Abstract
An assessment of the ecological state of the small river basin Alma of the Republic of Crimea has been carried out. Due to intensive nature management in the 20th century, the primary natural environment was transformed into a natural-engineering system (NES). The critical components of the NES are the lowland sector and surface waters basin. The flat sector turned into an agricultural landscape with a low coefficient of natural protection, it needs transformation based on landscape planning. Runoff the Alma River is almost completely regulated by reservoirs and ponds, as a result of which the channel is deprived of water for most of the year. It is proposed to restore the natural flow of the river by redistributing the reserves of the Partizansky reservoir and establishing Western European water consumption standards for Simferopol.
Highlights
There are 2.5 million small rivers in Russia, they form almost half of the total river flow, about 45% of the urban dwellers live in their basins
On the basis of a long-term and comprehensive survey of the natural and technical systems of the Alma river basin (Republic of Crimea), the authors have come to the following conclusions
The critical components of the natural-engineering system (NES) of the Alma river basin are the following: 1) a plain landscape with primary steppe communities, represented by an agricultural landscape with an agricultural functional type of anthropogenic load; 2) water surface, the bulk of which is accumulated in the Partizanskoe reservoir and is used outside the basin
Summary
There are 2.5 million small rivers in Russia, they form almost half of the total river flow, about 45% of the urban dwellers live in their basins. The object of the study is the second critical component of the natural environment of the Alma river basin are surface waters [6].
