GEOECOLOGICAL FEATURES OF HYDROLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF ESTUARIES OF THE TAMAN PENINSULA

Hydrological systems of errans are an integral part of the ecology of water resources of the Taman Peninsula. The Taman system of estuaries is an ecological system of lagoon and floodmlain reservoirs of the Krasnodar Territory, located on the peninsula of the same name and unites more than a hundred reservoirs. The total area of ecological systems is about 390 km², the depth of the hydrological system is from 0.5 to 2.5 m. Taman estuary, over the years, gradually sile up and shallow, which is due to the vegetation dying in them and the solid flow of the Kuban. Among the Azov-Kuban estuaries there are fresh, brackish and salty reservoirs. Ecological classifications of estuaries are considered: by bottom sediments and by type of nutrition of the Kuban River. The formation of ecological systems of the lymanas of the Kuban was carried out in natural geological conditions and with the help of anthropogenic influence, through the construction of canals. Estuaries are strategic facilities whose waters are used for drinking water supply, irrigation of fields, orchards and vineyards. Water resources are fed by fresh waters of the Kuban River, as well as salt waters of the Azov and Black Seas, coming through the sea basins. Taman estuary are ecologically favorable for fish breeding and growth of the eastern lotus.
