CURRENT ISSUES OF FIRE RISK TERRITORIES OF WEST MESCHERA

Abstract

Meschera is an outwash sandy plain. Due
to the glaciers in the north of the region Meschera has
accumulated waters. Today the only source of water on the
territory is precipitation. The fi rst level of subsoil waters,
because of the 20th century meliorating processes, had
gone to the irrigational canals or dried up. Today dry peat is
burning. Its thickness is nearly forming from 6 to 8 meters.
We must fi nd some other methods, besides the Meschera
waters, to put out fi res. This could be loamy soils, for
example.
