Historical
steps of geoecological situation of Nura River Basin
Anthropogenic
factors are usually related to the side effects of interaction between society
and the natural environment. Most often they appear as random, one-time impacts
on the natural environment and geosystems accompanying purposeful human
activities. These effects may be in the nature of intentional (planned,
expected impacts) and unintended (unexpected consequences) impact on geosystems
[1]. Anthropogenic factors are caused by various forms of human influences on
the individual components of the environment in general and geosystems. They
cover the processes occurring in the course of direct human impacts on the
environment or indirectly owe their origin technogenesis. For quantitative and
qualitative characteristics of anthropogenic factors using the concept of
anthropogenic load. It characterizes the amount of direct or indirect
anthropogenic impacts on the environment.
Human
impact on the natural environment r.Nura pool can be associated with its
industrial development. All studies were conducted in the basin left behind a
certain environmental effects. In this connection, geo-environmental situation
can be considered at different stages: 1) pre-industrial stage, 2) stage of
industrial development, and 3) stage of agricultural development of the basin,
and 4) the current stage of basin formation. Each stage in the formation of
geo-ecological situations and gives characterizes a certain picture of
development of territories. Each stage reflected recognize the signs
anthropogenes-hydrogeological work (drilling, exploration), hydraulic
engineering, exploration of mineral deposits, construction of dams, urban
planning, etc. Degree of manifestation of symptoms in the pool anthropogenes
r.Nura with each step increases, which causes the tension level of geo-ecological
situations - from relatively fair to critical [2].
Pre-industrial stage (Paleolithic - 30th
of XX century). Archaeological sites indicate that the basin r.Nura including
neighborhoods Karaganda, back in the Paleolithic man lived. He was engaged in
hunting, fishing, gathering plant foods. In the Neolithic in the river basin.
Nura appear basics of agriculture. This is confirmed by archaeological
excavations settlement Suykbulak (Karkaralinsk) and the ancient irrigation
system .
Since
the late 40s. XIX century. 30 -ies. XX century. r.Nura the basin to form local
sources of environmental destabilization had Koyandinskaya Fair (Koyandinsko -
Botovskaya), which annually conducts auctions. It was located in the river
valley near the mouth of r.Taldy oz.Karasor 50 km from the village Koyandy. In
1916, near s.Romanovka already received the first information on the stock of
the Nura River. River basin studies. Nura started in the first five years of
the former Soviet Union, when the territory of Central Kazakhstan were built
industrial cities (Karaganda, Zhezkazgan , Balkhash, Shahtinsk etc.).
Analysis of the pre-industrial stage of development of
the region shows that economic activity began to have transformative impacts on
the environment. During this period there is a change in the geo-ecological
situations pool r.Nura from environmental well before the formation of local
sources environmental destabilization.
Stage of industrial development (30th. XX century. -50th . XX c.). During the
years of Soviet power Karaganda region and become one of the largest industrial
centers in Kazakhstan. For the successful formation of Karaganda region as an
industrial center and its water supply in the 30s and 40s. XX century. was
built from plumbing r.Nura (Samarkand reservoir). By the end of 33 -ies.
completed the construction of the Central power, began to build a hydroelectric
power station. In 1937 came to operation Karaganda cement plant which annually
produces 14 tons of cement. In the same years were commissioned mechanized
bakeries, brewery, dairy and other plants in Karaganda. Continued construction
of railways through Akmola to Karaganda.
In the early 30s of XX century. in connection with the
construction of several large industrial enterprises in Kazakhstan produced
hydrogeological studies I.I. Filimonov and D.N. Bourtsev. In the article
«Prospects reclamation in Central Kazakhstan» (1930) summarized the materials
reclamation expedition in Central Kazakhstan and former subdivisions district
land offices, who worked on the rivers Tokrau, Bakanas, Nura and Sarysu [3].
Observed the development of negative processes: salinity, flooding, wind and
water erosion, degradation of soils and vegetation. Issues of environmental
management were not implemented in a timely manner, due to weak administrative
control right from the relevant departments and organizations for nature
protection.
Stage
of agricultural development of the basin (50th XX century.-
80th gg. XX in). During these years, the need to expand the resource
base for industrial enterprises in the Southern Urals received significant
scale geological survey and exploration, as well as hydrogeological work in
areas designed and built railroads and mining. In the stage of agricultural
development pool r.Nura have been converted to crops virgin lands.
The
modern stage of development of the basin (90th. XX century - the present
state). The most important direction of research and studies in the 70s - 80s
of the XX century in Kazakhstan becomes hydrogeoecological with funds and
aero-space monitoring, the emergence of which is connected with the resolution
of water and environmental problems in the basin of the lake. Balkhash, the
Aral Sea, and later, in the 80s - 90s, mining areas, the Semipalatinsk nuclear
test site, the Caspian Sea, etc.
In 1997-98gg. studies have been
conducted on mercury pollution of the river Nura funded programs
Inco-Copernicus, Intas-Kazakhstan and the UK Foreign Office. New INTAS project
aimed at the study of microbiological processes, including the formation of
methyl mercury in sediments and floodplain soils of the Nura River, currently
coordinated by the Institute of Soil Ecology Nyuherberga (Germany) [4].
During field studies were evaluated scale mercury contamination of
surface and groundwater data floodplain sediments, soils and soil river valley.
Nura and Western industrial zone Temirtau. The same has been done surveying the
coast p. Nura bridge in Temirtau (1 km downstream of the dam Samarkand
reservoir) to the village. Rostovka (distance 25 km) - every 250 m in 1997-98.
studied the effect of external factors on the character of anthropogenic
mercury in slag r.Nura microbiological processes sulfate reduction and methylation.
The programs conducted study of mercury contamination r.Nura funded programs
Inco -Copernicus, INTAS Kazakhstan MFA UK.
In connection with the
acquisition of independence of Kazakhstan 's economy began to develop slowly,
as in market conditions appeared liability, closed and open society. Many
enterprises in the region have started to work on the basis of investment
income, the industry is also developing small and medium business (company
buying back foreign investors).
Analysis indicates that the mining
industry has become cause of the intensification of environmental problems in
the region. With the development of the mining industry and the chemical
industry having piles - mounds dumps. Heaps long time (since the start of
operation of a coal deposit and still) pollute the atmosphere, where the
ecological and economic damage is not taken into account.
