Utilization of lands with high water tables in the vicinity of hydroelectric station reservoirs

Abstract

1. All necessary prerequisites are present for the normal and even intensive use of high water-table lands. 2. In regions where reservoirs are being created preparation of the high water-table lands for normal use must be included in the plan of State undertakings, which will permit preserving and using the wealth of natural fertility, strenghthening the fodder base of animal husbandry, and avoiding loss of forest resources. 3. It is necessary to eliminate the practice of using high water-table lands as pastures, since grazing on excessively wet lands is inadmissible.
