ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF SOIL EROSION IN THE EMBULATOVKA RIVER BASIN ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF RECREATIONAL CONDITIONS OF THE NATURAL RESOURCE STATE OF THE WEST KAZAKHSTAN REGION
Abstract
The article analyzes the impact of soil erosion in the Embulatovka River basin on the development of recreational conditions of the natural resource state of the West Kazakhstan region. The purpose of the work is to determine the process of washing out the soil of the river basin of the Embulatovka River for different types of agricultural land. The analysis of soil erosion in the Embulatovka River basin can serve as a basis for identifying and changing factors that negatively affect soil erosion, which will increase soil fertility and increase crop yields and the availability of livestock feed. The following data were used for the determination of the soil wash of the Embulatovka River basin: erosion potential of sediments, soil type, mechanical composition, steepness of slopes, vegetation, types of plowing. As a result of the study of the soil, an average washing of the soil in the Embulatovka River basin was determined for each landfill. After analyzing the map of the agricultural lands of the study area, we concluded that pastures occupy 27% of the land, arable land (38%), forest (8%), haymaking (4%), populated areas (0.50%), orchards (0, 50%), reservoir (0.50%), clean pastures (8%). If you pay attention to the average loss of soil, you can see the largest number of them fall on arable land-4,22 tons, the reservoir is 2,3 tons, the gardens- 0,22, haymaking-0,08, pasture0,05. Analyzing the results of calculations, we can say that about 90% of the losses occur on the treated soil. The results obtained can be used as a basis for the development of soil conservation plans for specific sites in order to promote sustainable land management practices, since land resources are the basis for the placement of recreational facilities and are important in the recreational sector.
