Into park structure have entered: wildlife preserves of nation-wide value of "Bakai of the Curve plait», «Elenchaksky bakai», «the Belosarajsky plait» and «Priazovsky herons», an ornithological wildlife preserve of local value «Krivokossky estuary», nature sanctuaries of local value «the Curve plait» and «Pine cultures».
In 2004 the regional landscape park «Half-Ovetsky steppe» has been included in structure «Meotida».

Park problems

One of the primary goals of park are: regulation of economic, recreational and scientific activity for the purpose of preservation of natural landscapes, objects of a plant and animal life, monuments of history and culture of the given territory; working out and introduction of scientific methods of preservation of landscapes in the conditions of economic and recreational use, introduction of ecologically safe technologies of agricultural production; creation of favorable conditions for the organized tourism and rest; regulation of quantity having a rest within the limits of recreational loadings.

Flora and fauna

In "Meotide" typical and unique vegetative groupings of a coastal strip of sea of Azov are protected. The flora totals 640 kinds, including more than 40 эндемических. 49 formations saline, steppe, marsh, water, sandy and синантропической vegetation are allocated. In the Red book of Ukraine 15 kinds of flora are brought.

Ecological conditions in Donetsk area

Industrial development of Donbass has led to its ecological "overload": the Donetsk area is high on the list in Europe and the first place in Ukraine on level of degradation of environment. The territory of area during industrialization has appeared almost completely involved in economic circulation. By 1991 the prirodno-reserved fund of Donetsk area made only 0,6 % of its territory (at the European criteria not less than 5 %).

Dynamics of pollution

Level of harmful emissions in atmosphere has a little decreased in 1990th years: if in 1990 the volume of industrial emissions in atmosphere the area enterprises has made 2,5 million tons of harmful substances in 1996 — already 1,88 million т that is connected, first of all, with reduction of industrial production of area.

On years dynamics of emissions looks as follows:

1985 — 3 205,2 thousand т (or 26,4 % общеукраинского volume of pollution);

1990 — 2 500,0 thousand т;

1992 — 2 379,3 thousand т (or 27,6 %);

1994 — 2 093,1 thousand т (or 33,8 %);

1996 — 1 882,6 thousand т (or 39,5 %);

1998 — 1 561,0 thousand т (or 37,6 %);

1999 — 1 588,2 thousand т (or 38,6 %);

2000 — 1 589,9 thousand т (or 40,2 %);

2001 — 1 588,7 thousand т (or 39,2 %).

Structure of pollution

Most "polluting" are following branches of the heavy industry of area:

Iron and steel industry — 33,3 %;

The coal industry — 31,9 %;

Power industry — 30,8 %;

Transport — 0,6 %;

Building — 0,3 %;

Agriculture — 0,03 %.

Thus more than 40 % of volume of harmful emissions are necessary on 3 power stations and 4 metal works of area:

The Mariupol metallurgical industrial complex of a name of Ilyich — 11,2 %;

Kurahovsky state district power station — 7,7 %;

Uglegorsk state district power station — 7,1 %;

Old Beshevsky state district power station — 6,3 %;

Metallurgical industrial complex "Azovstal" — 5,7 %;

Enakievsky metal works — 2,7 %;

Makeevsky metallurgical industrial complex of a name of Kirov — 1,5 %.

Cities with the greatest quantity of a harmful waste thrown out in atmosphere (2003):

Mariupol — 401,6 thousand т;

Donetsk — 161,1 thousand т;

Kurahovo (Marinsky area) — 120 thousand т;

Makeyevka — 112,3 thousand т;

a New World (Old Beshevsky area) — 100 thousand т;

Enakievo — 78,2 thousand т;

Gorlovka — 48,1 thousand т;

Krasnoarmeysk — 39,3 thousand т;

Avdeevka — 32,9 thousand т.

Nature protection actions

In 1990 the area public began to show special attention to environmental problems of Donbass: the network of prirodno-reserved objects is expanded, for example, the national natural park «Sacred Mountains» in a flood plain of Severski Donets on February, 13th, 1997 is created, a number of nature protection actions at area leading enterprises is spent.

SOURCE SACRED PANTELEMONA

There is still variety of esteemed natural sources, such as in village Bogorodichnoe, on Sacred mountains, in village Nikolsky, near Nikolo-Vasilevskogo of a monastery, Tishkina Krinitsa, in village Ilichevka on small river the Bulavin, the Cossack spring, on rock over Kalmiusom for village Solntsevo, in village Torsky, on small river the Stallion, and many other things. As widely known, and местночтимые sources and колодези are near many orthodox temples. For much it is known колодезь near an ancient Odigitrievsky temple in Kiselevke, there are data that behind water and healing to him before revolution came even from far Petersburg.

