They say that something incredible is happening with the weather this year. Almost one after the other Krasnodar Territory There are two major floods that have claimed human lives. .

Consequences of flooding in Divnomorskoye

However, floods are not uncommon here. Mountains are mountains. And small floods, mudflows for the coast of the Krasnodar Territory are a common thing. But if we remember only the most major floods over the past twenty years, there were quite a few of them.

Chronology of floods in the Krasnodar Territory

(1991-2011)

August 1991 In the Tuapse region, 27 people died from the elements. Khadyzhensk was flooded, bridges across the rivers were washed away.

January 2002. She left the banks of the Kuban, evacuated about 3,000 residents of Temryuk and the surrounding area. 830 houses were in the flood zone. There were no casualties.

June 2002 Because of the downpours, the Kuban, Laba, Belaya, Urup and others overflowed their banks. The cities of Armavir and Labinsk and several districts suffered: Otradnensky, Mostovskoy, Apsheronsky, Uspensky, Novokubansky, Gulkevichsky, Seversky.

9 flood victims (8 dead and 1 missing).

August 2002 Before the tragedy that occurred in Krymsk almost ten years later, this flood was considered the worst.

Novorossiysk and Krymsk, nearby villages suffered. Houses were flooded in the settlements of Tsemdolina, Verkhnebakansky, Yuzhnaya Ozereyka, Vasilyevka, Glebovka and Abrau-Dyurso. There are about 8,000 residential buildings in total.

The tornado destroyed the dam at the Vladimir reservoir.

Was washed away by mudflows Railway near Sochi, where 45 trains were blocked. Rockfalls hit the highways, blocking the message.

62 people died.

October 2010 30 settlements were affected, mainly in the Tuapse, Apsheron districts and the vicinity of Sochi. Among them are the villages of Anastasievka, Kirpichny, Dederkoy, Dzhubga, the village of Krivenkovskoye, and the Goyth farm. Nearly 2,000 houses were flooded. 17 people died.

November 2010 Flooding in Tuapse and Apsheron regions. In Tuapse, 3 villages were flooded: Gorny, Shaumyana, Nebug, about 40 houses. The water in the village of Shahumyan rose in the houses to almost a meter. There were no victims.

December 2010 On December 14, there was a rather large flood in Tuapse, the streets were flooded. There were no casualties.

May2011. More than 10,000 people were affected by the rains in five districts: Absheronsky, Labinsk, Kurganinsky, Mostovsky and Belorechensky. 321 houses were flooded. There were no casualties.

Floods in the Krasnodar Territory in 2012

July 7, 2012. Most terrible flood in the Krasnodar Territory not only this summer, but for all years. On the night of July 7, showers hit the coastal strip. The revelry of the elements only in Krymsk claimed 159 human lives.

Not only Krymsk was affected, but also other settlements: Nizhnebakanskaya, Neberdzhaevskaya, Novorossiysk, Kabardinka, Divnomorskoye. But Krymsk suffered the most damage. About 12,000 houses were flooded there.

In total, more than 170 people died during this flood.

For a long time, the news from the flood area was more like a horror movie than the real harsh Russian reality.

Everyone says that similar floods have happened in the region before. But then why weren't they ready for it?

August 12, 2012. Due to tornadoes near Sochi, in the Lazarevsky district, the Psezuapse River overflowed its banks. The reason for this was a tornado. The water on the streets of the village of Kirov rose to a height of up to a meter, the GAZelle car was carried away by the stream. There were no casualties.

August 22, 2012. On the night of August 22, 2012, a flood occurred in the Tuapse region. Three settlements were affected: Novomikhailovsky, Tenginka and Lermontovo (the last two were insignificant).

The water level in Novomikhailovsky rose to 2.5 meters. More than 800 buildings were flooded.

Four people became victims of the August flood in 2010: a 22-year-old Muscovite, a 44-year-old resident of St. Petersburg, a 46-year-old resident of Krasnodar and an 84-year-old local resident.

Are new floods expected in the Krasnodar Territory?

Judging by the forecasts of weather forecasters, the elements may again fall on the Krasnodar Territory in the near future.

According to the Zhivaya Kuban website, showers and tornadoes are predicted in Sochi from August 29 to September 1 this year. That is, floods may begin again tomorrow. A rise in water in the rivers from Dzhubga itself to Adler is possible, flooding of the lowlands. There is a risk mudflows near Krasnaya Polyana...

