In this article it is a question of need of safety of the rivers of the Crimea.
In the territory of the Crimea of 1657 rivers, streams and beams of the general long 5996 km. According to the Water Code of Ukraine (Art. 7) depending on the water modular area, the river share on big, average and small. The rivers having the area of a reservoir to two thousand sq.km, belong to the small.
In the territory of the Dzhankoysky area there are rivers and beams of the Flat Crimea. The river network here is presented, generally the beams which valleys aren’t clearly expressed. Density of a river network makes about 0,12 km/sq.km.
In total in the territory of the area it is located 11 small rivers and beams. These are the rivers: Guards, Green, Steel, Mirnovka, Steppe, Sivash, Istochnaya, Victorious, and also beams: Zavetleninsky, Vygonnaya, Virgin. The length of the rivers and beams fluctuates from seven to 23 km. Courses of these drains are used for collecting collector and drainage waters, the rivers and beams run into the Gulf Sivash Sea of Azov.
For the purpose of protection of superficial water objects from pollution and a contamination, preservations of their vodnost along the rivers and round reservoirs within water conservation zones allocate the land lots under coastal protective strips (PZP).
Coastal protective strips are established on either side of the rivers in width to 25 m and are the nature protection territory with a mode of limited economic activity.
Within existing settlements the coastal protective strip is established taking into account the developed specific conditions.
Along the seas and round sea gulfs and estuaries the coastal protective strip in width not less than two kilometers from ureza waters is allocated.
At PZP of the rivers and round reservoirs it is forbidden: raspashka of lands, gardening and truck farming; storage of fertilizers and pesticides; the device of camps for cattle; construction of constructions; sink of motor transport and other equipment; device of dumps of garbage, gnoexranilishh.
The objects being in a coastal protective strip, can be maintained, if its mode thus isn’t broken. Not suitable constructions for operation, and also what don’t answer the established modes of managing, are subject to removal from coastal protective strips.
Today in the territory of the Dzhankoysky area in nature coastal protective strips neither on one river, nor on one reservoir aren’t taken out.
Violations of requirements of the water legislation are observed everywhere. So, for 2005 and 4 months 2006 the control service of Dzhankoysky UVH revealed 40 cases of violations of a water security mode on lands of water fund. The most pitiable condition on observance of requirements of the water legislation established by articles 87, 88, 89 of the Water Code of Ukraine, is observed in the territory of Chaykinsky, Maslovsky, Mirnovsky village councils.
Therefore the Order of the chairman of the board of ministers of AR Crimea from 14.03.2006 of No. 01-01/718 for the purpose of ensuring observance of requirements of the water legislation established by articles 87, 88, 89 VKU is actual and timely.
Heads of regional authorities need to treat with all gravity this problem and to initiate decisions on ensuring removal in nature of coastal protective strips along the rivers and round reservoirs. After all to purity of our rivers purity of the Lake Sivash and the Sea of Azov, and health of our citizens depends.