The sources located near brisk highways become the most visited. On a line Donetsk — Mariupol is rather popular a spring near to Volnovahi, known Krinitsa under the name. In vicinities of Volnovahi it is a lot of beams with the springs which pure streams form small river Wet Volnovaha. One of them — a source of Krinitsa, he is in small green балочке near the highway. Near to it the big platform on which tens passing buses stop is equipped, there and then is базарчик, trade in souvenirs. Passing can have a rest, wash in transparent струе a spring and type remarkable water.

Now it is possible to rejoice only to that on Donbass springs have started to arrange well, take under law protection as nature sanctuaries, they are consecrated with church, inhabitants is better preserve and use their pure ice cold water more.

Esteemed springs and wells of Donetchiny

Springs and wells on Donetchine were always esteemed by the people. Now many sources are arranged well by church or patrons of art and consecrated in honor of the orthodox sacred. So the Avdeevsky source — is consecrated in honor of prelate Nikolay Chudotvortsa, a source in Removke — in honor of healer Pantelejmona. Many sources are known far outside of our region. To them there come many people, tourist routes are laid, trips of pilgrims are spent.

Historical spring in Avdeevke

Far outside of area the Avdeevsky source of prelate Nikolay which visit not only inhabitants of neighboring settlements, but also heads of Donetsk and area and other visible people is known. Visitors from Germany, Italy and other countries are frequent here. Consider that to a fertile source some hundreds years. It is said that from him took water, going by an oxen to Crimea behind salt.

Officially a source it is mentioned since the basis of Avdeevki (1778). At the time of godlessness the spring has been filled up. Have restored him again in 2002. The source is located in oak wood on a picturesque glade, the parking place here is equipped. Over a spring — an artwork a well wooden felling. Arrived here not only are reserved by healing water, but also type her buckets given here, having a shower bath her in special booths. Water temperature invigorating — always eight degrees. Near to a well a cozy small chapel of prelate Nikolay in which weekly takes place divine service. In day of celebrating of memory of Nikolay Chudotvortsa to a source from the Piously-Mihajlovsky temple of Avdeevki passes religious procession, the way here occupies about 40 minutes. To get to a source from Donetsk easy. On highway to Konstantinovka the colourful index is from apart visible. Having curtailed from a line on the left, you through half-kilometer of wood road will be at the purpose.

Source of the Kasperovsky monastery

At an abrupt bend of small river Gruzsky, among dense gardens of village Kiselevka the Kasperovsky female monastery lies. Among the green sea of gardens as the big white liner, towers an ancient Odigitrievsky temple of a monastery. The source has made the way on a stony slope of a high hill in several kilometers from a monastery above on a watercourse. On holidays from a monastery to him passes religious procession.

Source name live and silver because in his water there are silver ions. Over a place вытока waters costs stone стела with the icon cut on her and prayer words. From hill top the fascinating panorama of spacious Donetsk steppe and a green valley of small river leaving afar Gruzsky opens. At a hill foot one more spring with iodide water follows.
To visit the Silver source and the Kasperovsky monastery it is possible from Mospino, whence to Kiselevki about five kilometers. The source is located on settlement suburb Gruzsko-Zorjansky. Nearby there is a stop of a suburban train of "Rjasnoe", from which to a source about a half an hour on foot.

Removsky source of healer Pantelejmona

The source is on southern suburb of a city Snow, in settlement Removka. Here, in upper courses of small small river Nut, in a beam the big stream the known spring on Donbass which water contains many useful elements streams. Near to it the covered chapel-font for full ablution is erected. The chapel and a source are consecrated in honor of sacred healer Pantelejmona. Near a source always people. Nearby, on small parking place, we saw the bus with pilgrims and motor vehicles from Snow and other cities which inhabitants type here water. From city center the fixed-route taxi here goes. On an eminence near to a spring the gold dome of an ancient temple from which through a colourful arch the track to a source conducts shines.

Hartsyzsky live spring

Near a highway which are bending around from the south the city of Hartsyzsk, there is a spring using a good reputation. From him, probably, legendary Cossacks of Saur and Zuj took water. The Zuj-mountain which towers here reminds Of the old past, in territory of Hartsyzska, and from her it is possible to see and the glorified Saur-tomb. Nowadays near a noteworthy source the cozy, arranged well area with little shops and parking place on which many buses passing on brisk highway stop was formed, and people are reserved by spring water. When this spring has been equipped, any more don't remember. In Soviet period water flew from a pipe in a pedestal on which sat, having spread the wings, a stone eagle — a traditional symbol of healing waters. More recently, in 2003, near to a spring has been erected златоверхий a temple in honor of an icon of Divine Mother "Iversky". End-to-end to a present concrete curbstone of a source the spacious chapel-font is put. In her cabins for douche are equipped, the pool for full immersing alive water of the consecrated source is made.

