Scientific substantiation and development of water protection zones projects for water bodies of cities in the context of water resources management (on the example of Minsk)
Abstract
The article considers questions of scientific substantiation of organization of water protection zones of water bodies of urban systems. Methodical approaches of scientific substantiation of water protection zones projects are reflected and the results of development of water protection zones of water objects are presented on the example of Minsk. Based on the results of analysis of geological structure, soil-geomorphological and hydrogeological conditions, nature of landscaping of the territory, features of urban development, functional use of the territory, as well as engineering infrastructure and assessment of anthropogenic stress on water systems are calculated the main parameters of water protection zones of water bodies. Potential sources of pollution of water bodies within the boundaries of water protection zones have been identified, and preventive measures to improve the area adjacent to the water body have been proposed, aimed at managing water quality and preventing pollution of surface waters.
