Угдан можно возродить (Забайкалье)

Abstract

The variant of the revival of the unique lake of Transbaikalia Ugdan, which is located near the city of Chita, is being considered. Therapeutic sulfide mud of the lake has been known since the end of the 19th century and was used to treat diseases of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the nervous system, and gynecological diseases. There was even a summer resort of all-Union significance on the shore of the lake. Due to mismanagement, the resort was closed in 1997, and the lake began to degrade until it completely dried up in 2003. However, from the remaining shores, they continue to extract therapeutic mud to this day. The object of the study is the lake Ugdan. The subject of the study is the revival of the medical institution. The purpose of the study is to substantiate a possibility of the mud cure clinic revival located at the lake Ugdan. This priceless gift of Nature called for a revival for a long time, but to no avail. The lake Ugdan and its therapeutic mud can and should be revived, for which a not very complex network of hydraulic structures (pipelines) is proposed with the transfer of flood waters both from the Shilnikov stream, which previously has flowed into the lake, and the construction of pipelines from the river Chita with the option of using the lake Kamyshinskoye as a reservoir. Such structures can significantly reduce the riot of flood waters, which often flooded the coastal zone of the river Chita. Sometimes the wishes of "well-wishers" to fill up the lake (that is, to bury the priceless gift of Nature) and build an autodrome here or erect any other structures should be attributed to absurd