Monahovsky silver spring

Village near Monahovo which lies between Makeyevka and Enakievo, on a small rocky wall on a beam slope, from pipe carefully put between stones the stream of ice cold water plentifully flows. Near a spring on a stone eminence there is a high wooden cross. The Monahovsky spring is popular not only among local residents, to him to drink and type waters, on motor vehicles and electric trains come from Makeyevka, Donetsk and other cities. Spring water differs remarkable qualities. She seems water of many other known springs in Donbass is more tasty. She long remains and remains fresh because, allegedly, in her silver contains. Arrived by an electric train it is necessary to pass a railway line to station Monahovo and on натоптанной to a track to go down in a beam to a spring a little. Who has arrived from Donetsk, can come back in an hour back an electric train going in Jasinovatuju.

LIVE SPRINGS OF DONBASS

In the shallow and droughty Donetsk edge having the big deficiency of water, think much of natural sources of potable water. Water of many springs, especially from ancient deep layers of the earth, contains useful elements and has curative properties. To live natural water prefer before the tap water cleared by house filters and available in sale бутилированной, unfortunately, on the quality not always to answering advertizing. Many springs of Donbass have the interesting historical past and use the deserved popularity even outside of the edge. To be reserved by reviver from them go not only from near, but also distant places. By the way, separate natural sources are consecrated by church. A number of characteristic springs for Donetsk area is taken by the state under protection, he appropriates the nature protection reserved status. We have visited at the most known springs and криниц Donbass, have enjoyed their remarkable водицы, were dipped into the consecrated fonts from what, it is necessary to notice, nobody has caught a cold, saw fine picturesque places, have learned a lot of interesting about what we want to tell.

Reserved sources of Donbass

In our corner of the world very many natural natural sources of different hydrological type which give to the population high-quality potable water. For their preservation it is necessary not only protection, but also the qualified estimation which is carried out by geological and ecological services. Under hydrological characteristics four sources typical for our region are allocated and taken under the state protection. He gives the nature protection status of nature sanctuaries of regional value.

Springs in sources of Kalmiusa.

In village Mineral near to Jasinovatoj there is a hydrological nature sanctuary with the official name "Sources of Kalmiusa". Here in поросшей by wood to a shady beam with steep slopes layers of sandy breeds of the coal period are bared. Water-bearing layers of these breeds form some tens springs at the bottom of a beam. In bowels of Donbass large supplies of quality water are hidden. Horizons of the coal and cretaceous periods are richest with valuable potable water. Springs in sources of Kalmiusa are exits of deep waters on a surface. Long time water of springs stored in ancient rocks is known for the rather valuable drinking qualities.

The source is arranged well by Jasinovatsky machine works. The biggest stream of spring water follows from under a rock with the name "Oat-flakes", which as though has inclined over this spring the curly big stone head. Under a rock the spacious font is equipped. Nearby in a frame semidozen elastic mirror streams of springs there is a big granite cross. Enter into ice cold water at first боязно, but after traditional triple immersing when you leave, you are covered by feeling of clemency and harmony.
Source of the mineralized waters to Konkovo.
The village Konkovo is on the river of Gruzsky Elanchik near to village Homutovo where the known reserve "Homutovsky steppe" lies. Bus excursions often include in Homutovsky steppe also visiting of a source esteemed in the people. Karstic channels of limestones serve as drainage system of surrounding rocks, therefore limestones create the largest springs, such as Vigorous Krinitsa of village near Styla, whence potable water submit to Donetsk. Springs concern this type to Konkovo also. Here on an abrupt slope of a hill from the Sarmatian limestones which age more than 12 million the years, several streams streams poorly mineralized healing water. Temperature of this water leaving deep bowels, in the winter and in the summer identical — about 10 degrees. At hill top — a monument to soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. Diligence of the priest of the local church erected still in 1846, on a slope the font where pilgrims come to plunge is arranged. The font is consecrated in honor of the Virgin. At any time year at a font it is a lot of people who go here to be washed in a curative source and to visit ancient church.
Cretaceous springs at village Shandrigolovo of Krasnolimansky area - one more nature sanctuary. These are valleys of small river Nitrius beating from cretaceous slopes, keys it is crystal transparent underground waters. The small river proceeds here among powerful deposits of the chalk, which age about 80 million years. From a cretaceous file through zones internal трещиноватости, formed by tectonic forces, deep waters escape on a surface, from time to time gushing forth. The small river Nitrius is inflow of Severski Donets. She is formed by waters of set of cretaceous springs. It is one of the purest small rivers of Donbass. Springs at village Shandrigolovo represent hydrological value, their water filtered by a chalk to high cleanliness, is excellent potable water, being низкоминерализованной and cold, she is successfully used for cultivation of a trout.

Pure wells in a beam of Skotovataja at village Novoselidovka of Marinsky area are considered as the typical natural phenomenon and also have the status of a nature sanctuary of regional value. Here in a green picturesque beam three are taken under protection transparent криницы. They differ from springs in sources of Kalmiusa and at villages Konkovo and Shadrigolovo where being deeply in bowels under the big pressure underground waters escape on a surface that скотоватские wells — sources falling самотечного type. The water-bearing layer, their feeding, on level is above, and water in криницы arrives самотеком. It corresponds to national representation about кринице as about the natural or man-made source lying in a green frame of meadow grasses and black poplars.
