The Kuibyshev Reservoir (its lower part is often called the Zhigulev Sea) is the largest reservoir on the Volga River. Originated in 1955-1957. after the completion of the construction of the Zhigulevskaya hydroelectric power station dam, which blocked the Volga valley in Zhiguli near the city of Stavropol (now Togliatti). It is the third largest reservoir in the world by area. The length of the reservoir is more than 500 km, the greatest width at the mouth of the Kama is 35-40 km, the area of ​​the water surface is 6.45 thousand km² (among rivers - the second largest in the world), the total volume of water is 58 km³, of which 34 km³ is useful. The backwater level at the dam is 29 m, it extends along the Volga to the city of Novocheboksarsk, along the Kama River to the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. The reservoir forms large bays along the valleys of the Kama, Sviyaga, Kazanka and other rivers. The reservoir in the spring near Tolyatti The main purpose of the reservoir is...

The purpose of the lesson:

1. Consolidation of knowledge about land waters;
2. Continue developing skills in working with contour maps;
3. Nurturing students’ environmental culture using the example of their native land.

Equipment:

DURING THE CLASSES

  1. Introduction to the game situation:
  2. 1.Teacher’s message about the topic of the lesson and main goal: “Get acquainted with the rivers and lakes of the Mari region and draw largest rivers to the contour map. This lesson somewhat unusual, this is not just a lesson, but an auction lesson. The word “auction” comes from the Greek “auctio” - the sale of goods at a public auction, in which the goods are first put up for inspection. Today, the product remains a secret until the end of the lesson. In order to purchase this product you must show your knowledge. Your knowledge will be assessed with tokens of different values ​​- 3 euros, 2 euros, 1 euro, depending on the correct answer and the cost of the question. My assistant will hand out tokens to you throughout the lesson. At the end of the lesson, you will have accumulated capital - a certain amount - and you can purchase this product with your own money.

  3. Conducting an auction and performing work on the contour map.

1) The first part of the auction is solving a crossword puzzle. But first, a few questions:

  • What land waters are there on the territory of our republic? (Rivers, lakes, swamps, groundwater);
  • Do you think the rivers of our republic belong to the basin of which river? (Volga).

2) Now we move on to the crossword puzzle and at the same time work on the contour map

  1. The river, a tributary of the Volga, is second in size only to the Kama and Oka (Vetluga);
  2. It flows in the northeast of the republic with a very stormy current in the spring. The largest slope (Nemda);
  3. Is there a lot of swamp ore flowing along the banks in the west of the republic? (Rutka);
  4. The river does not freeze in winter; it flows along Klenovaya Mountain (Ilet);
  5. Most large influx Ilet (Yushut) rivers;
  6. The longest and most abundant river in Europe (Volga);
  7. It occurs in the area where the coldest rivers are (Lazh).

Now let's find the river on which the capital of our republic, Yoshkar-Ola (M. Kokshaga), is located, and the Bolshaya Kokshaga river is 50 km longer than Malaya.

3) Let's do it conclusions:

All the rivers of the republic are predominantly snow-fed with spring floods and they all belong to the Volga River basin. The river fall is small.

3.1 The rivers of our region are beautiful, but the Mari lakes are even more beautiful. Most of them are located in picturesque places and have scientific and health value.

Let's remember!

  • What groups are lake basins divided into by origin? (Glacial, tectonic, dammed, karst or sinkhole lakes, oxbow lakes, volcanic, residual);
  • What kind of lakes based on the origin of the basins can be found here? (Karst, oxbow lakes).

3.2.The deepest lakes of our region are karst or failed. There are most of them on the Mari-Vyatsky Uval, which is composed of limestone rocks. These lakes were formed as a result of karst processes. What are these processes? (Destruction rocks groundwater). The most deep lake republics - Tabashinskoye or Zriv - its depth is 56 m (shown on the map. Orsha district), and the largest in area is our Yalchik - 150 hectares, 1.81 sq. m.

3.3. Floodplain lakes or oxbow lakes located in river valleys. The largest oxbow lake is Mangach, in the valley of the Sura River.

  • Why are lakes called oxbow lakes? (Old river beds).

3.4. And finally, in the Mari Lowland there are many shallow inter-bottom lakes - they occupy basins between the hills of this lowland - one of the largest such lakes is Sorocha - the east of the Mari Lowland.

3.5. About 30 lakes of the Mari region are recognized as natural monuments and measures for their protection have been determined. Have you noticed how strict it has become with travel to Lake Yalchik and Lake Glukhoe? And the reason is that Lake Glukhoe, rightfully considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the republic, has become shallow by 3 meters over the past 10 years. Scientists have found out the reason - soil compaction due to a large number of tourists - the number of groundwater– there was less water in the lake.

3.6. They play an important role in the water content of rivers and lakes. swamps We have a lot of them, especially in the western part, in the Mari Lowland. But over the past 50 years, due to deforestation and development of peatlands, the number of swamps has sharply decreased, which means the water content of rivers and lakes has decreased. An example of the Nemda River, even 10 years ago, not to mention 20 years ago, this was the fastest river in our region. Now the speed of the current has dropped by 2 times - the reason is the drainage of the swamps in the area.

4) Water, like the forest, national wealth of our Mari region. And it is no coincidence that the knowledge about water among the Mari people is reflected in riddles and sayings:

Students give examples of such riddles and sayings.

  • Flows, flows will not flow (river);
  • Undresses - roars, dresses - crackles
  • The water is close, but the mountain is slimy
  • The water covers everything, and the shore digs
  • I eat, I eat - there is no trace, I cut, I cut - there is no blood, I chop, I chop - there are no chips (water), and others.