But the most fertile time for a holiday on the Black Sea begins. The so-called velvet season, when the sun is no longer as hot as in summer. And the water is still warm.

Only facts. On April 1, 2011, at a meeting of the Commission for Emergency Situations of the Krasnodar Territory, heads of regulatory agencies and law enforcement. The heads of cities and districts of the region also took part in the meeting by intercom.

It was stated that "the region is almost 100% ready for possible flooding." The head of the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Alexander Kazlikin, reported that “flooding models have been developed, evacuation routes have been identified, and warning of the population about the threat, including via SMS messages, has been organized.”

Last year, about 1 billion rubles were allocated for flood protection in the Krasnodar Territory.

In preparing the publication, materials from the sites www.yuga.ru, www.livekuban.ru, photos from the Travel Diary site and own information were used.

This year I have already twice traveled to the Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar Territory. And, apparently, there were no fewer vacationers.

Are you afraid of floods in the Krasnodar Territory? Are you planning your holidays in this region?

as the greats said: if you want peace, prepare for war.
and do not think that this article is panicky, this is just an informative review ..
4th of July!!! 2012 MK in the Kuban wrote.

The situation that has developed at the Krasnodar reservoir in last years, the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, Sergei Shoigu, called it very disturbing. For 25 years, the dam did not know what a major overhaul was. The work on the reservoir is more of a purely emergency nature: where it leaked, they patched it up. Currently, the reservoir, more precisely, its banks, are in critical condition. Especially a segment of one and a half kilometers, where the gaps in the concrete body of the bank protection reach from 20 cm to 50 cm.

According to Anatoly Chibisov, director of the Krasnodar Reservoir Federal State Institution, over these 25 years, 12 floods have been prevented and thousands of hectares of land have been avoided. Nevertheless, the Russian Emergencies Ministry recognized the Kuban reservoir dangerous object, and now it is under constant control. One of the sad facts is that the dam of the Kuban Sea can only withstand an earthquake with a force of 4-5 points. In the event of stronger shocks, most of Krasnodar will be under water.

In the same time,



according to Krasnodar residents, the population will not be told the real situation at the reservoir until the last, because we usually live like this - we wait, maybe it will blow over.

According to experts, a small earthquake with a power of only 5 to 7 points on the Mercalli scale is enough to start a disaster, as a result of which a crack will form in the central part of the dam opposite the village of Tugurgoy (in Adygea). Water pouring into this fault will destroy the dam in 2-3 minutes. When the dam collapses, the force shock wave in a matter of minutes, it will wash away the villages and villages: Tugurgoy, Tlyustenkhabl, Shenjiy, Takhtamukay, Prikubansky, Enem, Kozet, Novo-Adygeysk, Starobzhegokai, Afipsky with a gasoline plant, Novy, Afipsip, New Adygea, etc. From the central and northern parts of the dam water will fall on Krasnodar.

In addition to residential areas, a hydrolysis plant, an oil and fat plant, an oil refinery, the Krasnodar-1 railway station, oil depots, oil and chemical products, hundreds of gas stations, thousands of cars will be washed away. Collapsed high-voltage pylons, flared oil products, gas, toxic substances will increase the number of deaths of residents of the Kuban. And the poisonous wave, growing, will wash away with. Lvovskoe, Oktyabrsky settlement, st. Ivanovskaya, Maryanskaya, Novomyshastovskaya, Sverdlovskoye, Fedorovskaya, Varnavinskoye, Merchanskoye, Olginskaya, the northern part of the village of Akhtyrsky, Abinsk, Krymsk and from it with a wide blade up to the village of Adagum to Primorsko-Akhtarsk will deal with all the villages, farms, villages, cities of Slavyansk -on-Kuban, Temryuk, washing away, burning and infecting people, land, its water, including the Taman Peninsula. In addition, over the years of operation of the Krasnodar reservoir, commissions different levels it was found that it has a negative impact on vast adjacent territories - fields are flooded, sources of water supply are polluted, there was a rise in the level of groundwater from 0.5 to 5 meters. On more than 17,000 hectares of farmland, tillage and harvesting are difficult. Ground and underground waters have a negative impact on the condition of residential buildings, outbuildings and public buildings - basements are flooded, foundations and roads are destroyed. Moreover, due to poor security ground water easily contaminated. The water in the wells does not match regulatory requirements according to chemical and bacteriological indicators.

