PRESENT SLOPE EROSION SHARE IN POLLUTION AND PURIFICATION OF SMALL RIVER BASINS

Annotation

In the present development of slopes due to their technologically state defines erodibility, pollution, as well as transit and accumulation of pollutants. Thus correct assessment of erosion hazard for lands is required. This work considers the interrelation of the present morphology of slopes and their erodibility, as well as its influence on the pollution of water objects. Numerical score of morphometric parameters of relief and intensity of erosion process depending on the slope were presented in the paper. The concepts of complex agro-ecological assessment and grouping of lands for their rational use have been reported. Technogeneous objects are the sources for either increasing or reducing erosion activity. Anthropogenic impact on slopes can be considered as an element of: 1) their natural evolution; 2) anthropogenic load on the environment. In the basins with minimal technogeneous impact, slope morphology defines transit of pollutants within permanent and temporary streams, and in some cases their accumulation. In the basins where the intensive economic activity occurs, artificially created morphology of slopes in urban territories can determine pollution in accumulation zones, as well as purification from pollutants in flush and transit zones.
Keywords: erodibility, pollution, water objects, technogeneous objects, small rivers, soil, land monitoring, ecosystem.