Students' guessing is assessed with tokens.

5) Teacher’s conclusion: “The Mari region is a land of rivers and lakes; these words are not accidental. And I think in the lesson you were convinced of this. And the number of folk sayings and riddles, their deep meaning, speaks of the great role of water in human life. We just have to find out how many rivers and streams flow through the republic, how many lakes there are in our region?” (476 rivers, more than 5 km long; 200 lakes).

Students call out numbers and receive tokens for correct answers.

III. Summarizing.

1. The teacher continues the lesson and asks the students the following question:

  • What is the most expensive and valuable water in the republic?

After reasoning, students come to the answer “Klenogorsk mineral water.”

  • So the product is visible? Let's start the auction.

Initial price -...!

Who is bigger?

When the bargaining is over, the student who has earned the most euros receives a bottle of water and a “5” grade, the rest exchange their “euro” for other grades (“4” and “5”, optionally “3”) depending on the amount accumulated.

IV. Homework.

  1. Create a contour map.
  2. Read the article in the textbook on Mari El “Nature Conservation”. Page _____

The main rivers are the Volga and Vetluga. In the recent past, four rivers of the republic: Ilet, Yushut, Bolshoi Kundysh, Bolshaya Kokshaga - were among the ten most clean rivers Europe. The development of industry and agriculture has led to a deterioration in the condition of surface and groundwater.

The cleanest rivers are: Lazh, M. Sundyr, B. Sundyrka, B. Kokshaga, B. Kundysh, Rutka and Ilet. The most polluted rivers of the republic remain the Ronga (Sovetsky settlement), Turechka (Mari-Turek settlement), Serdyazhka (Sernur settlement), Paranginka (Paranga settlement), Nemda (Kuzhener and Novy Toryal settlements) and the river. Nuzh (Mikhailovsky settlement). Among the pollutants discharged into water bodies, easily oxidizable substances according to BOD5, ammonium nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, metal compounds, phosphates and petroleum products predominated. Of the lakes, the cleanest are Lake. Crucian carp and Thorn.

Most of water bodies classified as class 3 moderately polluted waters.

For quality river water Most of the water bodies of the republic, as well as the Cheboksary and Kuibyshev reservoirs, were still affected by transboundary pollution that came from the territories of neighboring constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Despite the last years measures, the state of the republic's surface and groundwater continues to be alarming. Thus, the condition of small rivers is catastrophic - their flow is decreasing, and the quality of the water does not meet environmental and sanitary-hygienic requirements. Surface water to a greater extent than underground ones, they are susceptible anthropogenic impact. The influence is especially great Wastewater industrial, agricultural and municipal enterprises and surface runoff from fields, agricultural facilities, environmentally and sanitary areas of populated areas and industrial facilities. The water quality of most water bodies does not meet regulatory requirements, there is a trend increasing pollution water resources, in connection with which the requirements for the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants are increasing. Wastewater treatment at wastewater treatment plants is ineffective due to non-compliance technological regulations operation of treatment stations. In recent years, the republic has witnessed unsystematic diversion land plots for construction of objects social sphere without taking into account the protection of water bodies from pollution.

More than 30% of the pollution of water bodies comes from the pulp and paper industry enterprises of JSC Mari PPM in Volzhsk, as well as treatment facilities of the housing and communal services of Yoshkar-Ola. The discharge of wastewater from the plant has bad influence per condition aquatic ecosystem R. Volga, as it worsens the hydrochemical condition of the Kuibyshev reservoir for a number of pollutants.

The state of surface and groundwater is alarming. The most polluted sections of the Malaya Kokshaga rivers (below the discharge of wastewater from the wastewater treatment plants of Yoshkar-Ola) and Nolka (below the discharge of storm water from Yoshkar-Ola factories).

One of the problems in the republic is the flooding of territories when the level of the Cheboksary reservoir rises, the degradation of ecosystems in the reservoir zone and in the adjacent territories.

The groundwater

The territory of the Republic is located within the Eastern European artesian region. The large thickness of sedimentary deposits and the different lithological composition of the water-bearing rocks determined a wide variety of hydrochemical types of groundwater, among which fresh, mineral waters and brines are distinguished.

The Republic has significant resources of drinking quality groundwater, the reserves of which are estimated at 3.2 million m3/day, which is 4.2 thousand l/day per person. (with a water consumption standard of 200 l/day), despite this, the population’s provision drinking water good quality remains at a low level.

Medicinal mineral waters are represented by 2 types: nitrogen mineral waters that do not contain specific components (chloride-sulfate, sodium-calcium, magnesium-calcium, calcium), which are used as medicinal drinking water by local sanatoriums, and mineral waters with specific components ( ferrous, iodide, bromine, with increased content boron, hydrogen sulfide).

Brines are distributed almost everywhere below the Sakmarian stage of the Lower Permian, however, explored industrial deposits mineral waters not in the republic. Currently, the mud baths of the republic use bromine brines with a high content of iodine and boron, as well as hydrogen sulfide waters.

The mineral waters of the Mari El Republic are of interest for both medicinal and drinking use. Their quality and reserves allow wider use of available mineral water resources for sanatorium treatment and bottling.

On the territory of the republic, two persistent foci of contamination of underground aquifers were discovered in the Medvedevsky district near the village of Kuchki, where the dump of liquid industrial waste of the vitamin plant and the solid waste dump of the city of Yoshkar-Ola are located, and in the Zvenigovsky district, in the village. Suslonger hydrolysis plant.
