the results for the channels (scheme 1) and sprinklers (scheme 2) with the same filter characteristics. A comparison of these results, as well as from the graphs in scheme 2, it follows that if sprinklers are the final specifications

. An increase in the size of the zone of saturation by increasing the spreading of liquid on the water pressure
is related to figure 3 to increase capacity of the soil layer, which is quite natural from a physical point of view.The data in table 3 again emphasize the significance of horizontal absorption of water for both schemes 1 and 3: when
