Assessment of the recreational attractiveness of reservoirs according to urbanized territories of the south-west of Belarus based on hydromorphological parameters
Abstract
The results of a study of hydromorphological indicators of urban reservoirs are presented in the article. Typification was carried out and characteristic features inherent in the reservoirs of urbanized areas of south-west Belarus were identified. Based on the characteristics of hydromorphological indicators of urban reservoirs and their catchments (the origin of the reservoir, the nature of the location, the nature of water exchange, the type of pits, the type of bank slope, the average annual fluctuation in water level, the length of the strip of natural coastal vegetation, the nature of the catchment area, maximum length, maximum width, square of water mirrors, bankline length, maximum depth, average depth, degree of bankline development, elongation factor, lithological composition of the soil of the coast and shallow water, as well as the possibility of use in contact and non-contact types of recreation the recreational attractiveness of reservoirs in urbanized areas was assessed using the indicators we developed – the level of recreational significance and the level of anthropogenic transformation. It has been determined that almost all reservoirs of urbanized areas in the south-west of Belarus are characterized by an average or low level of recreational significance. 66.7 % of the studied reservoirs are characterized by an unfavorable indicator of the safety reservoirs used for recreation, sports and tourism. It is shown that urban reservoirs in the southwest of Belarus are characterized by different levels of anthropogenic transformation. It has been established that reservoirs in urbanized areas are characterized by a low indicator of recreational attractiveness.