In the early 1990s, on issues related to negative influence of the Krasnodar reservoir, a lot of normative documents. including the federal target program"Protection and improvement of settlements and agricultural lands of the Republic of Adygea affected by the destructive impact of the Krasnodar reservoir". However, the main activities were completed only by 5-6%. The poor implementation of the program led to sharp deterioration situation in the zone of influence of the Krasnodar reservoir.

One thing is clear: the Krasnodar reservoir urgently needs help. Otherwise, the situation threatens to turn into a man-made disaster.

and here are sketches on the theme of the flood:
AUTHORSHIP
Previous post in a series of apocalyptic fantasies aboutearthquake in Krasnodar still in the TOP of the blog in terms of views. So, I think this extrapolation will also be to everyone's taste. Today Krasnodar is trying on a flood (painful) ...

Yes! You guessed! Now tales will begin about the Krasnodar reservoir and the global flood. No matter how much the information about the imminent break of the dam of the Krasnodar Sea is refuted and no matter how many times it protects the city from spring floods, the attitude of the townspeople towards the reservoir will always be wary. Today I will amuse your prejudices and try to show possible scenario floods in Krasnodar (with pictures made by me)

1. May-beginning of June. During this period, snowmelt intensifies in the Caucasus, and in the Kuban, private thunderstorms with showers begin. At the end of May, cities in the Middle Kuban are flooded, part of the flood water rushes into the Krasnodar reservoir.

2. The beginning of June. While the discharge of water was normal (862 cubic meters per second). Gradually, the discharge increases and reaches 1250 cubic meters per second. The Krasnodar reservoir continues to operate normally, however, the flood control tank (created to retain excess river runoff) is almost completely filled (1 billion cubic meters of water). The water level in the Kuban River, where the reservoir discharges, rises: some low-lying areas in the floodplain of the river occasionally go under water (garden associations in the Kuban district of Krasnodar, Kubanskaya Embankment).

3. June. Day X In a short period of time, the water level in the reservoir rises to 35.23 meters. This is the so-called FPU (forcing horizon). All rescue services have already switched to high alert mode (we are considering perfect option), the preparation of evacuation points is being completed. Every second, the maximum possible amount of water is discharged into the Kuban. Farmland is flooding. Governments and rescue teams with equipment are mobilized.

4. Day X. 18:00. The 11-kilometer earthen dam of the reservoir cannot withstand the pressure and is collapsing. A shaft of water 9-12 meters high is formed. The first blow is taken by the M4 "Don" highway, the villages of Adygeya Tugurgoy, Tlyustenkhabl, Shenjiy, the base of the Krasnodar football club.

5. 18:09. A breakthrough wave floods the quarters of the Gidrostroiteley microdistrict . Unlike a normal wave (with crest and depression), the breakthrough wave does not have a depression, therefore, after the shaft passes, the water level will not fall ( tail waves). The absence of large wooded areas in the floodplain of the Kuban in the region of Krasnodar will contribute to the conservation high speed propagation of a breakthrough wave.

6. 18:16. The shaft of water reaches Solnechny Island, the Kuban merges with the lake Staraya Kuban (the old river bed). Possible occurrence emergency at the CHP. The beginning of a partial evacuation creates panic in the city. There are congestion and traffic jams on the evacuation routes.

7. 18:34. The breakthrough wave reaches the village of Takhtamukay and the Oktyabrsky reservoir in Adygea.

8. 18:45. Are flooded southern regions Krasnodar: City Center and Zavod im. Gray hair. The railway infrastructure (Krasnodar-Novorossiysk direction) and the Yablonovsky bridge are damaged. Bus station "Yuzhny" and Train Station. Several large industrial enterprises cities, tanks with flammable and combustible liquids. The wave carries tons of chemicals and oil products further.

The main flow of water goes to Adygea (Enem, Yablonovsky village). Afipsky oil refinery is damaged.

9. ▼ ▲ 19:07. Fires start in the southern part of Krasnodar. Poisonous water comes to the area of ​​the Kuban Embankment, the Park of the 30th Anniversary of the Victory is flooded. The quarters of the Old Center are hidden under water.

