Characteristics of the Depression Decreases on the Reclaimed Areas under the Conditions of Hilly-Starved Relief

Abstract

As a result of the analysis and processing of decrease characteristics, revealed at the inspected reclaimed objects at the farms of the Glubokoye region, Vitebsk province, with the use of the principles of the decrease typification developed earlier by the authors, 10 types of decreases were marked out on the reclaimed mineral lands with hilly-starved relief; their parameters and description features are given. The differences between the types of decreases are determined by the specific features of the relief, hydrogeological and soil formation conditions, that are reflected on morphometric characteristics, specific features of water relationships and capabilities of agricultural utilization. The typification made will serve as the basis for development of additional decrease drainage techniques on the reclaimed mineral lands.
