For the implementation of measures for the protection of land, it is necessary to
carry out construction (reconstruction) of approximately 535 anti-erosion
hydrotechnical structures, in particular, 128 run-off structures, 181 anti-erosion ponds,
and 198 structures of terracing slopes. In addition, it is necessary to ensure the
protection of land, in particular agricultural land, from erosion and other unfavorable
natural processes on a total area of 1.7 thousand hectares, extending 36.7 thousand
kilometers. Financing and conducting works on land protection is carried out extremely
slowly at the expense of the state and at the expense of local budgets.
In 2015, as compared to 1995, all indicators decreased: the length of ditches –
by 135.2 km; terraces – at 5.4 km; road rails – 15.8 km; anti-erosive ponds – at 177.0
km; the area of injection of highly degraded and contaminated with harmful substances
of arable land decreased by 12,6 thousand. hectares (Table 3).