10. 19:30. The wave front reaches its extreme western point Krasnodar. Next, the water goes to Taman Peninsula. All floodplain lands of the Lower Kuban with the cities of Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Temryuk and countless small settlements are infected. After 10 hours, the waters of the Krasnodar Sea enter the waters of the Sea of ​​Azov.

Among possible consequences this hypothetical flood - thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of victims, damage to buildings, bridges, roads, gas and electrical communications, fires. The land in the lower reaches of the Kuban will be unsuitable for cultivation for several years after the disaster. Draining flooded urban areas and rebuilding infrastructure could take more than a year.

However, a flood of this magnitude is unlikely. The break of the dam of the Krasnodar reservoir is classified as "practically improbable" events (according to the classification of the probability of occurrence of risks). And even this miserable risk is more than covered by the Krasnodar Sea, saving the city on average every 5 years from strong spring floods.

In Krasnodar liquidate the consequences of the flood

Heavy rains and floods hit the Kuban. Hundreds of houses were flooded, all the forces of public utilities were thrown to pump out water. Regime introduced in Bryukhovetsky district emergency.

Rains fill Krasnodar: last night in three hours more than the monthly norm of precipitation fell - 82 mm. Storm sewers could not cope with such volumes, as a result, the city was flooded. Judging by the pictures of eyewitnesses, cars went under water up to the roof, traffic jams formed on the roads. Trams and trolleybuses stopped, there were blackouts in several neighborhoods. A map of flooded streets appeared on the Internet - practically not a single dry one.

One person became a victim of the disaster. At the intersection of Krasnaya and Severnaya streets in the center of Krasnodar, a 17-year-old boy was electrocuted as he forded a flooded street. Investigators are now investigating how this happened. It is reported that they tried to save the young man, but to no avail.

“There is so much sea in the Krasnodar Territory that it has expanded its borders up to Krasnodar. Now the sea has become closer,” the townspeople joke sadly.

“First major flood this year. Krasnodar residents run to save cars, take places higher. Experts are already predicting the appearance of posts in social networks with found license plates. There was no stormwater in the city, and there is no, ”the residents report.

The situation in the region is still difficult. The Unified Duty Dispatching Service of Krasnodar reports that work is underway to eliminate the consequences of the flood. “Water-pumping equipment was immediately put into operation, 14 emergency teams of resource-supplying enterprises of the city were involved in restoring electricity,” they said.

Weather forecasts are disappointing, they again promise showers with thunderstorms, hail and squally winds. According to the local Ministry of Emergency Situations, on small rivers and watercourses of the Kuban River basin in the southeastern territory of the Krasnodar Territory, a rise in water level is possible.

Meanwhile, in Dagestan, heavy rainfall provoked the descent of mudflows from the mountains. They damaged the gas pipeline, power transmission poles, two road bridge, one of which was completely washed away, touched a couple of houses, outbuildings and a first-aid post. No casualties have been reported.

It is worth noting that the countries of Europe are also suffering from the elements. So, in France, heavy rains also caused floods. In a number of cities, the water level on the streets reaches one and a half and even two meters. In Paris, authorities have raised the alert level to yellow. There, the water level in the Seine increased significantly and reached 4.37 m, which caused the introduction of restrictions on navigation along the river.

Floods across the Île-de-France region disrupted operations public transport, including regional trains. The French railway company SNCF hopes that "normal train traffic" will be fully restored by Monday. It is reported that in the area locality Soup-sur-Loing French rescuers found the body of an 86-year-old woman in a flooded house.

In addition, one of the historical sites of France, Chambord Castle, located in the Loire Valley, was flooded.

On the this moment in France, about 10 thousand houses remain without electricity. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country, more than 5.5 thousand people were evacuated. Expected soon new wave rain.

Meanwhile, the consequences of floods are being eliminated in the southeast of Germany in administrative district Lower Bavaria, an emergency alert has been declared in the region.

7 people became victims of the disaster. At first, three residents of Simbach am Inn were considered missing, but on Wednesday evening their bodies were found in a flooded residential building. No other dead or missing citizens were reported, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper writes.

Water poured into the Kuban on Saturday night, when no one was waiting. First, a heavy downpour hit the cities and towns. During the day in the Tuapse region, the monthly norm of precipitation fell. The hurricane wind bent the trees like grass. The small rivers of Pshenakh and Tuapsinka instantly turned into raging streams. 24 settlements and villages were under water. The raging elements threw cars onto roofs and trees. 916 residential buildings and 45,000 people were in the disaster zone. In the Tuapse region, 1378 people were left homeless, in the Apsheron region - 55. 14 people died, 9 more were missing.

