KIRGIZ IRRIGATION CONSTRUCTION -- Naryn, 16 October -- KIRTAG -- Irrigation workers have
started work on the construction of a big water scoop junction where the new Chon-
Baktygul irrigation canal starts from the river Terek. After it has been
commissioned, the junction will insure the irrigation of around 1,000 hectares of
land in Aktalinskiy Rayon. Work is also underway on laying two irrigation canals
in the Kulanakskaya Valley which will resurrect 500 formerly arid hectares of the
Togolok Moldo Kolkhoz. Preparations have started for the construction of a 15-
kilometer canal and siphon through the river Kurtks in the Ak Sayskaya Valley.
It will help to irrigate 10,000 hectares of pasture land and to establish irrigated
meadows and crop pastures. [Frunze SOVETSKAYA KIRGIZIYA in Russian 17 Oct 72 p 2 L]
NEW RADIO TELESCOPE PLANNED -~ Irkutsk, 12 October -- A unique solar radio telescope
has been designed by scientists at the Sibizmir Institute radio astronomy
laboratory in Irkutsk and will be constructed by 128 antennas which will all follow
the sun in synchrony. . The solar radio telescope will make it possible to obtain.
a complete map of the sun's radio picture. This will be the first such radio
telescope. [Text] [ Moscow SELSKAYA ZHIZN in Russian 13 Oct 72 L]

Another example-Thousands of people today are working on designing large industrial
and dwelling complexes. But it is tremendously difficult to produce a design with
a three-dimensional mock-up. And then its flaws begin to appear. But the "collabora-
tion" of electronic computers and holographic methods makes it possible not only to
shorten to minutes the time of determining the optimal configuration of buildings
but also to demonstrate in space an entire building and its location in the general
plan of streets, squares, and the city.
A propos of this, holography turns a completely new page in the development of
electronic computers themselves. It makes it possible to produce a computer memory
with a density of up to 100 million units of information per square centimeter. It
will be possible to put the entire contents of any multivolume work on a plate the
size of a postage stamp.
.
Such is the outline characterizing the uses of holography.
It is already possible
to foresee the enormous potentialities of this still young science.

MARITIME RESEARCH -- A research ship of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences has left
for a coastal trip along the shores of the Crimea and the Caucasus. Scientists of
the Odessa branch of the Economics Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences
and of Odessa branch of the Institute of Maritime Biology of the academy will carry
out comprehensive research in the coastal regions of the Black Sea, including
hydraulic, geological, and biological research in coastal waters to & depth of

SPITZBERGEN EXPEDITION'S RETURN -- The Soviet Institute of Arctic Geology's 11th
annual field expedition has returned to Leningrad from Spitzbergen. The expedition
studied the geological structure of the archipelago and collected rock samples
and fauna and flora specimens for subsequent laboratory study. Members of the
expedition worked in contact with Norwegian Polar Institute scientists on West
Spitzbergen island. [Leningrad LENINGRADSKAYA PRAVDA in Russian 30 Sep 72 p 4 L]

SOLAR RADIO TELESCOPE -- Irkutsk -- The USSR Academy of Sciences Siberian branch institute
of earth magnetism, ionosphere, and distribution of radio waves has finished work on
a plan for a unique solar radio telescope. It is a cruciform instrument with 128
antennas arranged in north south and east-West directions. The length of each of
the arms is over 600 meters. The diameter of the mirrors is 2.5 meters. All the
antennas will follow the sun in a synchronized fashion. The radio telescope will
be constructed on a site at Badara, 220 kilometers from Irkutsk.
