Abstract. In the article, the work of calculating the amount of silt and sand particles in the forebay and water intake department of the PK-1512+01 KFK and SShK1 irrigation pumping station located in the large Fergana canal was carried out. By calculating the amount of turbid sediments, there are details on how to evenly distribute the flow in the forebay, how to prevent cavitation processes in the suction pipes of the pump, and how to increase the efficiency of the pump station operation mode.