Such a large number of The authorities explain the victims by the fact that the elements hit unexpectedly. People simply did not manage to find their way in time, run away from home, climb into an attic or a tree.

We were watching TV at home, when we suddenly heard a terrible crack and roar, - Anna Ponyataya, a resident of the village of Shepsi, recalls with a shudder. - We jumped out into the street, we look - a two-century-old poplar collapsed onto the roof and broke through huge hole. While discussing with neighbors which services to call, we noticed that there was a stream of water running down the street. And every minute more and more. We decided to climb to the upper floors and wait out the elements there. If the tree had not fallen, it is not known how the matter would have ended.

What a grief - a neighbor barely holds back tears deceased family from the village of Kirpichnoye. - When they saw what was happening on the street, they started shouting, trying to warn everyone that a wave was coming. But no one responded to the Lamovskys. We both knocked and shone with a flashlight. And then came the flood, which just demolished their house. It turned out that all four - Nina with her husband and their two children - were fast asleep.

And I was lucky, - Marina cries from the horror experienced. - I was driving a car, I feel - it carries it. I really floated, like on a boat. She jumped out of the car, although she remained alive.

With me, several people climbed trees, called for help, and then everything was quiet. I couldn't see what was going on in the dark. I only hoped that the water would not reach the second floor, because I can’t swim, ”says Maria, a resident of the village of Kirpichnoe. - Then I found a friend in the crowd - he sat for several hours on an old chestnut tree in the yard. If they had known in advance, at least they would have told their relatives and friends, maybe they would have saved someone ...

However, the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations claims that it warned the people about a possible disaster.

We sent out SMS, notified people on radio and television, offered to evacuate, the rescuers say. - In cities and towns were required to take action. When they saw that the water was rising and already posing a threat, they organized points where people could hide. But, as always happens in such cases, many ignored the warnings.

Storm warnings come almost every week. What are we to throw at home every time? - Valeria, a resident of Tuapse, gets excited. - Look, - the girl opens the website of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Krasnodar Territory, - the forecast for May: floods on the Kuban and Mzymta rivers. In June - thunderstorms, hail, due to melting snow in the mountains - an increase in the water content of the Kuban River and landslides. July - tornadoes, floods. August, September - both low water (the period when the water level in the rivers is lowered. - Approx. ed.), And floods. In October, November December again floods, landslides. We cannot sit around the clock like on a powder keg. Yes, on October 15, an emergency warning was posted: emergency situations are possible due to heavy rains. But let's be honest: does anyone visit the websites of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the traffic police unnecessarily? It was necessary to ring all the bells, since they already knew about the danger.

In the neighboring region - Absheron - there is a lot of destruction: 9 bridges were broken, an unfair number of roads, the water rose by one and a half meters. However, no one was hurt. Here, local residents were notified and evacuated in time.

We went around every yard, warned the people over the speakerphone, - said the assistant to the head of the district Evgeny Parshin. - People at night and early in the morning left their homes, moved to recreation centers and sanatoriums. Almost all of them have already returned to their homes.

Now work on the elimination of the consequences of the disaster is underway full swing. The streets are cleared of branches and silt, traffic railway transport completely restored, and on highways the passage is facilitated. Warm clothes and dry clothes are delivered to the scene of the tragedy. And so that the property abandoned by the residents is not plundered by looters, patrolling the streets by the police is organized.

All flood victims will receive financial compensation. The Governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Tkachev, signed a decree according to which every resident of the Tuapse District affected by the disaster will receive 10,000 rubles in benefits. total amount payments - 48 million 100 thousand rubles. Passports damaged during the flood will be exchanged for people without a queue.

In addition, officials promised to pay for the funeral of the dead. 50 thousand rubles for each person.

The authorities of the Krasnodar Territory continue to calculate the damage from river floods. According to preliminary data, the amount will be in the hundreds of millions of rubles.

Now the prosecutor's office is conducting an audit to find out who is to blame for the deaths: the Ministry of Emergency Situations, which reported the danger late, or local authorities who did not accept necessary measures.

