Features of land inventory in water protection zones of small rivers of the Oryol region

Abstract

The paper considers aspects of land inventory in the territories adjacent to water bodies. The object of the study is the land resources of the Oryol region, the territory of water protection zones and coastal protection belts of 28 small rivers of the Oryol region, which need environmental rehabilitation due to prolonged anthropogenic pollution. The need for water protection zones and coastal protection belts on the basis of a thorough land inventory was justified. The land inventory of water protection zones significantly differs from other types of inventory due to the fact that the boundaries of water protection zones may include lands of various categories, types of property, they may belong to different owners. The paper gives suggestions on the sequence of land management measures in these cases. As a result of the study, the paper presents the analysis of the performed land inventory, which forms the basis of the working project on the formation of water protection zones and coastal protection belts of small rivers of the Oryol region. On the basis of the completed land inventory for the Lipovets River, the need for restrictions on human economic activity in water protection zones and coastal protection belts was determined in the following cases: placement of cemeteries, implementation of aviation measures to combat harmful organisms and placement of specialized storage facilities for pesticides and agrochemicals by agricultural enterprises, placement of gas stations, fuel and lubricant warehouses, maintenance stations on roads, discharge of sewage, including drainage water from residential buildings. This experience may be used in practice of regional land administration bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