CALL TO "HOT LINE"

"Flee from panic"

In these difficult days on the phone " hotline”Hundreds of Kuban people called - ask for help, ask for advice, just cry into the phone after the horror experienced.

We asked ourselves: “Do they really help there?” and immediately dialed the number of the regional department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

An elderly aunt lives in my risk zone, who is very worried that her house would not be swept away by water. What can be done to get her out of this state?

Let him leave from there.

- But she does not want to leave the house unattended, like many neighbors ...

Then let him ask someone young to replace her at the “post”.

- Or maybe just give her valerian or validol?

Better call a doctor. What is your name and what is your aunt's name?

- What do you want?

Well, we must keep statistics of citizens' appeals.

Even greater disappointment awaited me at the "hot line" of the Russian Emergencies Ministry. At the emergency center psychological help we were redirected to press service, and there they offered to write a letter - a request for a consultation with a psychologist. Link to the fact that there is a state of emergency in the Kuban and we are calling allegedly operational structure, had no effect.

We sympathize with your plight, but that's the order in the ministry.

We have great respect for people who, risking their lives, rush to our aid. But such “trifles” in the system of salvation are revealed precisely in extreme situation. Krasnodar region - continuous zone risk: if we are not threatened by floods, then fires or earthquakes. If you didn’t manage to save yourself from trouble, you want to at least help the victims to recover. Probably, this is also worth paying attention to.

COMMENTARY OF THE SPECIALIST

“If the Krasnodar reservoir bursts its banks, victims cannot be avoided”

Experts say that this flood is just the first sign.

The reservoirs of Adygea - Oktyabrskoye and Shapsugskoye, the protective dam of the Kots, Laba rivers, the dam of the left bank of the Belaya and the Krasnodar reservoir itself are in a terrible state. 121 sections of the barrier system of the Kuban River are on the verge of destruction. But these protective dams and earth ramparts do not allow water to overflow the banks during floods and floods. For example, the Shapsug reservoir can flood almost 600 hectares, where about 500 thousand people live.

Recall that in 2002, flooded rivers flooded several regions of the Kuban. Due to heavy rains, the reservoir could not cope with the flow, the authorities had to analyze the consequences for a long time and local residents. Where is the guarantee that such a catastrophe will not happen again and that the 125 orphan hydraulic structures existing in the region will not lead to the death of people?

We cannot give such a guarantee, - says Sergey Asadov, deputy head of the North Caucasian Interregional Department for Technological and Environmental Supervision of Rostekhnadzor. But still, a catastrophe is unlikely. However, the Krasnodar architect Alexander Zholtikov does not agree with him.

If heavy downpours hit the edge, the Kuban reservoir could burst its banks and destroy the dam that holds the water pressure, he said. - After all, in winter, water enters it in an average volume of 1200 - 1400 cubic meters per second, and at some moments - up to 1800 cubic meters / s. Although the calculation of discharge from the sea is for 1000 cubic meters. So far, the reservoir protects dozens of districts from floods. Under his protection is 600 thousand hectares of land, where about 400 thousand people live. But if suddenly something happens, first of all it will flood Gidrostroy, some villages of Adygea and southern part cities. The water will not go for an hour or two, but much more, demolishing everything in its path. But to avoid this, it is necessary to properly strengthen the dam. And most importantly - to clean the Kuban Sea from silt. After all, the niche of the reservoir is filled and continues to be filled with infertile silt. Beautiful black soil goes forever into the swamp, destroying fish stocks.

If you do not take the necessary measures, at any moment a terrible thing can happen. Tens of thousands of people can become victims of water. But where to put the sludge, no one knows. I have developed an author's project and propose to use this infertile layer as a fortification. It can be laid out in the place where the main pressure dam is, at a distance of 11 kilometers and a width of at least one hundred meters. This will be a reliable protection against floods and terrorist attacks. In addition, new territories may appear here, where it will be possible to build housing, sports complexes, and so on. But so far my project has not been heard by the regional administration.

If you remove garbage, waste, dirt and silt, then throughput rivers will rise and the danger of the strongest floods will pass, - the chief forecaster of the region Yuri Tkachenko supports the specialist.

Probably, those responsible for flood works should treat them with great diligence. After all, a lot of money has been allocated for this - 2.1 billion rubles. We hope that the funds will be spent for their intended purpose and the Kuban people will not have to build an ark.

HELP "KP"
